DESCRIPTION:"This talk reports on a research study that has the dual aims 
 of improving theory and practice within an Engineering Education context. 
 The focus is on the development of students’ graduate-level work skills 
 as part of their Higher Education programme and a specific practice exampl
 e (during the ISMM programme) provided an ideal study opportunity. Engaged
  scholarship\, a research approach from Management Science\, was selected 
 as it provided a way to study practice that can generate both theoretical 
 and practical knowledge. The talk sets out the strengths and challenges of
  applying the Engaged Scholarship approach and evaluates the research desi
 gn in terms of quality.  The implementation phase is then reviewed and som
 e of the practical challenges that have been encountered are discussed. Th
 ese include engaging stakeholders\, consolidating perspectives and the sch
 edule of the ISMM programme being studied."
