Description

Engineering the Future: Safety Risk Intelligence in Early Childhood. Knowing how safety risk intelligence develops and is used in practice has become increasingly important for keeping people safe at work. This study aims to investigate children’s capacity to read their environment for risks, engineer solutions to problems presented, and develop safety risk intelligence. Bringing imagination, play and engineering together in a SeeMore Engineering PlayWorld is an innovative approach for researching safety risk intelligence that offers different insights for pioneering future research in workforce safety. An intended outcome of the project is for robust empirical evidence to be generated; significantly contributing to the development of safety standards and evidence-informed practice for engineering education.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 3901 - Curriculum and Pedagogy. Lead: Em/Prof Marilyn Fleer
