This paper presents the findings of an investigation of the effect of motion technology in relation to academic performance, focusing on the improvement of a student's ability to study. Twenty two samples, that is, students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University Teknologi MARA (UiTM) participated in this investigation. The students' Electroencephalography signals (EEG) were recorded...
This paper highlights the importance of using student data to drive improvement in education planning. It then presents techniques of how to obtain knowledge from databases such as large arrays of student data from academic Institution databases. Further, it describes the development of a tool that will enable faculty members to identify, predict and classify students based on academic performance...
The Centre in Computer Engineering Studies at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has developed and built the Intel 8051 Trainer and Application Board that is used by the students at the faculty as a learning tool. This microcontroller is taught in the Microprocessor System course and is available in the Software Application Laboratory. This paper presents the major...
An enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is the backbone in an e-business framework and is a process-oriented business management paradigm. An implementation of an ERP system can achieve “real-time” and “integration”. The staffs with manipulation skills of an ERP system are thus demanded for enterprises. E-learning are increasingly widespread by using information and telecommunication technologies...
This paper presents the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method in the Process Control Laboratory for the flow control plant. This laboratory is designed for final year system engineering undergraduates. The flow control plant can be operated either using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) or Distributed Control System (DCS). DCS was used as a group work task for this laboratory...
Curriculum design has traditionally been done within single institutions and at the course level, in terms of deciding what to cover and the order of coverage. Increasing student mobility between institutions creates a challenge in determining what background knowledge they bring to a course and in personalising recommendations about how they can efficiently acquire sufficient background knowledge...
The bilingual teaching practice of Mechanical Engineering Measurements course (MEM) for third grade undergraduates of Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) is introduced in this paper. Three types of bilingual textbook selections are compared, and the self-compiled unified bilingual textbook is the most appropriate choice for both students and teachers. Some important aspects of teaching mode, like...
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to welcome all participants to the 2015 IEEE 7th International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEED 2015).
In a class focused on practical programming, it is not uncommon to find a large difference in student ability levels. When such a gap in proficiency exists, students with a high level of understanding tend to find the class too simple and as a result their motivation decreases. Up until this point, we have been responding to students who have a lower level of understanding by providing them with supplementary...
Faculty of Chemical Engineering (FKK) has been implementing Integrated Project (IP) as one of the element in teaching. It is a defined short project formally introduced to combine assignments given by respective lecturers from 3–4 selected courses, mimicking the final year Chemical Engineering Capstone project but students are asked to present the findings in groups. By looking into the results of...
This paper presents a study on self-learning website development through online internet knowledge among engineering students. The objective of this study is to analyze how capable and experience students' skills on self-learning with online internet knowledge to develop their own website. Students are exposed to technology and online communication in today's learning environment which has motivated...
In the field of nuclear engineering, national colleges have been carrying out important roles with about 10 % of graduates obtaining jobs in nuclear related companies. Although national colleges do not have special courses and classes for nuclear engineering, we have been trying to educate our students in cooperation with universities and industries through the activities of the Japan Nuclear Human...
Engineers often need to make sense of mathematical structures in differential equations to deal with real life problems. However, students showed difficulties in grasping them. This study presents the teaching of mathematical structures in differential equations using a computer algebra system. The computer algebra systems played the role as a pedagogical tool to enhance teaching mathematical structures...
Project-based learning (PBL) has been shown to be an effective tool in engineering education. Thus, in this paper a framework for integrating PBL into the curriculum to enable the delivery and the assessment of the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by three generic program outcomes required for accreditation of engineering programs in countries that signatories to the Washington...
Design thinking is a popular method to make an innovation. It is a methodology of thinking as a human-centered experience. Japanese enterprises have a tendency to set a high value on students' innovative skills. This paper is an introduction to example of design thinking of Kanazawa Technical College (KTC) engineering education. KTC has several programs in its curriculum and extra-curriculum. “Design...
