Paul Hermon, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Queen”s University Belfast, UK Mr. Hermon is a Senior Teaching Fellow in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Queen”s University Belfast. He is Programme Director of the Product Design and Development (PDD) degrees offered in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at QUB. The PDD degrees were introduced in 2004 and developed in line with the syllabus and standards defined by the CDIO Initiative (est. 2000) is an international collaboration of universities aiming to improve the education of engineering students. The CDIO ethos is that students are taught in the context of conceiving, designing, implementing and operating a product or system. Fundamental to this is an integrated curriculum with multiple Design-Build-Test (DBT) experiences at the core. (QUB) was the first UK University to join the CDIO initiative.
