New London engineering school ‘will dare to be different’
A deliberately daring new kind of engineering education is the boldly stated aspiration of the The Engineering and Design Institute in London, or TEDI-London. With a focus on project-driven degree programs in global design engineering, the institute is a partnership that will combine the resources of Arizona State University, King’s College London and UNSW Sydney, in Australia, to help solve an array of pressing global challenges. TEDI-London’s dean and chief executive, Judy Raper (pictured), talks about the school’s strong commitment to an unswerving thrust into unconventional approaches to learning engineering and creatively applying its guiding principles. The founding of the institute has been supported through an alliance involving the Fulton Schools and the aforementioned schools in Sydney and London.
