Engineering Subject Centre Departmental Contacts

Departmental Contacts enable the Centre to communicate with departments more effectively

The Engineering Subject Centre has an established network of Departmental Contacts across the UK higher education engineering community (whereby an individual volunteers or is nominated by his/her department as the Departmental Contact). Contacts are strongly encouraged to develop their role according to their local environment and to their personal aspirations.

The role of an Engineering Subject Centre Departmental Contact is summarised as:

to receive communications (E-Bulletin, translate) from the Centre, and subsequently to filter and disseminate this information to their departmental colleagues.
to promote the resources and support available from the Centre for the benefit of the professional development of departmental colleagues - by access to a wider academic community that is supported by a UK-wide information network, including access to funding for initiatives in learning and teaching.
to be the point of contact for the Centre to a department; this could include invitations to Centre staff so that they might visit the department and meet with teaching staff, attend and present at departmental meetings on current and future issues in learning and teaching, and address issues and enquiries raised by teaching colleagues on matters of concern to them.
to facilitate the hosting of events (whether for their department, regionally, or nationally) that are organised and resourced by the Centre, where an event may be a seminar, a workshop or a forum for the discussion and dissemination of experiences, best practice, or resources in learning and teaching.

You can either contact the Engineering Subject Centre to find out who is your Departmental Contact or check out our online List of Engineering Subject Centre Departmental Contacts.
