Biography

I have been lecturing full-time since January 2008 in Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology. Prior to that I had 11 years experience as a professional site engineer and surveyor on a huge variety of construction projects.

In my time as a freelance engineer, I gained considerable experience of how construction projects work, and I ensure that this real-world experience has an impact on how I present my lectures.

A philosophy of teaching that I like is called "social constructionism", whereby the students learn by taking part in a collaborative experience. My hope is that the graduates should be as prepared for employment and further self-learning as possible, and the key to this is to be able to present "how it really works on the job" in addition to a theoretical grounding.
