CoESE: Problem Based Learning for Smart Manufacturing: Bespoke Industrial Studios

50000

The Bespoke Industrial Studios (BIS) modules are part of the MSc Intelligent Engineering Science and Industrial Operations (IESIO) programme, which embodies XJTLU's commitment to Syntegrative Education. This innovative education model integrates academic and industrial expertise to equip students with skills highly relevant to the industry. The BIS modules focus on addressing real-world industrial challenges related to R&D, manufacturing, and supply chain management. Through close collaboration between industry experts and academic staff, students are immersed in problem-solving scenarios that mimic actual industrial conditions, thus enhancing their learning and practical experience. BIS 1, which has already been successfully launched, has received strong positive feedback from students due to its hands-on, practical focus. The success of this module highlights the need for further development and enhancement to maintain relevance and increase its impact. With this proposal, we aim to secure funding to enhance both BIS 1 and BIS 2, improving their delivery and expanding the involvement of industry partners. This funding will ensure that the modules continue to offer cutting-edge content and practical experiences in line with the evolving needs of the manufacturing and R&D sectors.
