I'm happy to share that I recently attended a 5-day Faculty Development Programme on "Future-Proofing Engineering Education: Emerging Trends and Technologies" organized by Vins Christian College of Engineering from July 23-27, 2024. The virtual programme offered valuable insights into the latest advancements in engineering education, and I'm excited to integrate these learnings into my teaching and research. #FacultyDevelopment #EngineeringEducation #EmergingTrends #LifelongLearning"

Check out these top 5 engineering colleges in the USA that are leading the way in innovation and excellence! 🛠️ ✨ MIT - Known for groundbreaking research and a strong focus on technology.

The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology (EBIT), Prof Wynand Steyn, believes that while technology is the catalyst for change, humans are the sustaining force. This means that we need to develop new mindsets and find new ways of working while consciously making an effort to understand the human being in its totality. If we want to make a difference in our communities and the world, we need to create and discover new knowledge. We can't work and live in silos. We need each other to innovate our tomorrow. The various careers the Faculty of EBIT offers are for everyone and therefore we want to be a part of your world so that you understand how much we have in common. You need our specialists in technology, our engineers, and our built environment professionals as much as we need your talents to build a better and more sustainable world. www.up.ac.za/ebit #innovation #arts #technology #IT #study #education #builtenvironment #humanbeing #difference #communities #change #knowledge #EBITrocks #UniversityOfPretoria

Today I presented my first paper at #ASEEannual. This paper is based on the initial work for my #KEEN Engineering Unleashed Fellowship and the I²lab this year!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded the Faculty of Engineering Career Advancement Award! This recognition fuels my passion and dedication to continuing my research in academia. Excited for the journey ahead and grateful for the support from my colleagues and mentors. #Research #Academia #CareerAdvancement #Engineering#Computer Science

TIME TO RETHINK PROFESSIONAL TRAINING A thought: Many universities and colleges are adding new departments (and majors and schools); however, maybe we should consider eliminating (possibly all) undergraduate departments and majors to create truly transdisciplinary leaders for the future where the goal of education is not silos but wholism. Subtraction could be the concept we need (see my colleague Leidy Klotz's book Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less for more on how deleting things can lead us to exciting new places). An editorial we wrote a few years ago makes this point: Traditional programs don't provide the diversity of learning experiences that develop the kind of engineers society and employers actually need. GIVE STUDENTS THE GIFT OF A LIBERAL EDUCATION, AND THEY CAN DETERMINE THEIR PATHS FOR THEMSELVES.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded $1.2M to #TEESresearch for a project led by Dr. Garth V. Crosby, aiming to prepare middle and high school teachers to excel in teaching engineering concepts. This initiative addresses the vital need for skilled engineering educators in secondary classrooms. Upon graduation, students will be qualified STEM professionals who are well-equipped to teach students who represent the full spectrum of talent for the next generation of engineers.
