A/Prof Kate Wilson convenes and teaches Engineering Mechanics (ZEIT1503).

Kate is an Education Focussed academic, and a member of the 91色情片 Scientia Education academy. She has聽a PhD in physics from Monash University, and has done research in computational physics and condensed matter physics, but most of her research has been on student learning and experience. 聽

Her current research interests include聽student learning, pedagogy聽and curriculum development.聽聽

In particular:

聽聽聽聽聽 learning of physics concepts

聽聽聽聽聽 the transition from school to university

聽聽聽聽聽 student experience in higher education

聽聽聽聽聽 engineering ethics education

Kate is coauthor of an undergraduate physics textbook and four high school physics textbooks, and has also contributed to texts on chemistry and biology, and some of her content was adapted for National Geographic physics text in the US.

She is a past director of the Australian Science Olympiads Physics Program and聽member of the Sydney University Physics聽Education Research group, where she聽worked on the Workshop Tutorial Project.

Kate has worked on three discipline based ALTC/Carrick/CUTSD funded projects looking at physics education in Australian Universities. 聽聽

Senior Fellow, Higher Education Academy

I have supervised PhD projects on gender differences in linguistic choices in professional and popular science writing; gender differences in performance in physics assessment; challenges and supports for STEM students in Indonesia and supporting reflective practice for engineering students.

I am open to supervising research students in engineering education, in topics related to those above, or if you have an idea for a project you would like to work on in engineering education I would be happy to discuss it.聽 聽 聽 聽聽
