This article describes an attempt to check whether gamification is applicable to different courses in higher education and what are the results of such application. An experiment (involving over 100 students of computer science at Lublin University of Technology) implementing some of the gamification techniques into two different courses - software engineering and service-oriented architecture - was...
In different forms of educational learning, student engagement was very important. Many research papers had focused on one teaching method to increase learning and the lecturer tasks were not grouped. This paper presents a framework, Integrated Student-Lecturer Engagement Design Framework (ISLEDF) that uses many in and outside classroom student engagement activities and teaching techniques to promote...
One of the major challenges facing the growth of South Africa, the largest economy in Africa and a member of the five major emerging national economies (BRICS) of the world, is unemployment. While there are other factors influencing unemployment, high dropout rates in universities are seen as a definite contributor to this challenge. Reflection and reflective practices have been extensively researched...
This article outlines an aim, a position and a need of engineering pedagogy tuition in university field of study technical profession subject tuition. Engineering pedagogy in practice and research realization in the Slovak Republic and in the Czech Republic. At the same time we try to show the place in international company for engineering pedagogy. Further benefit deals with common research and production...
Present existing education system and teaching methods are not completely ideal. They are suffering from many problems. This paper mainly concentrates on one of the issues regarding decrease in number of graduated students who choose teaching as their profession. Mainly concentrating on the reasons why students are not willing to enter this profession and its relevance to existing education system...
Engineers design new products, increase productivity, and thereby increase the standard of living worldwide. Although the common wisdom is that large corporations invest the most money in new product R&D, the surprising fact is that most discontinuous innovations come from small firms, and most engineers in the US are employed by entrepreneurial firms as well. In spite of the centrality of entrepreneurial...
This article presents the Ibero-American Open-Surg project, that attempts to develop several medical robotic applications, based on open source software. This project expects that the developed software tools can be extensively used on teaching techniques about medical procedures in Ibero-America. Objectives and advances of this project are presented in this document.
Teaching techniques and contents at institutes of higher learning must be a dynamic and seamless experience. While new concepts and technologies do not find their way into textbooks long after the research is matured and/or commercialized, Professors at Universities are in unique position to bring them into classroom much earlier benefiting from their sponsored research. This is why perhaps high ranked...
Clinical teaching in the emergency department (ED) is different from that in other ambulatory settings and requires unique strategies to ensure success. In addition, achieving consistent teaching success requires a proactive, reflective approach; it does not just happen on its own. Good teachers recognize this and have adapted principles, behaviors, and techniques from other settings to their practice...
This special session is organized to provide a highly interactive forum for a spirited exchange of varied ideas and teaching techniques between presenters and audience. Six presenters have been invited in advance by the session chairs with each presenter limited to 5 minutes and 3 slides followed by 3 minutes of discussion with the audience. Members of the audience are encouraged to bring a 1 paragraph...
We often assume that debugging is a skill that comes with common sense. However, we have observed that many students do not have an inherent aptitude for debugging. Hands-on projects teaching the engineering design process can become troublesome for some students who cannot complete their projects and consequently fail their courses. In this paper, we advocate the importance of teaching debugging...
Increasing classroom interactions between instructor and students and among students has been found to be an effective way of helping student learning. In this paper, we discuss three techniques that have been employed in circuits classes to promote student discussions and instructor-student interactions. These techniques are embedded group lab sessions, open-discussion quizzes, and student presentation...
