Review phase
Until Spring 2026, we have reviewed the state-of-the-art of engineering, science and architecture curricula both at EPFL and internationally. We have collected feedback from students, teachers, educational leaders and other members of the community. Using this, Working Groups have worked on the proposal of potential alternative curriculum models, pedagogical approaches and institutional settings to provide inspiration during the co-design phase.
This review phase concluded in June 2026 with a set of proposals to inform and support the co-design phase (internal EPFL working document-to be shared soon).
Co-design phase
Starting in Autumn 2026, sections will begin to identify how proposed changes may be implemented in their context. The term ‘co-design’ implies that program models will be designed by people responsible for delivering and benefiting from programs (i.e. sections, teachers and students), considering the project’s principles. This will be informed by the review work which will provide data, models, and examples to support program development. This phase will also provide an opportunity for teachers to test new ideas and new materials before implementation.
