This paper presents a literature review on the use of a large array of data about students and courses that was collected by institutions and learning analytics to improve students success and retention. Academic analytics is getting notable attention, because it assists educational institutions in improving student achievement and success, increasing student retention, and reduce the load of liability...
The recent nationwide audit of graduate programmes offered at public universities by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) has, in a way, opened up a can of wriggly worms! Albeit the admittedly onerous process of gathering and compiling the evidence in preparation for the audit, a substantial number of issues, either previously overlooked or unforeseen, has been ascertained. One of these in UTHM...
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...
The biggest driver for today's education is to match assessment to learning. School District (SD) leaders support efforts to hold schools accountable and are working to promote greater congruence between what's tested and what kids need to learn, if they are to thrive in the future. In order to promote important life skills like creativity, problem solving, and communications, one needs to have a...
Necessity is the mother of invention. Scientists and engineers contribute a lot in developing new technologies and making various innovations. Engineering students need to be guided by subject experts possessing good teaching skills. There are more than 3,495 engineering colleges in the country, with total intake capacity of 17.6 lakh students but as many as 4,521 faculty positions are lying vacant...
In spite of establishment of many private and state universities in India, the demand for university education in the last 20 years is far greater than the supply. There has been unsatisfied supply of university education in India since the 1990/91 academic year when over 60% of candidates demanding for university education failed to secure admissions. The Government of India has approved guidelines...
This paper studies two master -level project courses in two universities that use design thinking processes and problem-based learning as the main educational approach in the courses in question. One of the courses has been under development since 1969 and another one was launched during 2012. Both are interdisciplinary and multicultural by nature and have an ill-defined and open-ended real-life problem...
E-learning is commonplace within many educational institutions often providing a generic learning environment with uniform learning provision. Students have different learning styles, skills and needs which dictate the way in which they learn. Current adaptive educational systems fail to fully address this issue where practical aspects of a discipline are taught e.g. engineering education. Therefore...
The purpose of this paper is to examine whether university background significantly influences employers' views in selecting a new engineer in Malaysia industries. This paper briefly presents the employers' preference for university of engineering graduates. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 301 employers of Malaysian industries and the respondents were restricted to personnel at the higher...
The main idea behind this project is to provide a unified platform which will cover a complete process for embedded systems learning. A modular approach is considered for skills practice through supporting individualization in learning. This platform shall facilitate a novel development of universal approach in creative learning environment and knowledge management that encourage use of ICT. New learning...
The paper presents an overview of student mobility trends for European programs. It is shown that mobility is a crucial component of curricula for engineering education. The study focus is on the features of international mobility between EU Universities and Russian Universities. The CS/BMSTU and FCT/UNL case study is envisaged.
The paper describes the development of an interactive video focusing on groundwater flow phenomena in embankment dams. Using digital video, html and javascript an interactive web application has been developed to provide a learning tool for soil mechanics students. The web application is able to indicate further references through social networks in order to stimulate interest and promote deeper learning...
The technical impact on future engineering education has two main reasons. One factor is the growth rate of technical knowledge in depth and width and the second reason is the wide range of options of knowledge transfer using computer techniques. Besides, there are also many other reasons, e.g. the efficiency of knowledge transfer, greater consideration of individual learning and teaching styles,...
Developing in modern Russia, engineering education is aimed on mastering specific competencies and self-development of future engineers with reflection taking a special place. Technological approach to the reflection development of future engineers can motivate students for professional work in the process of education, helps students to evaluate future professional activities, leads to self-development,...
State formations buildout is not an ongoing process. One of the most important theoretical constructions was created by Gumilyov, and that is the Passionarity Ethnogeny Theory. What is the correlation of the engineering activities behavior and the socio-political formations buildout? What factors are responsible for the motivation of getting an engineering education? It is possible that the development...
IGIP has been the sole provider of an internationally renowned and acknowledged curriculum for engineering education and pedagogy over the past 40 years. More than 2000 engineering educators and technical teachers at different institutional levels in many countries have successfully received their pedagogical and didactic training through this curriculum Today new legal requirements and IGIP's awareness-raising...
The design of learner-centered guided in-service program for technical teacher education has been launched at Estonian Centre for Engineering Pedagogy at Tallinn University of Technology. The aim of the designed program has been facilitating the initial in-service teaching experience, involving mentoring, peer support and cognitive apprenticeship. The emphasis has been on teaching for knowledge application,...
This paper describes results of priority governmental support to the leading technology universities in Russia, which form a network of 29 National Research Universities (NRU). Results of activities of these universities provide a system influence onto innovative development of engineering and technology education through forming of new educational standards and academic programs; through development...
In this paper some directions of innovation activity in the system of engineering education are analyzed. The scheme of innovative engineering education is suggested which takes into account different technologies and directions of specialist training. Unless additional measures for protection of interests of the national education are taken, Russia's accession to the WTO can have more negative than...
