ME Professional competencies in Mathematical Sciences

regular seminar Dr Joan Nakato (University of Warwick)

at:
13:30 - 14:30
KCL, Strand
room: UCL, Torrington Place (1-19), B09
abstract:

Although STEM programs adequately equip students with the disciplinary knowledge required for the workplace, research suggests that STEM graduates have insufficient professional competencies. Further, employers expect STEM graduates to be able to link their areas of expertise to other disciplines (Sarkar et al., 2016) so that “a subject is not divided by watertight bulkheads from all others.

In this talk, I will reflect on the journey thus far towards fostering professional competencies in Mathematical Sciences.
