Yi Fan Xie

Yifan Xie is a graduate researcher with a transdisciplinary research topic that bridges engineering and education.  He has recently obtained his second master’s degree at the Institute of Education at University College London, and he obtained his first master’s degree at the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences at King’s College London. His major emphasis has been exploring the influence of transferable abilities, such as active learning and problem-based learning, on engineering education and learning experiences.

With a background in both engineering and education, in his PhD, under the supervision of Dr Andrew Valentine, Dr Shannon Rios, and Professor Sally Male, Yifan will explore the transition of Chinese engineering students in this country from academia into the local professional engineering workplace, and to advance our thinking about how to introduce a greater practical orientation to engineering education.
