Using problem and project-based learning to integrate sustainability in engineering education (2024)
Other

Engineering graduates are increasingly required to implement sustainability focussed initiatives within industry, alongside enhanced expectations from professional bodies and the UK specification (UK-SPEC) for engineers (Engineering Council, 2024). H... Read More about Using problem and project-based learning to integrate sustainability in engineering education.

Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030 (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The environmental and health impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss are now apparent and yet cohesive policymaking to mitigate emissions is moving too slowly. The UK’s target for carbon neutrality has been set for 2050, but this has been sup... Read More about Educating engineers to contribute to a regional goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2030.

Using e-portfolios for professional development (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is often claimed that engineering graduates entering the workforce lack required professionalism skills – as defined by the UK-SPEC for Engineers (Engineering Council, 2013).

UWE considers Professional Development as very important. Work un... Read More about Using e-portfolios for professional development.

Individual engineering projects: How to achieve scientific depth and consistency of practice (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recent improvements to the UWE Individual Engineering Projects process are discussed, along with some of the outstanding issues.

Widening participation and social mobility: Encompassing and integrating learning opportunities (2018)
Journal Article

Abstract Many regional universities occupy interesting positions between hi-tech, urban employers and learners, and learners from less socially or economically advantaged (including rural) backgrounds. Many such institutions have maintained their pre... Read More about Widening participation and social mobility: Encompassing and integrating learning opportunities.
