A roadmap for engineering and technology education reform at The Norwegian University of Technology (NTNU)

Through the project “Technology Education of the Future” (FTS), NTNU has developed a holistic, systemic framework for re-design of its educational programmes in technology and engineering. FTS delivered its final report in January 2022 – a roadmap focusing on ‘how’, i.e., the concrete steps NTNU should take in the upcoming years in order to implement FTS’ previous recommendations on ‘why’ and ‘what’. This concept paper provides an overview of this roadmap, which outlines 12 Main Actions (MAs) within five quality areas, plus an overarching ‘umbrella action’ to enable the MAs. For each MA, some Prioritised Measures (PMs) are described. Based on a risk analysis we also provide procedural advice, emphasising factors deemed critical for a successful FTS implementation.
