I’ve never visited Belfast. Now, engineering has brought me to Belfast. The past couple of days, I’ve been part of the 2024 symposium of the Engineering Education Research Network (EERN) for the UK and Ireland—and I got a glimpse of this lovely city.

It is always a pleasure to work on the @ewbuk Engineering For People Design Challenge and every year I am amazed at the teamwork and solutions that our @AstonEPS students deliver. This year is no exception and you can see their AquaHusk idea at crowdsolve.net/challenge/EfP…

Question for the educators: What do you do to get yourself (or your colleagues) through large quantities of marking?
(I write this as I sit in a unicorn onesie in the hope that this will make marking more enjoyable).

It was such a pleasure to talk with @AstonPress about my research & being part of @STEMAZING1. I can't thank the @IMechE enough for supporting my place on the Inspiration Academy, I'm failing to find the words to express how great my experience has been and how much I have grown.

Day 1 for our EWB Challenge students - The students have just met their groups and Dr Sarah Junaid has set them off thinking about user centered design! What would you design? What would be a good solution for this situation?

And our students have risen to the task wonderfully! Now we take them back a step using What. How. Why. to explore the questions we need to ask as engineers before we dive into solution generation.
