Integrating engineering education - Abel Nyamapfene

Theory without practice? Not at University College London, where engineering exchanges, flipped classrooms and co-learning are changing the way engineering students, teachers and community partners interact. Abel Nyamapfene explains how real-world projects, with community and industry partners from the UK to Ethiopia, are creating graduates who are ready to help the world, cognisant of its startling complexity. Abel Nyamapfene is a Principal Teaching Fellow at the Department of Engineering Science, University College London.
