Led by Professor John Mitchell, UCL
Hosted by Middlesex University’s Dr Homeira Shayesteh, Pedagogic Research Group Lead for the Faculty of Science and Technology with support from the Centre for Academic Practice Enhancement (CAPE).
Aim:
This session will consider the importance of pedagogic research, and in particularly how it relates to the support of large-scale educational change in STEM and Engineering disciplines. The session will outline the need for educational research as both a means to inform curriculum development, but also as an enabler of innovation in the classroom and as a support for teaching staff. It will cover platforms for publication and give some examples of best practices in this area.

This year’s EAN Access and Admissions Forum brings together leaders, policymakers, and higher education specialists to examine one of the sector’s most urgent challenges, the financial sustainability of engineering education. With demand for skilled engineers growing and universities under increasing financial strain, this event explores how institutions can balance mission and money in an access and admissions context, while adapting to shifting policy, funding, and recruitment landscapes.
This event is designed for university leaders, faculty, admissions professionals, and policymakers. Whether you are managing recruitment pressures, planning for the LLE, or seeking strategies to safeguard engineering provision, you will leave with fresh perspectives and actionable ideas.
On National Engineering Day, this event offers a timely opportunity to engage with peers and thought leaders on the future of engineering education. Through keynote insights, panel debates, workshops, and networking, attendees will leave better equipped to navigate financial pressures while ensuring engineering continues to play its vital role in the UK’s future.
There will be a meeting of the RA committee taking place Wednesday 17th September at 1pm.
