Our main goal in this study was to resolve the difficulty of facilitating problem-solving-learning in schools, where all facilitators carry out the effective facilitation of Problem/Project Based Learning (PBL) that satisfies a certain quality. This paper discusses a "Project/Problem Based Learning Body of Knowledge (PBLBOK)" that was developed to enable facilitation suitable for learning...
In this study we analyzed the curricula of 65 university students to investigate the impact of activities progression on student performances. Clustering curricula based on activity order and type we discovered a significant incidence on performance, validating the predictive power of curricula. Nevertheless, we discovered that the characterization of clusters is mainly due to non mandatory activities,...
Mobile technology has become a staple in our society. It plays a crucial and profound role inassisting learners (despite their level and age) in their leaning process using various apparatus and mobile devices (laptop, tablets …). This paper presents a new learning framework based on tablets. This solution has been developed and tested in Esprit "Ecole Supérieure Privée d'Igénieurie et de Technologies",...
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...
Students were requested to complete a survey form with relation to the attainment of learning outcomes via the coursework activities at the end of a core undergraduate civil engineering technology course, i.e. Soil Mechanics and Foundations. The tasks involved topical Assignments, Lab Work and a Project. These group endeavours were carried out by students in the same group formations throughout the...
The current issue of the Journal of Latin-American Learning Technologies (IEEE-RITA: Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologías del Aprendizaje) comprises a selection of papers from the IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference – EDUCON 2014. Authors of the papers with the highest reviewers’ evaluations were selected and invited to submit an extended version of their work.
Speech-based test is a one of the best ways to train students' level of proficiency. However, in e-learning it is difficult for students to maintain their concentration when speaking to a monitor. We propose speech-based online test system employing a human-likely embodied graphical agent as a listener. The developed system consists of three modules, user recognition, agent's non-verbal behavior realization,...
This paper first provides an overview of the pedagogical role of formative assessment in the undergraduate engineering classroom. In the last decade, technology-facilitated implementation of the collection and analysis of student responses has reduced the clerical burden on educators, making the practice more widespread. We discuss some of the reasons why this practice may not have yet reached its...
The global objective of the paper is to introduce a new Statistical Process Control (SPC) education technology using an interactive control chart simulator. The basis is the contemporary experience in teaching at universities and in training for the practice and from there resulting observation, that especially the regular students often lack practical knowledge about the production process while...
This paper presents technology-mediated strategies and a technical infrastructure design for supporting self-regulated learning in open responsive learning environments which are individually compiled by the learners themselves. A self-regulated learning process model has been defined to connect the self-regulated learning approach with concrete learning activities performed to create and use own...
Recently, a new age of information has appeared where information and communication technology plays a major role in education and learning society. Consequently, modern learning settings represented by emerging learning strategies have been used in higher education. A primary goal for higher education is to support students and lifelong learners to be independent, self-motivated, and self-regulated...
Engineering educators are becoming more and more involved in both funded and unfunded projects to improve the learning of their students. The goal of this workshop is to prepare engineering faculty members to work with an evaluator to plan and implement an effective evaluation of an educational development project. In pursuit of this goal, the workshop intends to increase the participants' awareness...
This study evaluated metacognitive changes of three groups of engineering students working on a design project. Those three groups are electrical-computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science students. Two metacognitive features, cognitive self-appraisal and cognitive self-management were used to indicate students' metacognitive level. The Engineering Design Project Inventory...
This paper presents an efficient and objective procedure for the outcome-based assessment of engineering final year projects (FYP). The procedure, consisting of 6 steps, can easily be customized for different engineering curricula. A User Guide has been developed to help institutions create their own FYP assessment system. The guide includes the assessment procedure and aids for its implementation...
RFID technology was used in this system presented by the paper to open up a new mode of management. The system integrated teaching management, equipment management, materials management, personnel management, and other information effectively to achieve real-time collection of various basis data so as to conduct statistics for dynamic statements, real-time queries, tracking and analysis. New mode...
This short paper describes an innovative project-based learning experience for software engineering education and training. A global software development project is currently underway to unite students from across the globe, with widely different backgrounds and learning objectives, in distinct project roles that are designed to leverage skill sets and foster overall quality and success. The background...
