The UCL Centre for Engineering Education is delighted to announce funding from the South African Department of Higher Education and Training to collaborate to develop a suite of Engineering Education Master Classes. These will be made available to engineering educators across South Africa over the next two years.
This project is a collaboration between two South African (University of Cape Town and the University of Johannesburg) and two UK universities (UCL and Aston University), to deliver a suite of opportunities for engineering lecturers to improve their theoretical and pedagogical knowledge. Master classes will be delivered face to face to participants in a highly interactive mode of teaching. These will be residential two-day workshops and Deans will be invited to nominate participants. Video materials based on the master classes will be produced and disseminated via a project website at the conclusion of the project. The Centre will provide a number of disciplinary experts from the UK to participate in a series of structured workshops that have the objective of developing courses focused specifically on introducing engineering educators to educational theory and method.
