A group of software engineering educators, has embarked on a project to implement and support the creation and adaptation of a common set of teaching material and strategies for software engineering education at the undergraduate level of education. The outcome of this project is a framework, in the form of a repository of best practice software engineering teaching modules, assessment artifacts,...
In this paper, we look at a mini version of NTRU public key cryptosystem which uses binary polynomials. Mini-NTRU uses smaller parameter sets while maintaining the original structure of NTRU, with the sole purpose of enabling undergraduate and graduate students who have basic cryptography knowledge understand the basic principles of NTRU operation. Once these basic principles are grasped, they can...
This study was conducted to examine the effects of Problem Based Learning (PBL) on students' intrinsic motivation compared with that of a conventional approach, in a procedural-based and number-oriented subject. A quasi-experimental study was conducted for five weeks on 81 first-semester Diploma students, who were attending the subject of Fundamental Accounting (DPA1013). An experimental, pre-test...
This research aimed at finding out the effects of using mind mapping technique on academic achievement and cognitive load in Engineering Mathematics. Apart from that, the relationship between the cognitive load and academic achievement was also investigated. A total of 28 students were assigned into the experimental group (N=14) and control group (N=14). Academic achievement was measured using post...
A survey at five public universities in the Peninsular Malaysia has been conducted to get a clearer statistics of students' understanding of engineering ethics, technological advancement and safety. Ethical issues, sometimes rampant, occur in the public and private sectors as well as in the society, these have caused poverty in the long run and to some extent the environment. The survey has been conducted...
The theory of a principle could be further understood by performing practical analysis. Laboratory courses provide the practical application of the principle taught in lecture. Previously, laboratory courses were conducted through instruction style but with the evolving learning method, new learning method which emphasize on in-depth learning is introduced. This paper studies the effectiveness of...
This study investigates students' industrial training experience and explores the ways to possibly enhance students' training experience. The findings show that providing more related information to students will definitely help them in gaining better training experience.
With its interactive feature that infuses fun to motivate its users, games have been considered useful to engage the current batch of Generation Z students. With games based learning methods such as digital game based learning, serious games and more recently gamification. Yet, with the increasing tasks of teachers nowadays, the use of gamification; game elements in non-gaming context, has been gaining...
Semiconductor devices is a fundamental course for electronic engineering students at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA. Strong semiconductor knowledge helps students in understanding other electronic engineering subjects. The paper aims to analyse students' feedback on the implementation of blended learning in semiconductor devices. The objective of blended learning...
Malay traditional music is a Malaysian heritage that needs to be preserved to maintain the identity of Malaysia. However, these kinds of music especially caklempong traditional music is still unfamiliar among the younger generation. Traditional music has facing an issue since generation nowadays is preferred on popular music rather than these kinds of music. Therefore, this research was aimed to preserve...
We present the methodology applied at the Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia, Lima, Peru, to develop research skills in undergraduate students starting at their first semester. The methodology includes training students since the first year to research in advanced topics. This methodology has been applied since 2012 and now there are two students in a MS program in the USA but before finishing...
Smart boards enable students to learn and explore new concepts using technology to create a more dynamic learning experience. Students become more excited about learning when the smart boards are incorporated into the lesson. Many educators encourage the use of smart boards in teaching and learning. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the use of smart boards among students and teachers...
This paper proposes an educational model for groups of investigation in technological programs based upon the concepts of self-learning and self-management. The aim of this model is the definition by levels of learning and the definition of some tasks needed in order to that the knowledge will be acquired by the students in formation on investigation, allowing to these generate new knowledge that...
This paper presents the experiences gained from the introduction of Problem-based learning (PBL) in Power Electronics course at the Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten), Malaysia. Power Electronics is a fast developing technology within the electrical engineering field. To cope with the advances industrial practices need to be integrated in the theoretical knowledge. This work combined traditional...
In the recent years, there is an increasing focus on studies concerning student's engagement in the tertiary education. Student's engagement in learning is important to guarantee a good academic result. Thus it is important to encourage engagement from students in the learning process as the more engaged the students is, the better the absorption of the knowledge a student will receive. Previous literatures...
Touchscreen assistive learning numeracy application (TaLNA) is a touchscreen learning based application design for Children with Autism. TaLNA has been developed based on the concept of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) called discrete trial training (DTT). This app will be used by teachers and instructors as a platform to facilitate children with autism on learning basic numeracy development in special...
The role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is so great and growing significantly in teaching and learning of this 21st Century. The flipped classroom model has grown in popularity as it is the only blended learning model that utilized both in class time and out of class time. There is a need to evaluate the quality of the best flipped learning approach that could enhance students'...
Our main goal in this study was to resolve the difficulty of facilitating problem-solving-learning in schools, where all facilitators carry out the effective facilitation of Problem/Project Based Learning (PBL) that satisfies a certain quality. This paper discusses a "Project/Problem Based Learning Body of Knowledge (PBLBOK)" that was developed to enable facilitation suitable for learning...
The engineering program accreditation criterion requires an effective course outcome (CO) and program outcome (PO) assessment procedure. To achieve this, an efficient method to estimate student’s performance through various assessment tools is required. Many engineering institutes make use of class tests, assignments and final exam as the direct assessment tools for judging the student’s knowledge...
