Te a c h I t t o L e a r n I t : The Power of Peer Teaching in Engineering Classrooms

Abstract

Teach It to Learn It: The Power of Peer Teaching in Engineering Classrooms explores how peer teaching enhances learning outcomes and professional skills in engineering education. By shifting students into teaching roles, courses like Process Simulation and Thermodynamics become active, collaborative environments that foster deeper understanding, communication, and leadership. Drawing from real applications at UMS, the article highlights the cognitive and social benefits of peer-led instruction while addressing common challenges and best practices. This approach not only supports academic mastery but also prepares students for the interpersonal demands of engineering practice. A must-read for educators embracing active learning strategies.
