Biography
Dr Garland is a Principle Academic and Lead for Innovation & Professional Accreditation in the department of Design & Engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology. His research areas include tribology, the environmental impacts of design selection and sustainable development in design education.
Dr Garland has carried out research works into the sustainable design of hydrocarbon refrigerants applied to the hermetic compressor. This research was funded by the EPSRC and investigated the tribological effects of refrigerant selection and subsequent environmental impacts.
He has investigated the disparity between the business and academic perspectives of sustainable development leading to new methods for embedding sustainability within the curriculum, developing experimental problem based learning practice for design engineers.
More recently he introduced the use of intelligent systems engineering into design engineering projects through novel integration of edge-computing vision systems with PLC controlled processes... This experience provides students with the confidence to use AI systems in their own final year projects and into industry.
As the professional accreditation lead, he is responsible for profiling undergraduate and post-graduate taught programmes and constituent units to meet the Engineering Council AHEP4 specification and broader University objectives such as: the UNSD Goals and, promoting the importance and benefits of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Dr Garland is an active member of the Institute of Engineering Designers where he is a member of the EPDE scientific review committee and accreditation panels for programme approval, often as chair, and working with other Engineering Institutions.
Dr Garland is an active BSI committee member of TPR/1/3, TPR/1/6 and TPR/1/8 for technical product realization. Here he works with industrial and academic colleagues to develop and revise British and International standards such as BS8888 (Engineering Drawing Practice) as well as training strategy and learning outcomes.
