ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Theory without practice? Not at University College London, where engineering exchanges, flipped classrooms and co-learning are changing the way engineering students, teachers and community partners interact.

Abel Nyamapfene is a Principal Teaching Fellow at the Department of Engineering Science, University College London.
