Attracting students to study engineering, and helping society understand what engineers do, are ongoing challenges within engineering education. In this episode we spoke to Mariana Velho, Communication, Education and Outreach Manager for CERN openlab.

Feedback is a somewhat perennial topic within higher education (HE), with increasing emphasis on students as independent learners who should engage as active participants to fulfil the role of a self-regulated learner.

There continues to be a growing focus on the need for engineering students to develop transversal skills. There are a number of barriers which can stifle efforts in teaching such skills and approaches increasingly focus on developing engineering educators’ ability to integrate a diverse set of skills with technical knowledge.
