Rate My Professor Kerri Bland

Bland's teaching responsibilities include STEN5001 Civil Engineering Materials, STEN2004 Structural Mechanics, and CVEN4004 Civil and Construction Engineering Research Project 2. Her lectures address structural actions and steel design topics such as member restraints, wind actions, fatigue design, plate girders, and portal frame analysis. Her academic interests extend to engineering education innovation and student performance. Key publications include co-authorship of 'Innovative Industry Engaged Project-Based Learning for Civil Engineering Design' (2014, Proceedings of the 26th AAEE Conference) with Natalie Lloyd, which details industry-integrated project transformations in civil engineering curricula, and 'Civil Engineering Student Performance Observation During COVID-19 Pandemic Period' (2022, ASEAN Journal of Engineering Education, Vol. 6, No. 1) with Yeong Huei Lee and others, examining online learning impacts. She contributes to capstone project rubric refinement and inter-university benchmarking. Bland participates in Curtin University's Assessment 2030 Future Fund grant projects on AI integration and graduate upskilling in engineering. She also engages students via the Curtin Civil Engineering Association, presenting on new degree specialisations.
