Advance HE’s Annual Teaching and Learning Conference 2019,Teaching in the spotlight: Innovation for teaching excellence.

Description

ST2.5b: A liberal undergraduate civil engineer: Read all about it!
Dr Mike Murray, University of Strathclyde
Oral presentation (20 minutes), Room 227, 13:20-14:20
This session provides evidence from a portfolio of constructivist aligned pedagogy that
promoted a “reading for a degree” culture with undergraduate Civil Engineering students
(2009-2019) at a university in Scotland. Engineers are said not to be “booky people” and this
case study will address the disciplinary epistemic issues that may contribute to this
stereotype. This session reflects upon the extent to which the various learning objectives
were met, and the usefulness of the results in regards to disseminating the practice adopted
across the disciplines in higher education.
