F51 Introduction to Engineering & STEM Education ResearchInfo Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionEngineering and STEM education are undergoing rapid transformation, driven by technological change, evolving graduate expectations and new approaches to curriculum design. Alongside this, there is growing recognition that educational innovation benefits from rigorous research. This one-day course provides a structured introduction to engineering and STEM education research for early-career academics, doctoral researchers and teaching-focused staff seeking to engage in scholarly inquiry.
The course introduces the foundations of discipline-based education research (DBER) and the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), clarifying what counts as robust research in STEM contexts. Drawing on published studies emerging from the UCL Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) and the facilitators’ editorial and research experience, participants explore how curriculum development, assessment (re)design and classroom innovation can generate publishable research questions at module, programme or institutional level.

More InformationParticipants examine how to frame meaningful research questions, select appropriate theoretical or conceptual frameworks, conduct a literature review, reflect on their positionality, design and implement a methodology. Ethical considerations specific to Engineering and STEM education are also addressed, alongside trends currently shaping the discipline.
Through mini presentations and interactive workshops, attendees refine a draft research idea, receive peer feedback and begin mapping a coherent research trajectory. Guidance is also provided on publication and dissemination pathways.
By the end of the day, participants will have a clearer understanding of the field, an actionable research question and a practical next-step plan for developing a research project in engineering or STEM education. Recently Added | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
