DoctorCiaran Moore

I teach materials science, electronics, and embedded systems to computer-, electrical-, and mechatronics-engineers. My teaching philosophy is informed by social constructivism: I believe that learning stems from lived experience, and that reflecting on and sharing our experiences greatly accelerates learning. As a result, I make extensive use of team-based projects and laboratories in my teaching, and have developed novel online assessments and remote laboratories. I view learning as a reciprocal process and aim to co-create knowledge with my students, empowering them to become effective engineers and lifelong learners.

Official recognition of the efficacy of my teaching includes nomination for a UC College of Engineering Emerging Teacher Award and winning a Victoria University of Wellington Early Career Teaching Award, as well as selection to UC's Distributed Leadership in Teaching Programme.
