Andrew Bingham

Dr Andrew Bingham is the Dean of Teesside International Business School.

Andrew has had several positions within the University, including Principal Lecturer for Learning and Teaching and Associate Dean for Learning and Teaching in the School of Computing, Engineering, and Digital Technologies. During his time in these roles, his main objective was to utilise digital technology to help students achieve success in their studies.

Having worked in the digital industry for the past twenty-two years, from the emergence of the World Wide Web in 2000 to the onset of generative AI in 2023, Andrew has developed a deep passion for the transformative potential of AI and digital technology in a learning setting, the workplace as means to enhance productivity.

Andrew is leading the Generative AI Strategy Group and working on a number of pilot projects to review generative AI platforms for wider adoption across the University. 

Andrew looked into ways of enhancing student learning of Requirements Engineering in the Web Engineering field. He designed and built a Computer Aided Web Engineering (CAWE) tool – which is now used by students worldwide and has been updated recently to reflect App development for touch devices.

Andrew joined the Web Engineering Research group within the School of Computing and this is where a seed project was shaped into a PhD proposal. He delivered a number of conference papers as part of enhancing the intervention. The intervention developed from a paper based method to a more fully fledged framework supported by a dedicated learning environment.

He undertook three main cycles of research over seven years, firstly by reviewing the literature in the area of Requirements Engineering (RE) and Web Engineering (WE). As the framework focused on learning, he also looked at pedagogical learning theory centred on the computing discipline. In each cycle, a framework was designed, released to students for use in their learning, evaluated and modified before the release in the next cycle.

Andrew continues work within the Digital and GenAI subject areas. 

External Examiner – Brighton University – School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics [2014-2019].

Andrew has undertaken consultancy in the web engineering field and has recently completed a years project with a local company looking at integrating App Development into their workflow. New knowledge and experience gained feeds back into my teaching.

His most recent work centred on producing a hybrid mobile app and progressive web app (PWA).

Andrew is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and was conferred in 2017. His principle areas of interest include: active learning, problem based learning, technologies to support engaging pedagogy and collaborative learning.
