Project Aim/Objectives:
The Masterclasses are a collaboration between SA and UK universities to deliver a suite of opportunities for engineering educators to improve their theoretical and pedagogical knowledge. The eight two-day workshops were presented in a highly interactive mode that focussed on ensuring engagement by all participants.
Each Masterclass could only accommodate 25 participants and each one was significantly over-subscribed. As to provide broader access to these workshops, we have made all the resources available on this site. In the videos, the facilitators encapsulate the essence of each session and participants provide insights into activities.
The Masterclasses were funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) of South Africa, the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Newton Fund, through an application made to the DHET’s Engineering Education Existing Staff Capacity Enhancement Programme (EEESCEP).
