Teaching & Outreach Officer Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering

Walter has more than 30 years service at Strathclyde working first as a technician and then in more recent years as an Experimental Officer.

Walter’s two main areas of responsibility are as a technician in the Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering, and as an Experimental Officer in the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering's undergraduate labs.

Walter’s attitude, abilities, and delivery to students and staff has always been exemplary, and he is widely known and respected across the University community.

Walter is very highly regarded by the students he works with, and students often seek his help with concepts, theories or technologies.

Walter also makes a significant contribution to the outreach activities and is a key member of the very successful Space School team which delivers engineering and science experience to school leavers.

Walter has also developed and engaged with many of Space Academy students over the years and the Department believes that his efforts have directly contributed to many of them choosing to study engineering.
