Experiential Learning in Engineering Education

“Steele’s excellent examination of pedagogical theories and learning approaches provides the grounding to help understand the ‘how’ of learning and teaching modes of experiential learning and the ‘why’ of its importance in supporting student development of critical and creative thinking, and the capacity for life-long learning. The inclusion of diverse examples, applications and case studies allows us as readers to re-imagine our own classroom practice, and to help students make connections between different forms of knowledge.” - Dorothy Missingham, The University of Adelaide “Alan Steele provides a thorough treatment of experiential learning in engineering education, covering all the key concepts and approaches, while also offering lots of references in support of them. Combining everything in one text makes for an invaluable resource for any engineering educator, and it’s all the better that Steele incorporates ideas and case studies from around the globe.” - Sean Maw, University of Saskatchewan
