14th June, 2021

In this webinar, we reflect on a year of moving labs online. What worked, what didn’t work, and what have we learned that will be of use in the next academic year and beyond? We were joined by panel members Dr. Adam Funnell & Dr. Andrew Garrard (Multidisciplinary Engineering Education, University of Sheffield) and Dr. Peter Kennedy & Barry Brophy (College of Engineering & Architecture, UCD).
