| Last week, we held our annual European Convention for Engineering Deans 2024 at The University of Sheffield. The provocative topic, "Is higher education still fit for purpose?" led us to explore institutional change from an academic leadership perspective. Keynote speakers Ruth Graham, Sirin Tekinay, Euan Lindsay, Christian Lerminiaux, and Dirk Bochar provided valuable insights. We thank our sponsors and their representatives for their support and industry perspectives: Dassault Systèmes, MathWorks, Ansys, Autodesk, Knovel, McGraw Hill, and Quanser. |
