The Teaching and Learning Programme in Engineering is a multimedia resource developed for teachers of Engineering. It builds on existing successful practice and includes:

• exploration of new ideas in the teaching and learning of engineering
• example lesson plans and activities for learners
• case studies
• feedback from teachers, trainers and learners.

The resources focus particularly on active learning approaches that have been found to work successfully in the teaching of engineering.

Could you become a Subject Learning Coach in Engineering?

Subject Learning Coaches are teachers who have received training in coaching in general and with specific reference to Engineering. They have a special set of skills to bring to their organisations.

Subject Learning Coaches can be used in a variety of ways: as coaches, as agents of change and as champions of innovative approaches to professional development. This can be within their Engineering subject area or more widely in their establishments.
