Biography

“Education is the act or process of generating or acquiring information and processing that information—i.e., learning—to generate experience and gain direction on how to apply this experience to solve problems. Experience, also referred to as processed information, encompasses knowledge, understanding, and skills.” – Dr. Moshood Olawale Fadeyi.”

Dr. Moshood Olawale Fadeyi is an Associate Professor at the Singapore Institute of Technology, specialising in Indoor Air Quality and Sustainable Building Engineering Communication Practice. He is an architect, a Chartered Engineer (UK), and a Chartered Construction Manager (UK), with over 200 publications, including peer-reviewed research and peer-level public scholarship. He is a pioneering scholar in the use of communication practice to advance engineering education through mental model development, question generation, cognitive transformation, and understanding for practical problem-solving.

As a teaching- and learning-focused professor, his scholarly work is grounded in the principles of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), with the aim of improving how complex engineering concepts are taught, learnt, and applied in practice. His overarching aim is to enhance learners’ cognitive abilities so that they can engage deeply with challenging engineering content and apply their experience effectively in real-world contexts. Since 2018, he has dedicated his research and practice to exploring innovative communication strategies that enhance cognitive engagement and support value-oriented problem-solving in the context of Indoor Air Quality and Sustainable Building Engineering.

Dr. Fadeyi uses research to guide his teaching and teaching to inform his research. His work transforms how people think, learn, and solve problems in the real world. Through communication practice in engineering education, he bridges the cognitive gap between knowing and doing, equipping individuals to create value, drive innovation, and advance human capability.

His research develops innovative and interdisciplinary communication solutions that make complex engineering topics accessible to diverse learners. His communication solutions invite readers into active mental engagement, where understanding is constructed through attention, reflection, and curiosity (See https://indooraircartoon.com/). His peer-level research outputs reflect deeply grounded forms of SoTL, benefiting academia, industry, and the wider community across more than 100 countries. He has also mentored learners and professionals, contributing to real-world problem-solving capabilities. 

He holds a multifaceted academic background in architecture (BSc, M.Arch), building science (MSc), and engineering (PhD), with degrees from Obafemi Awolowo University (Nigeria), the National University of Singapore, and the Technical University of Denmark. He is a member of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (UK), the Chartered Institute of Building (UK), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers. He is also a former National Taekwondo Champion in Singapore, reflecting his commitment to excellence across disciplines..
