In this talk, we are joined by two of Coventry University's Engineering faculty.  Dr. Zubairi is an academic who practices research-informed teaching and learning and is passionate about aerospace engineering. Dr. Zubairi graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in MEng Aerospace Engineering in 2010. He went on to do a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the same university. Upon completion of his PhD, he worked as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership Associate. He joined Coventry University in 2015, where he is currently the Course Director of Aerospace Technology. Dr. Zubairi’s PhD researched entailed detailed comprehension of the engineering product design process, both traditional and novel, including development of a product from conceptualisation to manufacture and delivery. He is an expert in Computer-Aided Design, in particular in the Next Generation CAD systems and integration. At Coventry University, he manages a team of around 25 staff members who are involved in the planning and delivery of the modules on his course. He has experience of implementing innovative approaches to teaching and supporting students through the use of a wide range of learning resources and appropriate pedagogic practices. On an international level, he delivers guest lectures at Emirates Aviation University in Dubai.
