摘要：Research is the foundation of modern higher education and the motivation behind the majority of work done by university faculty. Research results are a major metric used to rank universities worldwide. It is a major contributor to University reputation. There is a growing trend to focus on research, with little time left for educational improvements and little or no synergy between the two. Bridging the gap between research and education can enhance student experience by exposing them to applications which require fundamental knowledge. Currently at the undergraduate level, there are limited pedagogical tools employed to address this opportunity. Case methods can create synergy between research and education. Engineering cases sourced from postgraduate research are a teaching tool that can be used to help undergraduate students understand and appreciate the complexity of engineering research and gain insight into fundamental concepts. In this paper, a case-based framework to integrate academic research and teaching is explored. Detailed descriptions of the case method approach, case development, and the viability and reproducibility of these strategies are presented.
