The project team are measuring European and international impacts in the following areas:

Publications in the pedagogies and technologies that REEdI is championing. The volume of publications that the REEdI team have produced based on our innovative and agile REEdI model is a significant contribution to the field of engineering education. These publications include 2 Book Chapters*(internationally renowned publications in the relevant fields), 1 peer reviewed journal paper and 11 Conference papers presented at prestigious international education conferences.
