This research followed earlier work (reported in a thesis presented in 1970) on factors associated with the academic performance of a sample of technical college students, which recommended the further study of students' motivation. The technical college then became part of a polytechnic, but the courses chosen for the continuation of the research were all of a specifically vocational character. The approach was influenced by Angyal (1941) in seeking to relate symbolic processes to broader behaviour patterns within a systems framework. Forms of semantic differential were developed to obtain the students' responses to words representing various activities and various people both within and outside the academic environment. Also, a "!growth motivation questionnaire" was produced using ideas from self-actualisation, job satisfaction and expectancy theory and examination marks were recorded. From pre-coded responses to the growth motivation questionnaire, scores on a 'study satisfaction' factor were calculated, and subsamples of students were taken at the extremes of this scale. Wriitten responses from the same questionnaire and semantic differential factor scores showed contrasting patterns between the two subsamples. Interpretation of these patterns suggested a diversity of approach to academic work among the students which calls for greater flexibility in the educational system serving them.

The UK Government and large employers have recognised the skills gap between learners leaving the education system and the requirements of employers. The current system is seen to be failing significant numbers of learners and has been accused of schooling but not educating our young people. University-led technical colleges are one part of the solution being developed to provide outstanding engineering education. This paper focusses on the learning experience that the Aston University Engineering Academy, the first University-led University Technical College (UTC), has created for entrants to the Engineering Academy in September 2012, when it opens in brand new buildings next to the University. The overall aim is to produce technically literate young people that have business and enterprise skills as well as insight into the diverse range of opportunities in Engineering and Technical disciplines. The project has brought University staff and students together with employers and Academy staff to optimise the engineering education that they will receive. The innovative model presented has drawn on research from across the world in the implementation of this new type of school, as well as educational practices from the USA and the Scandinavian countries. The resulting curriculum is authentic and exciting and expands the University model of problem-based learning and placements into the secondary school environment. The benefits of this close partnership for University staff and students, the employers and the Academy staff are expanded on and the paper concludes with a prediction of progression routes from the Academy.

Die AQ Austria ist durch das Hochschul-Qualitätssicherungsgesetz (HS-QSG) beauftragt, alle drei Jahre einen Bericht zur Entwicklung der Qualitätssicherung an hochschulischen Bildungseinrichtungen zu erstellen. In diesem ersten Bericht werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Spezifika der drei Hochschulsektoren – öffentliche Universitäten, Privatuniversitäten und Fachhochschulen – bei der Gestaltung des internen Qualitätsmanagements sowie bei den Maßnahmen der Qualitätssicherung und –entwicklung aufgezeigt. Die aktuellen Themenbereiche und Fragestellungen sind in die nationalen Rahmenbedingungen eingebettet, innerhalb derer die österreichischen Hochschulen agieren und die die Qualitätssicherung an den österreichischen Hochschulen mitbestimmen.

Die Publikation zur AQ Austria Jahrestagung 2015 widmet sich dem Lernen und Lehren an Hochschulen und den vielfältigen Wandlungsprozessen durch die zunehmende biographische, soziale und kulturelle Diversität der Studierenden sowie elektronischen Medien. Student-centred Learning (SCL) gewinnt verstärkt an Bedeutung. Diese Wandlungsprozesse treffen nicht nur Studierende, Lehrende und die Hochschulen als Institutionen, auch die Qualitätssicherung in Studium und Lehre. Der Beitrag von Prof. Nacken zeigt auf, welche Chancen und Herausforderungen sich durch SCL in verschiedensten Bereichen ergeben. Er geht auf das Projekt „Studierende im Fokus der Exzellenz“, die Entwicklung der Charta für gute Lehre und aktuelle Trends und Probleme bei digitaler Lehre ein. Die studentische Perspektive zeigt Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten und Maßnahmen in Richtung Studierendenzentrierung auf. In den weiteren Beiträgen wird auf Didaktik und Qualitätssicherung, Determinanten studentischen Lernerfolgs, alternative Formen der Lehrevaluation und die Sichtbarmachung von non-formal und informell erworbenen Kompetenzen eingegangen und zwei beschäftigen sich mit Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Veränderungen durch neue Medien.

Die Jahrestagung 2014 der AQ Austria widmete sich einerseits dem Spannungsfeld zunehmender Diversifizierung von Hochschulen und standardisierten Qualitätssicherungsverfahren andererseits. Im vorliegenden Jahrestagungsband finden sich neben dem Hauptvortrag des Basler Universitätsrektors Loprieno über die Herausforderungen der Diversifizierung für Qualität sowie der Qualitätskultur an Hochschulen auch internationale Beiträge als Antwort aus der Sicht von Qualitätssicherungsagenturen auf die Diversifizierung. Weitere Artikel zu Themen wie duale Studiengänge, Studierbarkeit, Berufungsverfahren sowie Forschungskultur und Qualitätskultur runden die Diskussion über Qualitätssicherung und Diversifizierung in der vorliegenden Publikation ab. Mit Beiträgen von: Loprieno, Antonio; Hanft, Anke; Pichl, Elmar; Jackson, Stephen; Lund, Øystein; Cox, Jeremy; Fink, Kerstin; Brandstätter, Ursula; Bischof, Horst; Gaberscik, Gerald; Janger, Jürgen; Kastner, Johann; Steiger, Anna; Wilhelm, Elena; Holzinger, Helmut; Esca-Scheuringer, Heidi; Kecht, Maria-Regina; Schulmeister, Rolf; Haas, Johannes.

Dr. Hornung describes the origins of the German Templer Colony in Palestine and his upbringing there before and during World War II. Family moves to Templer settlement, Melbourne, Australia, 1948. He attends technical college; University of Melbourne; master’s in engineering, 1962. Researcher, Aeronautical Research Laboratories, Melbourne; PhD, Imperial College, London, 1965. He recalls his academic career at the Australian National University, Canberra (1967-1980); his interest in hypersonics; building free-piston shock tunnel with Raymond Stalker. Sabbatical in Darmstadt with Ernst Becker. Seven years as director of fluid-mechanics institute of the DLR [Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt], in Göttingen. Comes to Caltech in 1987 to succeed Hans W. Liepmann as director of GALCIT [Graduate Aerospace Laboratories, California Institute of Technology]. Recalls his various aero colleagues, his work with Rocketdyne on Caltech’s T5 (successor to Canberra’s T3 shock tunnel) and Ludwieg tube, collaboration with JPL on space program, and work with graduate students Simon Sanderson and Eric Cummings. Discusses his involvement in various scientific societies and his current activities and continuing research as an emeritus professor.
