Rate My Professor Kay Horn

Kay Horn contributed to advancements in engineering education at UWA. She is gratefully acknowledged in the 2012 report 'Engineering Thresholds: an Approach to Curriculum Renewal Using Threshold Concepts' by Caroline Baillie and colleagues. The recognition thanks members of the UWA Engineering Science Working Party, Foundation Team, and Kay Horn specifically for their contributions to developing the threshold concepts inventory—a tool to identify troublesome knowledge in engineering curricula to enhance teaching practices. Furthermore, in the 2013 publication 'Building the Future: Science and Engineering at the University of Western Australia' by Nancy Longnecker and others, Kay Horn, alongside Joanne Castelli and additional colleagues, is credited with introducing science and engineering outreach programs to school students. These efforts promoted STEM engagement among younger audiences. Kay Horn maintains ties to the UWA community, appearing in St George's College alumni newsletters as Kay Horn (Rummery 1982), participating in events like the 40-year reunion.
