Visiting Teaching Fellows This industry into academia technology transfer scheme is based on the experience-led education concept and compliments the Visiting Professors initiative. It seeks to enrich the engineering curriculum and education experience by placing engineers in universities who are still very much hands-on practitioners and can relate and apply teaching material to the operational issues and real-life problems that graduate engineers may face when they first enter industry. Visiting Teaching Fellows like their Visiting Professor counterparts are excellent communicators and role models for the profession. Two tranches of Visiting Teaching Fellows have been appointed so far and there are plans for at least thirteen more. Details of the individual appointments can be found through the links: Each Visiting Teaching Fellow appointment runs for a period of two years. This particular initiative has proved to be extremely popular with universities and industry; one company, Shell, has generously funded its own version of the scheme to specialise in its core areas of technical expertise, whilst the Ove Arup Foundation has chosen to support Engineering Design
Application to the scheme is by invitation only. The next call for applications will be in September 2012. For more information contact: Dr Mark Bambury
