  • The University of Glasgow and the School of Design at the Glasgow School of Art have joinedforces to redefine the nature of an engineering curriculum and produce a degree program that is richin both creative design culture and design engineering skills. Graduates of this program are able,creatively, to critically analyze, evaluate and solve a diverse range of design and engineeringproblems, including their own life-long learning. This innovative curriculum enables graduates toenter the workforce as true reflective practitioners. This paper examines what can be achieved as aresult of breaking down traditional engineering education barriers.
