Active exploration of models, contexts and tools used in project-based learning will help you to develop cognitive and collaboration skills applicable to any project-based context. Lecturing and Presenting in Engineering ENG-629 Informed by contemporary research on teaching engineering, participants design and deliver lessons for specific audiences. This course is relevant for teaching assistants and those who intend to make teaching science or engineering part of their career, in a formal or informal way. Science and Engineering Teaching and Learning - FALL ENG-624(a) This course develops teaching skills through the introduction of research-informed approaches and the opportunity to practice strategies appropriate for higher education science and technology contexts (exercises, labs, projects and traditional courses).
