Liebenberg talks "mini-project magic" on podcast

MechSE Associate Teaching Professor Leon Liebenberg was recently featured on the podcast "Teach Talk Listen Learn" from the campus' Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL), where he talked about the needs and attitudes of students at Illinois, and how his passions for engineering education are translating into highly motivated, self-regulated, creative, imaginative, pragmatic graduates.  

In this episode of the CITL Podcast Teach Talk Listen Learn, Liebenberg explains his interest in self-regulated, student-driven courses and how he explored this approach while teaching in South Africa and Switzerland before arriving in Illinois. “The one thing that I believe about higher education is that we really have this huge responsibility to give our students the opportunity to learn techniques and strategies to deal with accelerating change, with increasing complexity, and with the inevitable change we are all dealing with.”
