52 Conference of the European Society for Engineering

Providing authentic experiential learning activities is an important part of educating responsible engineers. In addition to disciplinary knowledge and skills, it is important that our graduating engineers achieve fluency in transversal skills. The trident framework developed by 3T PLAY helps educators ensure that they are maximising students' transversal skill development (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13328581). The framework targets three distinct but interrelated evidence-informed pedagogical aspects of skill development: knowing (strategies and models to implement the skill), experiencing (opportunities to apply the skills and encounter relevant difficulties) and learning by experience (meta-cognitive/emotional reflection to promote transfer). In this workshop, participants will experience an activity developed using the trident framework and analyse it to identify the operationalisation of these three aspects. Following this orientation, participants will then work in small groups to develop activities that target transversal skills that are relevant in their own contexts. The facilitation team will provide scaffolded guidance and materials to help in developing these prototype activities (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10992806). Finally, participants will be provided with additional resources to further support their efforts and invited to participate in an online platform for sharing activities that teach transversal skills.
