About E3R
Dr. Cecilia K Y Chan, from the University of Hong Kong is the Founding Chairperson of the Engineering Education Enhancement and Research (E3R) Asia Network. She is also the Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE). It is hoped that acting as a platform, the E3R will be conducive in facilitating innovative research and best practice in engineering education by enabling interaction among a community of engineering education researchers, teachers and practitioners, enhancing their awareness of good teaching practices and of the learning experience of engineering students.
Aims & Missions
- To promote excellence in teaching and learning, research and practice of engineering education
