In the field of nuclear engineering, national colleges have been carrying out important roles with about 10 % of graduates obtaining jobs in nuclear related companies. Although national colleges do not have special courses and classes for nuclear engineering, we have been trying to educate our students in cooperation with universities and industries through the activities of the Japan Nuclear Human...
Engineers often need to make sense of mathematical structures in differential equations to deal with real life problems. However, students showed difficulties in grasping them. This study presents the teaching of mathematical structures in differential equations using a computer algebra system. The computer algebra systems played the role as a pedagogical tool to enhance teaching mathematical structures...
Project-based learning (PBL) has been shown to be an effective tool in engineering education. Thus, in this paper a framework for integrating PBL into the curriculum to enable the delivery and the assessment of the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by three generic program outcomes required for accreditation of engineering programs in countries that signatories to the Washington...
Conceive, design, implementation and operate (CDIO) is an advanced method to educate engineering students. The CDIO embedded system program was a one month project-based learning exercise. This program was executed amongst the lecturers in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (Terengganu) (UiTMT). It allows the participants to experience the whole process of CDIO, starting...
Students were requested to complete a survey form with relation to the attainment of learning outcomes via the coursework activities at the end of a core undergraduate civil engineering technology course, i.e. Soil Mechanics and Foundations. The tasks involved topical Assignments, Lab Work and a Project. These group endeavours were carried out by students in the same group formations throughout the...
In order to assess an institute's mission and objectives, it is essential to have a framework for systematic collection, storage and analysis of course assessments for the students within the programs offered by the institute. This paper demonstrates such a framework and provides results from a Data Management System application to a KSA university as a case study.
We present the new results on the methodology applied at the Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología (UTEC), Lima, Peru, to train undergrad engineering students to participate in advanced research projects starting at the freshman year. Using this methodology, started in 2013, undergrad students at UTEC start taking mandatory engineering semester projects not related to any specific course but addressed...
A large number of higher education institutes are increasingly embracing online learning. Australia is fairly one of the primarily countries that attracts a large number of international students. A lot of delivery methods have been attempted in higher education to attract students from various environments. Many numbers of students are already taking different mode of online learning such as distance...
The growth in information technology has led to a higher level of education process. Web-based system provides indisputable advantages to educational resource relevantly and convincingly. Supervision for final year project students seems to have major infirmity in two-ways communication between supervisor and supervisee, which affected the outcomes of their findings. Thus, e-Supervision system is...
This paper presents the development of an online-based continuous-assessment repository system designed to cater the needs for both lecturers and students. Conventional methods of notifying continuous assessment marks, e.g. test or assignment marks to students include displaying the students' marks on the bulletin boards or merely by returning the marked tests or assignments to students. While these...
This is a case study of using action research concept as a tool to increase engineering student's ability to conduct a project-based research. At the beginning of the research, a problem led to this action research is investigated, and then the definition of action research and how to use it to find the solution is presented. The conclusion shows how action research application in engineering field...
This study investigates the inclination towards entrepreneurship among students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA. Specifically, it aims to examine the association between the formal entrepreneurship course provided by the university and the electrical engineering students' inclination towards entrepreneurship. The samples for this study were collected through an...
This paper provides an overview of online student feedback systems in tertiary institutions. It is then introduce a student feedback online system (SuFO) developed and used in a public university in Malaysia. Subsequently, this paper describes how data from SuFO is used to observe the quality of teaching between experience and inexperience lecturer. The evaluation is based on students' response in...
Power flow calculation is very important for power system operation, economic scheduling and planning. This paper presents a development of Power System Load Flow Analysis tool based on the Newton Raphson method by using a User Friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) Matlab Program. This tool introduces a simple interface for the user to perform load flow analysis. It is also designed for a user to...
The content order of geometric components in the mathematics curriculum and the teaching process in a geometry class are said to be in contrast with the existing level of geometric thinking among secondary school students in Malaysia. Van Hiele (1986) proposed that directions should be given at the same level as the students' ability and therefore recommended phases of learning geometry in order to...
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...
Identifying and tapping into what is intrinsically motivating has been touted as a key to true learning. Educators, therefore, are attempting to focus on instructional tools that tap into intrinsic motivation in order to excite students about learning and encourage them to become self-taught, lifelong learners. Finding the optimal tools to produce intrinsic motivation, however, can be challenging...
Community Engagement or Service-learning is a rapidly growing pedagogy in higher education and has come under increased visibility within engineering and computing education. It has been cited as a potential tool for increasing student engagement as well as diversity among our engineering, technology and computing student bodies. It also has opportunities to prepare the next generation of professionals,...
Agile methods are the fastest rising software lifecycle process methods in software engineering. Educators are converting traditional and project-base courses to agile in response, but this is a daunting task with few structured teaching resources methods available to reduce the burden on the educator. In professional practice, agile methods have been particularly effective in empowering experienced...
