With identified skills shortages across the engineering, science and technology professions, there is a growing need for highly trained academic staff able to impart knowledge from their own disciplines and create cross disciplinary STEM opportunities for current students. The Ecosystem model is a mesh network of inter-connected individuals who draw skills and knowledge from role-modelling and mentoring and who design new approaches to learning and teaching. Through this ecosystem framework, STEM academics are supported and encouraged to explore non- traditional ways of teaching STEM disciplines and test new methods of education and learning. This is an OLT funded 2 year project, involving Uni Sydney, Uni Queensland, RMIT and Uni Southern Queensland.
