EPI•STEM Podcast: Episode 12 with Jason Power

In the EPI•STEM PODCAST Episode 12, co-hosts Geraldine Simmie PhD and Michelle Starr PhD welcome their special guest Associate Professor Jason Power, a Senior Lecturer in Engineering Education in the School of Education in the University of Limerick. Jason shares his passion for engineering and teaching engineering to student teachers who will become the next generation of STEM teachers. Jason’s research interest lies in the multidisciplinary spaces between engineering and the psychology of problem-solving and learning. His research excellence is in the area of theorising self-efficacy as a crucial psychological self-belief system in engineering education. This research specialism runs throughout Jason’s research publications, his highly successful competitive grant awards and in his research team of six PhD students. Jason has a wide number of research collaborators across faculties at the University of Limerick and internationally. Jason shares his understanding of the big ideas that matter most in engineering education and his understanding that many complex problems today will need for their solution newly imagined multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. The musical selection today is the Kilnamona Barn Dance from County Clare, played on fiddle by Dr. Avril McLoughlin. Avril is a Lecturer in Music Education in Mary Immaculate College in Limerick.
