Interactions between industry and academia are seen as one of the key elements of the quality of higher education and a key element of the system of innovation of the nations. However, there is a widely noted gap between industry needs and the education that new engineers receive. This manuscript presents an open co-working space implemented by the Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia equipped with...
This study aims to address how change agents assist engineering instructors in adopting new curriculum. During a two-day workshop, 16 mechanics of materials instructors from community colleges and universities around the Pacific Northwest developed hands-on activities and models that they later implemented in their classrooms. Five additional instructors became interested in the materials developed...
In the scope of the article, there is the presentation of the cyber-higher educational environment feasible by the technical innovations appearing rapidly and the investigation of the methods which can be applied successfully in the educational scene of the future. My goal was to create an educational scene suiting to the digital life of the CE generation students-called Z generation and alpha generation...
A composite evaluation scheme is proposed for evaluation of students' composite abilities including self-learning, teamwork cooperation, manipulation, oral presentation ability, summing up, analysis, report writing, and innovation ability. In this scheme, final mark for each students consists of four parts, including "in-class performance" mark, "after-class performance" mark,...
As complex social issues cross national borders, engineers who can collaborate with people from different cultural background and disciplines are in demand to create innovative solutions. Japanese government is emphasizing cultivating global human resources through higher educational institutions to contribute to the global community with innovative solutions. Therefore, Kanazawa Technical College...
The article presents solutions of two ESF projects carried out at the University of Žilina and the implementation of their conclusions addressed to new approaches in engineering education. The goal of first project was the innovation of education through implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the development of multimedia educational resources. The project result is...
The purpose of this proposed mini-workshop is to connect our research in conceptual change [Collaborative research: Getting Engineers to Talk Across Disciplines, EEC 1129447] to instructional practice. Our research suggests that one potential indicator of students' conceptual understanding across several engineering disciplines is their use (or misuse) of language. During this mini-workshop participants...
The field of engineering education has initiated a focus on ensuring engineering education research is disseminated and implemented within the classroom. Numerous researchers have investigated the reasons for the adoption of evidence-based practices, or, more often, the lack thereof. The Professional and Organizational Development (POD) network community is an underutilized potential ally for ensuring...
Proper structuring of course scheme in curriculum contributes to better learning. The courses mapped to the fundamental graduate attributes may be placed at the early level of the curriculum. However, courses which mapped well with designing and applying attributes are posing a challenge as far as the attainment of Program Objectives is concerned. An exercise is made to measure the impact of bringing...
Course outcome assessment is a pre-requisite for any programme to assess the performance of the student during the programme of study. Corrective actions are planned accordingly for the achievement of the same. The paper discusses the methodology for the assessment of course outcome of an individual student against pre-defined target. The assessment and analysis also provide the path to mobilize the...
Post Graduate course viz. Management course inculcates the attributes that are to be assessed for every student. These attributes include ability to investigate, Ability to network and resourceful, independent and critical thinkers, subject specialist, confident, excellent communication skills, collaborator, adaptable etc. are the area of concern. The presence of necessary management attributes guarantees...
This Modernization of technology requires training of personnel with new competencies and establishment of centers for innovation in education, research, and technologies within the framework of higher education system. According to that tendency Project activity direction was created in the system of Elite Engineering Education in Tomsk Polytechnic University. The key features of the organization...
The Polytechnic School of the Universidad Europea de Madrid (UEM) started during 2012/2013 its “Project Based Engineering School” (PBES). This consists on the application of the Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology in all its degrees. The students developed in each academic year a comprehensive project covering partially the content of several courses; different teachers were involved in each...
This workshop is meant for all lecturers and researchers of the conference, to experience the benefits of improvisation for themselves or for their students. In educating the inventors of our future, it is important to address creativity as a condition for innovation in Engineering courses of study. Part of the creative potential lies in the ability of divergent thinking. This looking for not yet...
The annual ASEE/IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference is now in its 44th year. From its earliest days, FIE has aimed to enhance engineering education through the latest advances in learning theory, pedagogy, and technology. We have also engaged in periodic reflection and self-examination to assess how well we have met the challenges of keeping up with advances in other fields and incorporating technological...
Virtual Labs (VLAB) is a multi-institutional Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative, exclusively focused on lab experiments for engineering education. This project envisages building a large OER repository, containing over 1650 virtual experiments mapped to the engineering curriculum. The introduction of VLAB is a paradigm shift in an educational system that is slow to change. Treating VLAB OER...
An engineer can be an entrepreneur. The engineer has all the technical knowledge to build and design. The purpose of this study is to analyse the influence of Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Intelligence on Innovation. A total of 88 successful entrepreneurs from Malaysia participated in this study. The GENOS Emotional Intelligence questionnaire and Spiritual Intelligence (Integrated Spiritual...
The purpose of this study is to clarify the differences of educational objectives between national technical colleges and national institutes of technology. This was achieved by using the text mining method. We collected text data from the educational objectives of all technical colleges and all institutes of technology websites. Words that appeared most frequently in the text data were listed for...
This study is proposed to calculate the impact of various teaching methodologies in engineering education. 369 students of Computer Science & Engineering stream of Poornima Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jaipur, were surveyed for the conduction of this very research. The objective of this research is to know about student's perceptions of best and effective teaching methodologies and...
