In this study we analyzed the curricula of 65 university students to investigate the impact of activities progression on student performances. Clustering curricula based on activity order and type we discovered a significant incidence on performance, validating the predictive power of curricula. Nevertheless, we discovered that the characterization of clusters is mainly due to non mandatory activities,...
New studies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have investigated the factors why students do or do not appreciate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. Many indicators point mainly to the effectiveness, or ineffectiveness, of teachers. The main purpose of this paper is to identify significant factors that affect teachers' effectiveness. This is done through an analysis of...
This paper presents one methodology for successfully preparing engineering students for their senior design capstone projects. The preparation is carried out through effective handling of the project component in higher level courses. This is achieved by granting the students the freedom to select their own project topic and adopted technology while abiding with some general rules thus creating an...
New concepts and features are shown for forming technology lectures. On the one hand, technological and electronic developments as audience and response system and the integration of a remote lab is presented. On the other hand, didactical approaches focus on the aim to combine theory with practical relevance. The implemented developments were evaluated by the students and the influence to their grade...
The aim of this paper is to present a collaborative social platform developed as a research project to enhance serious collaboration between the students of ESPRIT (School of Engineering, Tunis, Tunisia). The platform focuses on automating the creation of opportunistic collaboration between students, based on the type of the tasks conducted (content creation, project realization, problem resolution…),...
The performed analysis of the current smart systems, smart technology, smart devices and their applications in education clearly shows that a combination of Smart Learning concept and Internet-of-Things innovative technology will be a dominant paradigm of learning in upcoming 5–15 years. This paper presents the up-to-date findings and outcomes of research, design and development project aimed to identify...
Mobile technology has become a staple in our society. It plays a crucial and profound role inassisting learners (despite their level and age) in their leaning process using various apparatus and mobile devices (laptop, tablets …). This paper presents a new learning framework based on tablets. This solution has been developed and tested in Esprit "Ecole Supérieure Privée d'Igénieurie et de Technologies",...
In the Outcome Based Education curriculum, a student is expected to achieve the Programme Outcomes, (PO) upon graduation and the achievement of the programme outcomes have to be assessed through designated measurement methods. These POs were determined by the departmental review committee for the Outcome Based Education (OBE) and curriculum as well as feedbacks from various stakeholders (i.e. employers,...
A mock examination is an exam that does not count for credit. It is taken before an official examination and gives students the opportunity to practice for the later, important exam. The mock examination provides students with information on their actual learning progress and gives them in this way the opportunity to fill knowledge gaps. An electronic mock examination is the online variant usually...
With the goal of extending the possibilities for practical experience in engineering tasks, the project ELLI (Excellent Teaching and Learning in Engineering Sciences) follows the idea of providing virtual and remote labs for students, teachers and even interested people from different disciplines, countries or skill levels. To integrate these labs into the existing curriculum and to get students and...
This paper summarizes the features and obtained results around and educational environment for microelectronics training implemented under the context of the growing trends of the semiconductors sector. By applying a design-based educational strategy for training and design skills acquisition about digital and analog design flow, the called IC-Brazil Program (program for training in microelectronics...
The authors of this paper introduced junior (3rd year BSc) students for the first time to the principles and practices of innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering design at Khalifa University in the United Arab Emirates, in 2014. This included an overview of the techniques that managers in organizations and startup entrepreneurs use to initiate and manage innovation effectively. The course introduces...
The purpose of this study is to analyze learning effectiveness when students are in training to review the design of concrete structures. Two different course delivery methods for vocational engineering students are compared. The first delivery method begins with a traditional instructional approach followed by an active learning approach. The second delivery method utilizes the same approaches, but...
The selection of an engineering major is a decision that can influence the career of young students, and possibly their entire fife. The purpose of this study is to understand the factors affecting the selection of an engineering major in Qatar, a developing country in the Guff region. Responses were collected from commencing engineering students, and an inventory of reasons stated for electing to...
How do lecturers know that their teaching is effective? If they want to formally assess this, they first have to define learning objectives that specify the intended outcome of their teaching, in terms of competencies to be developed in their students. On this basis, they can then design appropriate assessment tools, such as formal exams, that attempt to objectively measure to what extent the aspired...
The performed analysis of the current status of agile methodology applications in industry clearly shows that companies and businesses will soon need a significant number of well educated and highly skilled agile project managers in engineering/computing/IT areas. A shift from traditional project management framework (based on PMBOK) to agile project management requires project managers to be equipped...
A cultural change at the university eco-system is possible with diverse learning approaches in faculties. Diverse learning offers will cope with the diversity of students regarding their value systems. Currently teaching at universities is dominated by "teacher-centered teaching", also there are approaches to use different methods to accelerate and intensify the teaching and learning process...
The appearance of MOOCs has boosted the creation of educational material for use in all possible contexts. However, this material is often created without much thought and without proper tools and methodologies. Much more attention should be placed on the design of educational material, since this is the basis for a successful learning experience. In this special session, we report about several interesting...
This paper highlights the importance of assessing individual students' performance when working in groups. It discusses some methods to differentiate individual performance and grade when a student works as a part of a team. Three different case studies are presented, i.e., assessment of individual student performance when working in a group to do a laboratory practice, or a mini-project or a final-year...
The identification of academic attributes that allow improving student achievement is of fundamental importance in the teaching learning process. In the current study we present a methodology to recognize the attributes of educational success based Pareto distribution and data mining algorithms that authorize the identification of which attributes most important to child's educational performance...
