On 23rd October, the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) teaching team at Queen Mary University of London has been named the winner of the 2025 Education Excellence Award, recognising their outstanding contribution to teaching and learning within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS).

Led by Dr Tijana Timotijevic, Dr Kamyar Mehran, Dr Shady Gadoue, Mr Kok Ho Huen and the EEE Education Delivery Group, the team has been praised for transforming the EEE degree programmes through innovative curriculum design, hands-on learning, and a strong focus on student experience.

Their work has not only raised the profile and quality of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary but has also created a vibrant learning environment where students thrive academically and professionally.

The award panel commended the EEE teaching delivery team; which includes academics, lab technicians, and professional services colleagues, for their commitment to high-quality, inclusive, and future-focused education. Their collaborative approach ensures that students gain the skills, confidence, and curiosity to tackle real-world engineering challenges.

Dr Mehran said the recognition reflects "a shared commitment to teaching excellence and student success across the whole team," adding that "it's a privilege to work with colleagues who care deeply about delivering the best possible experience for our students."

This award is a proud moment for EECS and a testament to the team's creativity, dedication, and lasting impact on engineering education at Queen Mary, the UK and globally!
