The SEFI PhD Summer School is designed to support early-career academics in Engineering Education Research as they develop their scholarly identities and strategies for impactful careers. With a focus on creativity, integration, and transformation, the program explores how research can meaningfully connect to teaching, interdisciplinary collaboration, and wider academic life.
The PhD Summer School is an initiative of the SEFI Special Interest Group in Engineering Education Research, with support from the SEFI SIG in Capacity Building, and the SEFI SIG in Curriculum Development.
