Ten Years of The Diamond - Twelve Architects

The conception of Diamond Building was a huge project here at Sheffield Engineering that aimed to make a world leading space for Engineering teaching. It is the home of high quality teaching labs for all the engineering disciplines, as well as innovative teaching and study space. It is a wonderful space to be in and remains as popular as ever with students. The building led to the creation of a specialist multidisciplinary team to deliver and coordinate the teaching that takes place in it, and they continue to lead innovation in teaching and learning and are core contributors to the Centre for Engineering Education . This wouldn’t have been possible without the team who built the Diamond, Twelve Architects . They made the space both iconic and great for teaching, something that is often overlooked, but that has a huge impact on learning and learners. In this post Twelve Architects share their perspective of the project. This is part of our 10 years of the Diamond s...

Experimental Design for Practical Engineering Education

Introduction - Is working backwards a way forward? One of the main attributes of practical engineering education is students interacting with real things. When this teaching specifically involves experimentation in a laboratory setting, the real things typically include items such as equipment, tools, specimens and various types of instrumentation. There is a varying degree of openness for laboratory activities, ranging from students following detailed step-by-step guides, to them independently conceiving, designing and executing their own experiments. But in order to ensure consistency of experience for everyone in the course, the equipment and instrumentation students use is typically selected and provided by the university for one specific purpose. Despite equipment being at the very centre of practical laboratory activity, the pedagogy (or method of teaching) associated with its selection and design is often overlooked in the learning and teaching development process....

Reflections from SEFI 2025: Engineering Education, Innovation, and Finnish Inspiration

Another year, another annual SEFI conference, where world leaders in Engineering Education meet and share new develops and best practice. Dr Raja Toqeer was there at SEFI 2025 in Tampere, Finland, where he chaired key discussions on accreditation and policy, shared his latest work, and learned about Finland’s unique approach to engineering education. This September, I had the privilege of attending the SEFI 2025 Annual Conference at Tampere University , Finland, a gathering of global educators, policymakers, and innovators shaping the future of engineering education. The event was an extraordinary opportunity to share our research from the University of Sheffield , contribute to international discussions on accreditation and pedagogy, and experience Finland’s remarkable blend of technology and wellbeing-focused educational excellence . Chairing Conversations on Quality and Policy My conference began by chairing two key sessions: the Special Interest Group (SIG) on QualityAssuranc...
