SEFI@work | Enabling a Skilled and Diverse Engineering Workforce with Non-Degree Credentials

Authors Helen L. Chen and Isabel Cardenas-Navia will present chapter 16 “Enabling a Skilled and Diverse Engineering Workforce with Non-Degree Credentials” from the International Handbook of Engineering Education Research.

This webinar provides a unique opportunity to understand the important role that non-degree credentials have across a lifetime of engineering education in supporting skills development, and to get to know the researchers behind the chapter.

This interactive session will be of interest to those that want 

• Overall, to learn more about non-degree credentials and their benefits.
• To understand the various forms of non-degree credentials and how they support the education of engineers throughout their lifetime;
• To appreciate the different purposes of non-degree credentials;
• To explore what are the potential futures for non-degree credentials in engineering education;

There will be the opportunity to ask questions. This webinar is hosted by the Special Interest Group on Continuing Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning.

General information on the SEFI@work series around the “International Handbook of Engineering Education Research”:
In 2024 and 2025, the SEFI Special Interest Groups are joining efforts around the  “International Handbook of Engineering Education Research”. Each session will focus on one chapter, giving the floor to authors of the chapter. With this series we want to support the growth and maturing of the engineering education field and community in Europe and beyond. The goal of the series is to (1) increase the knowledge around engineering education research, (2) to strengthen the engineering education community feeling, and (3) to give a platform to the authors of the handbook’s chapters to disseminate their work.
