Practical Engineering Education 2021

The department of Multidisciplinary Engineering Education at the University of Sheffield are planning to run “Practical Engineering Education 21”, a conference aimed at the practice of learning and teaching in laboratories and workshops.

Since the widespread suspension of face to face teaching due to the Covid-19 pandemics, practical engineering education has received a renewed interest due to the difficulty in pivoting this type of learning into a remote format. The sudden disruption of normal practical teaching has engendered innovative practical teaching methods that deserves to be shared with the engineering education community.

We are still in the planning stages, so specific details are yet to be decided. The conference will be held in the Diamond Building in Sheffield, UK on 16 and 17 September 2021.

We are also asking for potential attendees, sponsors and exhibitors to register their interest here to receive news and updates as planning progresses.

Practical Engineering Education 21 is kindly supported by our official conference sponsors, TecQuipment, Armfield and GUNT.
