Euan Lindsay

Professor Lindsay is the Professor of PBL and Digitalisation in Engineering Education at the Aalborg Centre for Problem Based Learning in Engineering Science and Sustainability (UCPBL). Euan’s academic career has been spent at the frontiers of the discipline of engineering education. He is best known for his work in developing pioneering new models of engineering education that combine the authenticity of work- and problem-based learning with the flexibility of digitally enabled curricula. He has two decades’ experience in the digitalisation of engineering education, exploring what and how student engineers learn in digitally supported environments.

During his academic career, Euan has held a number of leadership roles in engineering education, serving as Dean, Head of School and Foundation Professor. He has been invited to give keynote presentations around the world, ranging from the UK to China to Bahrain. He is frequently invited to speak at panel sessions with themes like “Dangerous Ideas” or “Great Leaps Forward”. He serves on a number of advisory boards related to innovation and quality assurance in Engineering education, and is a Fellow of both Engineers Australia and the UK Higher Education Academy. He is currently a director of the European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI).

Euan believes most major challenges facing society today can be solved by engineers, including providing clean drinking water, energy sustainability or communications technology to keep people connected. He is excited about developing new engineering programs with a focus on making a difference, not just solving problems and making things, and hopes to inspire students to move forward in their careers with passion.
