As well as the gift of the end of Autumn semester, and time to reflect on the successes and challenges in teaching and learning, there are many other joys at this time of year. The CEE blog offers you the top five reads from 2025 to accompany you by the fireside and heat the cognitive for the future.
Number 1: Ten Tips for Blended Practicals
An oldie but goldie from the pandemic era by Professor Andrew Garrard. It’s a repository for a publication and as relevant now as it was then.
Number 2: Do We Actually Teach Practical Skills?
Another classic by Professor Andrew Garrard, this time (!) about a practical skill we can all benefit from- time management.
Number 3: Education Through the Eyes of Our Learners: Reflections from the Sheffield Education Conference 2025
The annual University of Sheffield Education conference is always an interesting and fun event that brings together people from across the whole institution. This is great, it turns out there is more to education than just engineering (What?! I know!). In this post Dr Michael Trikic stepped out into the big wide HE world.
Number 4: Behind the Blog: My Internship with the Centre for Engineering Education
The CEE blog was powered and levelled up by the wonderful and talented story teller and digital innovator Marysa Ali. In this post Marsya tells us about the work she undertook for the CEE blog.
Number 5: Critical Thinking, GenAI, and Engineering Education:
Reflections from IEEE EDUCON 2025 Conference
Kenndy Offor presented his educational work at the IEEE’s influential EDUCON 2025 and shared some of the highlights with academic flair.
It’s been a good year, we raise a glass to it and you, and
look forward to sharing the best in engineering education from Sheffield with
you next year. If you want to be involved and share your work here, get in
contact, we’d love to hear from you.
