Developing a teaching and learning culture – the case of Faculty of Engineering at Lund University

The first chapter of this paper will give an overview of different ways of developing a university’s teaching and learning. There are many single activities that individually deal with the topic in a positive direction, such as teacher training, develop learning environments, develop teacher reward systems, etc. Traditionally educational development has been about these single activities focusing on individual teachers. But there has also been a change over time towards an increasingly focus on institutional strategies and even national policies. The second chapter sets the scene for the academic development work in the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University and the third chapter provides examples on aligned institutional activities and strategies, as well as an assessment of strong and weaker areas.
