Welcome to the CIBSE Education Guild.
The CIBSE Education Guild has been established as a forum for those committed to delivering suitable education to meet the needs of the building services engineering profession and the broader community.
By fostering collaboration, innovation, and excellence in education, we aim to support the development of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals who can positively contribute to society and the built environment.
The main objectives of the CIBSE Education Guild are to:
- Bring together engineering educators from diverse backgrounds within the built environment.
- Discuss and develop new approaches to engineering education.
- Explore topics such as inspiring the next generation of professionals, addressing social and environmental issues, leveraging technology, and effectively preparing students for real-world challenges.
- Facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among educational providers nationally and globally.
- Enhance the reputation and visibility of outstanding teaching staff and students.
- Provide a focus for educational matters in building services engineering and related disciplines.
We plan to promote activities that provide opportunities to further our objectives which could include:
- Workshops, seminars, and conferences to discuss relevant topics and share best practices.
- Guidance and resources for further and higher educational institutions
- Curriculum guidance, sharing good practices, and core materials.
- Collaborative projects and initiatives among educational providers.
- Linking with industry for collaborative curriculum development, delivery, and student placements.
- Exploring course designs to facilitate flexibility in transferring and bridging between sub-disciplines.
- Partnerships with industry, professional bodies, and other stakeholders to promote excellence in engineering education.
Membership of the CIBSE Education Guild is open to individuals with an interest in engineering education.
Join us in shaping the future of building services engineering education, ensuring that our professionals are ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
