Today, we had the privilege of bringing together a diverse group of educators from various interdisciplinary fields for a dynamic focus group session. Hosted at the Design Studio, within the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Malta, this event served as a crucial step in the EDUWEAR project’s mission to redefine engineering education for wearable device development.
The primary objective of the session was to explore and identify the key competencies that future engineers will need in this rapidly evolving field. As wearable technology continues to expand its influence in healthcare and rehabilitation, equipping students with the necessary knowledge and practical skills is more critical than ever. Through engaging discussions and collaborative exchanges, participants shared their insights on curriculum development, essential skills needed, how to integrate cross-disciplinary expertise to better prepare students and more. By gathering expert perspectives from educators, we are working to develop a robust framework that ensures students gain relevant, future-ready competencies.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shape the next generation of engineering professionals through innovative education strategies!
