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...

Bridging two worlds: how design-based research can connect engineering problem-solving with educational research

As engineers and scientists venturing into educational research, many face a familiar challenge: how do we apply our systematic, problem-solving mindset to the complex, human-centered world of education? If you've ever felt caught between the quantitative precision of engineering and the qualitative nuances of educational research, you're not alone. Here, Edmund Padget shares his experience bring disciplinary thinking together. I studied physics for my first degree, but when I started teaching, and reflecting on how to do it better, the engagement with educational research often made me feel alienated in my approach to problem-solving, rather than inspired to do educational research myself. It seemed to me (rightly or wrongly!) that most papers fell into one of these two categories: What looked like very complex philosophy/sociology papers - I did enjoy the complexity of them and the theoretical development, but it felt like solving a sudoku when the house was on fire. What l...

Engineering and Teaching Shorts: Keeping CPD Bite-Sized and Impactful

In Higher Education time is always in short supply, so finding space for meaningful professional development can be a challenge. That’s where Engineering and Teaching Shorts (EATS) comes in: a bite-sized, informal Continuing Professional Development (CPD) series that makes space for reflection, inspiration, and conversation, all over a buffet lunch. Led by Michael Wright, Faculty Education Advisor for Engineering, EATS offers a practical and engaging route into continuous learning for both academic and professional services staff. “It’s very much not a one-size-fits-all message,” Michael explains. “You’re not being told to do X or Y.” Instead, sessions are built around shared stories and practical examples designed to spark new ideas in day-to-day teaching. What is EATS? A format that sticks EATS is a CPD initiative established in the early 2010s by Professor Stephen Beck , Director of the Centre for Engineering Education here at the University of Sheffield. It was created to en...
