目的-本文的目的是工程部门进行快速课程更新（RCR）对工程教育可持续发展（EESD）的情况下，以尽量减少部门的风险暴露于快速变化的行业要求，政府法规和程序认证。然后，本文概述了RCR的一些要素。设计/方法/方式-本文首先提出，高等教育机构面临的“时滞困境”，即通常的或“标准”的课程更新方法，以嵌入新的知识和技能的课程可能需要太长的时间，落后于行业，监管和认证的转变。然后，本文概述了一个建议的RCR方法。本文介绍了一些初步的“RCR要素”制定的文献综述，许多现有的，但很大程度上是特设的例子，课程更新工程和其他学科领域，连同作者的经验，在triall…
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the case for engineering departments to undertake rapid curriculum renewal (RCR) towards engineering education for sustainable development (EESD), to minimise the department's risk exposure to rapidly shifting industry requirements, government regulations and program accreditation. This paper then outlines a number of elements of RCR.Design/methodology/approach – This paper begins by proposing that Higher Education Institutions face a “time lag dilemma,” whereby the usual or “standard” curriculum renewal approach to embed new knowledge and skills within the curriculum may take too long, lagging behind industry, regulatory, and accreditation shifts. This paper then outlines a proposed RCR approach. This paper presents a number of preliminary “elements of RCR” formulated from a literature review of numerous existing but largely ad hoc examples of curriculum renewal within engineering and other discipline areas, together with the authors' experience in triall...
