The next ACCESS Group meeting will be held on the 17 April, 12pm-2pm. Bronwyn Hicks has kindly offered to host the meeting at Brisbane City Council.

Bronwyn has suggested that we contribute a few dollars each (probably under $5) and she will organise for sandwiches and juice to be provided. We can have lunch / discussion at the start and following that look at the collection area.

Those attending the meeting are asked to meet in the Constance Street foyer. We will need to sign in at the Reception and be escorted to the meeting room.

Please RSVP to Loretta Atkinson if you would like to attend by the 14 April. Also please let me know if there is anything you would like to discuss at the meeting.

Engineering Education Futures Forum

At the last ACCESS meeting Jocelyne Poirier informed us of the Engineering Education Futures Forum. The Forum will start on the evening of the 25 March and will conclude on the 28 March.

The aim of the Forum is:
- to bring together a group of key national and international engineering education stakeholders to consider the nature of engineering and engineering education in the 2015-2020 window.
- to present a series of wide-ranging 'vision statements' from key participants to help conceive the goals, curricula structure and implementation strategies for future engineering education.
- to design innovative curricular pathways supported by appropriate pedagogies for next-generation engineering programs that help address future graduate attributes as well as bring engineering science and practice into effective partnership.
