Dr Jasper Graham-Jones

Format and Dynamics
My lessons are designed to be dynamic and interactive, moving beyond simple lectures to ensure you gain practical, job-ready skills. We combine formal instruction with active learning strategies
Active Learning: Expect engaging case studies, group work, and student-led research initiatives that put theory into practice
Hands-on Experience: We integrate project-based learning and hands-on activities, like failure analysis research and manufacturing projects, to make complex engineering concepts understandable and relatable
Technology Integration: I incorporate various technologies, including online resources and digital tools, to provide a comprehensive and modern learning experience
Content and Subjects
The content of our lessons focuses on bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world industrial application. Key subject areas include:
Fabrication and Welding
Materials Manufacturing, Design, and Project Management
Advanced manufacturing techniques (polymer additive manufacturing, composites, welding, adhesive bonding)
Physical metallurgy and production engineering
Material properties, selection, failure analysis, and testing
Marine composites and sustainable manufacturing
We utilise real-world examples and datasets from industry projects, ensuring the curriculum remains relevant to current industry trends and needs
