Introduction

I am currently lecturing in Technological University Dublin (City Campus). My role involves delivering lectures to undergraduate and postgraduate students using advanced teaching techniques to inspire and motivate them for higher level qualifications and then employment.  The experience I gained working in industry offers a wide knowledge base and I actively try to bring this into the classes by discussing how a particular topic might operate in the real world. Taking this approach has sparked some really good discussions and getting a conversation going regarding what students are learning and how this relates to experiences in industry. My experience with programming and development has enabled me to demonstrate the practical implementation of real world problems in lab sessions to aid their understanding on the course theory. The experience I have gained lecturing in NCI and DIT has developed my skills in creating new content to ensure students can learn technical subjects in a structured manner.
