Dear Margaret,
I am interested in the work you have been doing - but not
from an engineering perspective and hence with distance
from Manchester will not expect, anticipate or even desire
to attend your event. However I would like any information
you share about the way pbl was approached and developed to
get it going - the issues are common in trying to open up
the opportunities within HE and any other examples always
help I think.
Best wishes in your endeavours
Jim
