If you're near Great Ayton tomorrow afternoon and with some time to kill, why not come and listen to Vox Choir North East? There might even be a solo from yours truly! facebook.com/events/s/summer…

Really enjoyed presenting our approach to teaching sustainability in engineering at @TeesUniSCEDT at #isee22! And great to hear what's happening at other institutions on the same topic.

Aldert Kamp's #isee22 keynote asking us to stop calling transferable skills "soft" - couldn't agree more!
Good morning Glasgow! Looking forward to two days of interesting discussion at the International Symposium of Engineering Education @StrathEng

Excellent article that illustrates how accessible education and training are key to industrial development. The article focuses on Tyneside but is equally valid for Teesside.
