An expert will present on the area of retention in the early years of Engineering programmes. They will discuss how peer learning can enhance students‚ third level education and ultimately prepare students for the social and technical complexities of engineering practice.
There will be an opportunity for educators to discuss the implementation and evaluation of novel learning techniques

At the end of this session the participants shall be able to;
- Formulate recommended implementation strategies
- Execute strategies
