INTED2018

12th annual International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED2018) in Valencia (Spain) on 5-7 March, 2018, the paper "Delivery of a module on design for social change and innovation in the final year of an undergraduate degree". A relatively new challenge for Higher Education (HE) is how to facilitate and deliver the skills and competencies required for graduates to engage effectively with design for social change and innovation. This instructional challenge stems predominantly from a trend in recent years to address diverse and large-scale social challenges through design thinking and associated strategies geared towards social interventions. HE responses in this area remain mostly fragmented, piecemeal and inconsistent, comprising mostly of isolated initiatives. No benchmarks or guidelines exist to provide for educational standards.
