Practical Engineering Education Conference PEE2026

About PEE26

All engineering is practical. Using a theoretical concept to solve a tutorial sheet problem invariably involves applying engineering science to real world applications. But when we talk about “practical engineering education” in this context, we mean the type of hands-on teaching that typically occurs in laboratories and workshops, where students conduct experiments and fabricate artefacts and are allowed to play. If your teaching involves laboratory experiment or build and test type sessions, and you have thought about the pedagogy associated with these activities, we would love to hear about your work.

Conference

All engineering is practical. Engineering is rife with theoretical concepts, but let's be honest: all engineering boils down to making things work in the real world. Yet, too often, the spark of curiosity ignited in theoretical lectures gets dimmed by the cold reality of static equations. That's where "practical engineering education" comes in – the thrilling playground where theory dances with reality.
