SYNOPSIS

Safety engineering is a critical discipline that ensures the prevention of accidents, hazards, and failures in various industries. However, teaching safety engineering poses significant challenges, as students and engineers often struggle to fully grasp its importance and application. This sharing explores the complexities of educating future professionals in safety engineering and the barriers to effective learning. It then highlights innovative and creative teaching methods designed to enhance engagement, comprehension, and practical application. By integrating interactive learning approaches, case studies, and problem-based learning, we can better equip students and engineers with the knowledge and skills needed for a safer future.
