Shaping a Field: The Evolution of Engineering Education in South Africa (feat. Prof. Jenni Case)

In this episode, we are joined by Prof. Jenni Case, whose work has played a foundational role in shaping Engineering Education Research in South Africa. From her early experiences in academic development at UCT to her leadership in establishing initiatives such as CREE and SASEE, Jenni reflects on the evolution of the field and the complexities of teaching and learning in engineering. Drawing on her experiences in both South Africa and the United States, the conversation explores what it means to support educators in their practice, how context shapes educational approaches, and what kinds of futures engineering education should be preparing students for.Links:Prof. Jenni Case LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenni-case-b3a44438Prof. Jenni Case Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=USeqOt0AAAAJCentre for Research in Engineering Education (CREE): https://ebe.uct.ac.za/creeVirginia Tech Profile Page: https://enge.vt.edu/People/researchfaculty/jennicase.htmlSouth African Society for Engineering Education (SASEE): https://www.sasee.org.za/Southern Journal of Engineering Education (SJEE): https://journals.uct.ac.za/index.php/sjee
