Smith Engineering at Queen's has been a leader in engineering education innovations for several decades. They include the Integrated Learning initiatives, development of the team project-based design and professional practice experiences in first year and second year, multidisciplinary industry-based design courses, faculty-wide development of a design sequence in every year, and outcomes-based assessment.
In Smith Engineering at Queen's, we have a full-service Engineering Teaching and Learning Team (ETLT) composed of several specialists (see full team complement here). The ETLT is available to support instructors with online, face-to-face, and blended teaching. Drop into the lab on the main floor of Dupuis Hall in room G25 (8:30 am-4:30 pm), call 613-533-6000 ext. 74871, email etlt@queensu.ca during regular business hours. Whether you’re looking for help with a quick question, considering reworking your course design or wanting to learn more about a teaching and learning topic, the ETLT is here to help!
In addition to working with instructors 1:1, the ETLT offers a number of recommended tips and resources for effective teaching.
Faculty and educators at Queen's University engage in engineering education research to advance the knowledge base of engineering education and to enhance the teaching and learning environment for students. Take a look at our research projects, publications and grad program, and the activities of the DuPont Chair in Engineering Education Research and Development.
