More about Emanuela:
Previously, Emanuela designed the curricula for IEP projects and global challenges to introduce problem, experimental, research and enquiry-based learning to a multi-disciplinary first year cohort of engineering students at UCL. Much of her curriculum design and development work has been influenced by her industrial background in mechanical and civil structural engineering, as prior to joining UCL she worked as a consulting engineer, leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams in the design and testing of the world’s most unique tall towers, large structures and masterplans. The Integrated Engineering Programme is an award winning and globally recognised teaching framework embedded in the learning experiences of undergraduate students across UCL Engineering to better prepare them for tackling future global challenges.
Emanuela is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (PFHEA), the Director of Education at the UCL Centre for Engineering Education (UCL CEE), Co-Lead for the UCL Entrepreneurship Community of Practice and current Vice-President for SEFI (European Society of Engineering Education).
