Teaching Innovation

The School of Engineering and Architecture and its members are actively involved in a wide range of initiatives aimed at innovation and improved teaching. The ultimate goal is to ensure continuous improvement of all activities taking place inside and outside the classroom, in order to achieve better, more in-depth learning by students.
