Communication skills are an integral part of the development of undergraduate students as emerging professionals in rapidly changing, multi-disciplinary engineering fields. However, many engineering educators and industry employers continue to express concerns about the quality of these skills in engineering graduates. Many universities and institutions have enhanced engineering education curriculum,...
Several studies have shown the use of digital games in education and their contributions to the teaching-learning process. However, many of these educational games do not have mechanisms to monitor the learner's performance and/or to reconfigure the game to new situations. This article aims to present a digital game environment for support teaching mathematics, integrated with a management tool that...
In recent years, monitoring of elections witnessed citizen participation in observing and reporting incidences through ubiquitous communication technologies to improve election integrity. Digitally enabled citizen observers complement long tradition of established observers to assess the quality of electoral contests. Using participatory rhombus conceptual model and its concept of invented and invited...
The goal of the study is to investigate the metacognitive reading strategies in L1 and L2 among gifted students in English language. The participants were 74 gifted students enrolled in a special program for gifted students in English language in A city participated in the study. In order to compare L1 and L2 metacognitive reading strategies, the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory...
The implementation of a low-cost electro pneumatic bank from an existing educational pneumatic equipment is exposed. The proposed bank operates with a PLC. To demonstrate its advantage, a stamping machine is simulated using Ladder and Grafcet language. This demonstration can simulate any machine or process requiring up to four electro pneumatic cylinders.
The authors present the development and laboratory system-level testing of an impact monitoring “Intelligent Mouthguard” intended to help with identification of potentially concussive head impacts and cumulative head impact dosage. The goal of Intelligent Mouthguard is to provide an indicator of potential concussion risk, and help caregiver identify athletes needing sideline concussion protocol testing...
With the growing popularity of the campus network, the information infrastructure has been improved, and the management of universities have entered the digital age. Experimental teaching management should also keep pace with the times and develop in the direction of digitalization, informatization and networking. Efficient, scientific and systematic network informationization management make the...
In an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of an audience response system (ARS), a mixed methods approach was developed using qualitative and quantitative questionnaire data together with direct measures such as exam and ARS performance scores. The results reveal that students' exam scores are higher for those students who answer ARS questions and that ARS performance scores are an indicator of how...
The Junior Code Academy is a pilot project that aims to generalize the teaching of programming and code in schools in Portugal, promoting digital literacy and developing skills of problem solving. The presented qualitative pilot study involves students from the 1st cycle of basic education in three schools of Lisbon Municipality, comprising partnership with Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and University...
The availability of low-cost sensors and environmental monitoring technologies is growing rapidly. While researchers are making use of these technologies and validating their results, there is also enormous potential for their use in education and outreach. Through the North Fork Valley (NFV) Project, we are bringing next-generation air quality monitors into the classroom and developing necessary...
This research work describes the development, implementation and use of graphical interfaces developed in LabView, as a pedagogical strategy for the student's knowledge and the analysis and control of systems with one degree of freedom subject to free vibration. This with the aim to improve the teaching-learning process a virtual laboratory is developed for the education of mechanical vibrations in...
At school, ICT become a constituent element of the teaching process and learning and teachers should provide to all students the same opportunities and conditions at the level of digital literacy, particularly through new and different approaches of content. In this sense, this research aimed to find out whether the Internet is safe for children in the primary school and the most suitable preventive...
Instead of employing traditional lecture-lab pedagogy to teach undergraduate instrumentation, an open-ended group design project based approach was used. In the approach, the project was assigned to the students in the first week of lectures and served as the foundation, motivation, and context for the entire course. Each group had a project mentor. Lectures and hands-on laboratories supported the...
In this paper, the system structure and Features of wireless sensor networks are introduced, visual Instrument and its advantages are introduced. A Wireless Sensing System Teaching Platform is constructed. It is a good platform and testing tools for sensor signals of real-time data acquisition, analysis, processing. This experiment platform can be used not only as a teaching experiment instrument,...
Substantiated by scientific studies, it appears that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have allowed the construction of a set of support tools that complement classroom teaching and enable its users greater interaction and ease in communication. This paper contains a reflection on the behavior of students in undergraduate Computer Engineering who attended Differential and Integral Calculus,...
The object of this article is to propose a contribution to the development of remote laboratories for carrying on online practical activities in computer science by using virtualization technologies. After an introduction to the general concept of online laboratories, a description of virtualization technologies is done to show how their use is possible in the implementation of an online laboratory...
