What is CEEDA?
The Collaborative Engineering Education in the Digital Age website showcases examples of global best practice in collaborative and/or project-based engineering learning that are partially or wholly delivered online. It forms one element of a wider study looking at the lessons learnt from the current period of ‘emergency teaching’ and how this might impact the trajectory of engineering education in the future.
CEEDA report
The final CEEDA report was released on 28th October 2022. It explores the experiences of the engineering education community during COVID-19 emergency teaching and the likely impact of this systemic shock on the direction of travel for the sector.
