In industry, the benefit of maturity models is uncontested, and models like CMMI are normally taught in at least advanced Software Engineering courses. However, when not being part of real-world projects, the added values are difficult to be experienced on first hand by our students. In this paper we report on a study and teaching approach where, in three successive semesters and at two different...
Based on the research of campus planning theory of metropolitan university, this paper studies the intrinsic relationship between the process of urbanization and the development of metropolitan university, the way of urbanization to influence the university campus, the extent to which the evolution of the university campus, in turn, the promotion of urbanization. With reference to the experience of...
Problem Based Learning approach (PBL) is an instructive constructivist method which promotes, as its main feature, the use of real life problems to initiate and motivate the comprehension of new concepts, stimulating the abilities and actions that are needed for the solutions of such problems. PBL is strongly fundamented in well defined principles. Thus, it is fundamentally important that teachers...
This paper presents a methodology to identify the students' gamification profiles for educational projects. Gamification is the application of game elements and game principles in non-game contexts. We propose a process to identify profiles in gamification through the use of ludic activities and gamification driven questionnaires. The choice of activities follows some information of the target audience,...
There are two main project management (PM) approaches: heavy-weight approaches like waterfall or V-model and light-weight approaches, mainly like agile. Recently, the mix and variation of both, so-called ‘hybrid’ approaches become more and more important, opening a new field of research questions. The article represents a brief overview of the state of art in the field of hybrid approaches, in order...
All organizations, both public and private should set goals or objectives at different organizational levels. So higher education institutions should not be the exception. A holistic evaluation approach can be useful for analyzing whether the pursued strategic or tactical objectives are achieved regarding different information needs at operational level. While teachers may aim at facilitating the...
Enterprise architecture aims to reach synchronization between information technology and business for the need of an organization. To develop the information system, a university really needs a plan to achieve the university strategies and goals. To build a plan by defining the architectural data first, applying the applications and technology to support the whole business process becomes an integrated...
As a blended teaching strategy, the flipped classroom model has shifted the teaching task from traditional knowledge instruction to ability enrichment. Based on the main future of it, this report illustrates advantages of the flipped classroom and gives suggestions, including establishing the instruction structure and designing every process, of the model implement. Finally, a conclusion is given...
To secure their bright future students will compete to enter quality university. Conversely, favorite universities will work hard to get quality students. To keep the favorite status universities will do every effort to maintain their qualities in educating their students. This study aimed to develop a statistical model for education supply chain management and identify most important factors and...
Many technical and vocational universities are established with an aim of matching up with national and industrial development so as to cultivate senior talents economic in professional technology application. Thus, human resources and qualities of graduates from higher technical and vocational education system exert considerable influences on national economic, industrial and commercial development...
Preparing for crisis and incidents have gained an increased focus, also within the educational system. At The Inland University of Applied Sciences, Campus Rena, in Norway, a Bachelor study is developed to cater for the increased need for educating staff not only in municipalities, but also in private organizations. Regulations and governmental instructions have also created a void between staff that...
School planning is the main role of local education administrations, and is related to providing fairness in education. This paper uses GIS technology to analyze the distribution of rural primary schools in a mountainous county of China. Analyzing population, school distribution, relevant education resource databases, and combined altitude map, allowed us to calculate the spatial accessibility of...
To solve the professional challenges they will face upon graduation, mechanical engineering (ME) graduates must be able to ask the right questions, think critically, and communicate their ideas effectively. Traditionally, the ME curriculum has relied on design courses, especially capstone design, to achieve these objectives. This brief paper will describe a new approach developed within a small public...
This project is inserted in the research and practice areas that support the development of educational resources, such as, serious games and training simulation, to understand how they should be planned, developed, evaluated, validated and used for the learning and assessment purposes. In this study, we have proposed and specified an agile, integrative and open method for educational resources development,...
New times demand new teaching and learning methodologies. A partial flipped classroom methodology was tested in a modelling and feedback control course for undergraduate biomedical engineering. A semester course was divided in two parts: the first half using a flipped approach and the second one using a classical approach. The experience results are reported, presenting the methodology ups and downs...
The paper deals with the definition of urban mobility, assuming that inside the city, the flow of mobility is deeply connected with the distribution, quality and use of the urban activities that “polarize” different users (residents, commuters, tourists and city users). In this vision, ICT assume a strategic role, but the need to reconsider their role emerges in respect to the concept of a smart city...
This work presents the planning, development and implementation of the SocioAVA digital educational material — Social Interactions in Virtual Learning Environments. This material is aimed at professionals working in Distance Education (DE) who are interested in discussing social interactions in the virtual. The objective is to discuss social interactions as an important factor to be included in pedagogical...
the purpose of this article is to systematize the concepts of innovative infrastructure and infrastructure architecture using methods of system analysis, to consider the basic models of innovation infrastructure management and their application, taking into account the features of the innovation infrastructure, to develop a frame model for managing innovation infrastructure based on the methods of...
Local culture is important historical stories which the local development is based upon. Multicultural stories are an important accumulation of life and the core of settlement development. During the Japanese occupation period, the important cultural asset “Alishan Forest Railway” was built in “Zhuqi”, the area of this study which affected the development of the entire Chiayi City. This study starts...
Teaching the usage of Project Management (PM) tools is an important part of Software Engineering education. In this context, instructors often adopt some professional PM tool, such as MS-Project, GanttProject or dotProject. However, as such tools lack instructional features, some studies propose the adoption of educational PM tools. Yet, even these tools may be insufficient, due to their limited content...
