CEE is relevant to teaching-active staff and those who lead, influence and support the delivery of education.

Our goals:

  • External impact: To raise the reputation and profile of Engineering Education at Sheffield - this will involve creating open educational scholarship outputs such as peer reviewed papers and conference presentations
