Nowadays, the engineering concepts can be taught using various software platforms, but the importance of experiments and practical learning should not be discounted. The main aim of this study is to emphasise the vital role of laboratories in the engineering education. For this purpose, different laboratories in the High Voltage Institute of the University of Tehran are explained. The industrial laboratories...
Universities require a fast and reliable system to provide academic advising to its students, register them into different courses, and to manage change requests. Currently in Bangladesh, academic advising is done mostly on paper, as seen in many of the public and private universities. In this paper, we propose a unique online-based system that would make the university course advising and registration...
The paper describes the planning, design and structure of a new module in Asset Management to be delivered from January 2015 at a major UK university. The module, termed a `Unit', is an option for final year MEng students as part of their Engineering Council's Accredited Higher Education Programme. The authors plan to follow up with a `lessons learned' paper in 2015.
Education has been ever progressing since its foundation and guiding its progress is the most intricate part, for which various models have been developed. Reviews of such models are elucidated in detail of this context. An ideal education system should be modelled to unleash a student's potential & natural caliber. This can be achieved by a gradual transformation towards intuitive learning. Talent...
Curtin's Chemical Engineering Department has been offering distance education/online courses providing alternative educational opportunities and pathways to those who cannot physically attend university for traditional classroom activities. In particular, this mode of education is a most sought-after approach by industrial personnel, wherein non-chemical engineers can appreciate the basic unit operations...
Companies that agree in participating in a project course as paying client usually expect to receive software that can be used actually. However these kind of courses are only able to produce prototypes, so that the client has to make certain modifications to the software in order to reach its production readiness. In this paper we introduce a new approach which provides clients with the knowledge...
Over the past two years, second-year Java and software engineering courses have been taught at the University of Virginia and North Carolina State University utilizing the Android OS platform. Instructors taught a variety of traditional second-year topics, including abstraction, design, requirements, and testing, utilizing a variety of Android-based mobile devices. Anecdotal responses from student...
The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that approximately 175,100 software engineering jobs will be created between 2008 and 2018. In order to fill these positions, new computer scientists, who enjoy and are competent in the art of programming and software design, must be trained. Computer science departments must look for novel approaches to attract non-traditional students, i.e. women and minorities,...
Software engineering educators often struggle to strike a balance between making the project “real” so that students can learn in a realistic context and using an “imaginary” project tweaked to optimize learning goals of the module. This paper describes our observations when we tried to make an established software engineering project module more realistic by introducing to it a public release of...
A growing number of universities are offering curricula that are labeled as Services Sciences and/or Services Engineering or that are actually oriented to Services Sciences. We here review their contents, by a specific taxonomy of competences, founded on a Delphi research. A key of Services Sciences and/or Services Engineering curricula is the overlap between a service oriented concept of IT and the...
The rapidly exploding aged 60 and over population is expected to comprise 22% of the general population by 2020 and is the same age group which has the greatest digital divide. The senior citizen population in New York is notably higher than the national average. The high tech world that surrounds the older adult population relies on smartphones to servers and being connected to the Internet. The...
Sustainability is becoming an important topic in IT - as contribution of IT to safeguard our future, and as evolving market segment. IT's high productivity in combination with short life cycles and, on the other hand, growing resource problems of our planet, lead to a necessity that software engineers take their share of responsibility for sustainability. Therefore, we need to include the concept...
Software Engineering is important for the students majored in computer science and technology. This curriculum is intended to provide students with an overall view over Software Engineering as an engineering discipline and with insight into the processes of software development. Creating software Engineering curriculum faces several challenges: (1) Software Engineering has wide coverage, but teaching...
The undergraduate degree of computer and cyber security has been offered at the School of Information Technology, Phetchaburi Rajabhat University, Thailand since 2005. Our program requires direct field experience when students are taking upper-level courses. This is not only to ensure that students are well prepared for their future jobs, but also to raise awareness of how important and mandatory...
At North Dakota State University, there are multiple sections of the CS1 and CS2 introductory computer science courses. A large number of students are enrolled in each section, making it difficult to hold laboratory sessions as there is not enough space for all of the students in one room. This results in diminished student attendance and a decrease in student understanding of the course material...
The North Carolina's first Master of Science in Software Engineering program was introduced at East C The North Carolina's first Master of Science in Software Engineering program was introduced at East Carolina University in spring 2008. In this paper we report on our progress in terms of successful student recruitment and retention and also course delivery methods in both face-to-face and online...
This report presents the experience in the design and delivery of a modern mobile application programming course in an Information Technology program offered by a Canadian college. Due to the popularity of smartphones and the increasing demand for mobile application professionals, universities and colleges are offering mobile computing courses. However, there are few publicly-available coursewares...
Nowadays, many universities include Personal Software Process (PSP) into their software engineering curriculum. However, delivering PSP course in tertiary education environment always faces at least two challenges. Firstly, in a typical PSP course in education environment, one teacher may teach much more students than a typical PSP class in industry, hence it is extremely difficult to provide evaluation...
