Abstract :
The paper sets out a collaborative approach for teaching technology subjects. It illustrates the benefits of this approach over the single academic owning a particular subject. The paper presents preliminary findings from interviews with academics in a newly combined Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology. It concludes by pointing the way to the future of this funded research project.
