Current engineer faces a significant challenge to fulfill a nation need's in line with the pace of technological advancement and socio-technological changes. To effectively contribute once they enter the industry and to meet employers' expectation, engineering graduates must be competent in theoretical knowledge, research-oriented engineering an application-oriented engineering. This paper presents...
Engineering educators have struggled with engaging students throughout their studies. Traditional coursework provides little opportunity for holistic integration, personal connection, and professional relevance. We have integrated high-impact practices within our required curriculum. One element is a new, required, one-credit seminar for students beginning their engineering coursework. The seminar...
Within the last years the demand for intercultural awareness and intercultural competences among the working force in engineering grows significantly. Even if engineers more than other professions have always been working in international settings, the situations of international collaboration in engineering work increased. Moreover, strategy papers on European and national levels endorse the rising...
Engineering classes are operating today in the same format as they were fifty years back. The difference in the past decade has been the emergence of the Internet and its rapid usage right outside the walls of the class. Harvard University and MIT's path-breaking collaboration in initiating Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) has raised the global standard and reach of education today. The race is...
Pressure from industry, professional bodies and students for a reform to the curriculum and delivery style of engineering education has been mounting for a number of years. Although there have been many excellent individual initiatives, developments that span a whole school or faculty, encompassing a number of disciplines and departments are far rarer. This paper describes a curriculum development...
The department has adopted a holistic student-centered approach to support attributes of the Engineer of 2020. Among these include a culture that embraces intellectual diversity, better team skills, improved problem solving skills, and better complex thinking skills. Strategies incorporating classroom inversion, active learning, and team projects have demonstrated remarkable gains in retention, intellectual...
Innovation is critical to our economic and social prosperity. We rely on industry, university, and government employees to develop, modify, and implement innovative ideas while navigating ambiguous problem contexts, overcoming setbacks, and persisting in competition with courses of action. Research has shown that self-efficacy, or an individual's belief in their ability, influences the pursuit of...
Over the past several years we have collaborated with a variety of industrial partners to carry out applied research and capstone design projects in cooperation with our students. Although the projects have varied widely, more often than not, success or failure lies within the students' ability to see beyond the technical challenges into the subtleties of the business and the meaning of value. Looking...
