Description

"A conference to explore the learning that happens when students get hands-on in workshops and laboratories.
Engineering is rife with theoretical concepts, but let's be honest: all engineering boils down to making things work in the real world. Yet, too often, the spark of curiosity ignited in theoretical lectures gets dimmed by the cold reality of static equations. That's where "practical engineering education" comes in – the thrilling playground where theory dances with reality.
Join us at the Diamond (Home of Practical Engineering Education) at the University of Sheffield for the Practical Engineering Education Conference 2024, where the dusty confines of textbooks give way to the buzz of laboratories and the clang of workshops. Here, we celebrate the messy magic of teaching that lets students experiment, invent, and build.
Share your innovative pedagogy! Do your sessions crackle with the energy of build-and-test challenges or the methodical hum of laboratory experiments? Have you revolutionised how students grasp abstract concepts through tinkering and creation? We want to hear from you!
This conference is not just a showcase; it's a catalyst for a revolution in engineering education. Join us to:
Spark fresh ideas: Ignite new approaches to practical teaching and inspire others.
Connect with a vibrant community: Share your passion for hands-on learning with like-minded peers.
Shape the future: Contribute to building a curriculum that ignites lifelong passion for real-world engineering.
So, come, let's turn theory into tangible triumphs, together, the Diamond at Sheffield awaits – where your engineering ideas take flight!"
