Group design and build - Biomedical Engineers make it happen

Group work skills are an essential element of engineering education, and one of the key differentiators between engineering and science degrees. No doubt, a good science degree program will include learning these skills, after all they enhance employability, but for engineers working in teams to solve problems is core. Learning and practicing group work skills an essential part of engineering education. Networking with students, industry representatives and staff For third year MEng Biomedical Engineering students, the pitch presentation is the culmination of a year of hard work who have worked on a g roup design and build module. The module is designed to give the students an opportunity to practice and perfect team working skills and it brings together students from all four of the Biomedical Engineering specialisms into teams. Each team was assigned the task of building a PCR machine within a budget of £250 and a time constraint of two semesters. The project is a great example of ...

Ten Tips for Blended Practicals

Practical Engineering Education activities, that usually involve interaction with equipment, presented a significant challenge to adapt for remote delivery during the suspension of face to face teaching. The department of Multidisciplinary Engineering Education (MEE) have led the discussion about Remote Practicals in the Learning and Teaching community, publishing papers and being invited to present at numerous, high profile webinars. With restrictions on higher education being partially lifted, many institutions worldwide intend to offer blended learning , prioritising in-person activities that are troublesome to deliver online, such as practicals. Social distancing measures are reducing capacity and placing increased pressure on space, creating a need to optimise limited time students have in the lab and strategies to determine which activities can best utilise this limited resource. Time is constrained and solutions are needed to meet these demands. I’m delighted to present this p...

From Sheffield to India: Expanding Makerspace Partnerships and Engineering Education

During a recent visit to India, Dr Pete Mylon explored new partnerships with leading institutions, sharing insights on student-led makerspaces like the iForge in Sheffield and practical learning. In this blog, he reflects on his experience and the exciting opportunities ahead, and how international collaboration is key to advancing engineering education. Mumbai and IITs The first order of business was to meet Hemant Kanakia, Chair of Maker Bhavan Foundation (MBF), who fund and support makerspaces at Higher Education Institutes across India. We have been developing an idea for an international student competition that will capitalise on the makerspace facilities now available at many institutions and allow for an exchange of ideas between students from different contexts. Together, I travelled with Hemant to IIT Bombay . The IITs were established in the 1950s and 60s and are amongst some of the top institutions globally for Engineering. Sheffield has formed a strategic par...
