Welcome to the SU Faculty of Engineering REEP web environment
Welcome to the SU Faculty of Engineering REEP web environment
This website is designed for lecturers in the Stellenbosch University Faculty of Engineering. As part of our ongoing programme renewal ethic in alignment with the SU Vision 2040 strategy, engineering staff have designed, implemented and evaluated initiatives to improve our engineering student experience. These initiatives are guided by educational theories and principles, and often funded by capacity development grants. Over the years, we have consolidated multiple resources, such as key engineering education literature, as well as posters and videos showcasing staff initiatives. The website is divided into the different elements that constitute our engineering student learning experience, from the curriculum to the world of work. Each section has a brief overview, key principles and suggested literature, as well as a host of video and poster case studies from contributing staff.
Please feel free to explore the site.
We do hope these resources contribute to your and your students' professional learning journeys.
Our holistic approach to engineering education lies in the kinds of knowledge and associated practices shaped by the curriculum.
The principle of cumulative learning underpins the SU REEP case studies, effectively integrating techniques and technologies to enable students to connect theory to practice.
There are increasing calls for technologically-equipped graduates, ready to tackle the socio-technical challenges of our societies.
A key challenge in the engineering education context is the need for valid assessment processes that enable effective learning.
Our mandate as engineering educators is the holistic support of our students, which takes into account their journey into, through and beyond Higher Education.
An Engineering qualification is intended to enable a graduate to meaningfully, confidently and professionally participate in society.
Engineering Education Research has emerged as a field in its own right, drawing on scholarly educational theory and empirical, practice-based principles.
Engineering Education has seen significant growth over the past decade. There are several useful organisations, networks and resource sites.
