‘Flipping the Classroom’ is a well-known effective educational approach which can produce significant learning gains. Students are doing the preliminary cognitive work to gain knowledge and comprehension outside of class, then focusing on the advanced cognitive work on application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation in class. However, practically its application is quite challenging due to the limited...
The Editorial Board for the IEEE Transactions of Education developed and published a new set of review criteria. The review criteria have been built on the foundation of the areas of scholarship offered by Ernest Boyer. The purpose of this workshop is to help authors address the review criteria.
The purpose of this proposed mini-workshop is to connect our research in conceptual change [Collaborative research: Getting Engineers to Talk Across Disciplines, EEC 1129447] to instructional practice. Our research suggests that one potential indicator of students' conceptual understanding across several engineering disciplines is their use (or misuse) of language. During this mini-workshop participants...
The field of engineering education has initiated a focus on ensuring engineering education research is disseminated and implemented within the classroom. Numerous researchers have investigated the reasons for the adoption of evidence-based practices, or, more often, the lack thereof. The Professional and Organizational Development (POD) network community is an underutilized potential ally for ensuring...
In 2007, Borrego published her groundbreaking work “Conceptual difficulties experienced by trained engineers learning educational research methods”[1] that described five conceptual difficulties engineering faculty encountered as they began to learn about rigorous research in engineering education. Since Borrego's research was published the engineering education departments have been formed and a...
Proper structuring of course scheme in curriculum contributes to better learning. The courses mapped to the fundamental graduate attributes may be placed at the early level of the curriculum. However, courses which mapped well with designing and applying attributes are posing a challenge as far as the attainment of Program Objectives is concerned. An exercise is made to measure the impact of bringing...
Course outcome assessment is a pre-requisite for any programme to assess the performance of the student during the programme of study. Corrective actions are planned accordingly for the achievement of the same. The paper discusses the methodology for the assessment of course outcome of an individual student against pre-defined target. The assessment and analysis also provide the path to mobilize the...
In today's world of globalization, Indian education system is to be upgraded. The paper focus on the recent literature available related to teaching learning approach. The attempt is to analysis the admission condition in technical institutes due to growth in intake of seats. The fish bone diagram technique is suggested to analysis the root cause of failure, considering student as one of the stakeholders...
Post Graduate course viz. Management course inculcates the attributes that are to be assessed for every student. These attributes include ability to investigate, Ability to network and resourceful, independent and critical thinkers, subject specialist, confident, excellent communication skills, collaborator, adaptable etc. are the area of concern. The presence of necessary management attributes guarantees...
The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) have an interest in the role of Systems Engineering (SE) knowledge in all types of education. This paper reports on an academic forum meeting held in May 2015. The aim of this forum was to explore ways of understanding, promoting and enhancing the value of Systems Engineering Knowledge in the education of all Engineers. This aim was identified...
Programming is a challenging subject to students who are exploring it for the very first time. Common problems faced by the students are difficult to break down the main problem to sub-problems, providing a solution to the problem using specific steps and placing the different steps in the correct order to solve the problem. Three online supported methods are implemented in a programming 1 class across...
This paper discusses learning behavior analysis using a learning management system (LMS) and an e-textbook system. We collected a large number of operation logs from e-textbooks to analyze the process of learning. In addition, we conducted a quiz to check the level of understanding. In our study, we especially focus on an analysis of the relationship between learning behavior in informal learning...
How can a game be used to motivate students towards a specific scientific area and, at the same time, support those students in the development of personal and social skills? eCity online game is an educational platform based on a city simulation engine designed to support Problem Based Learning (PBL) in the STEM area. The game is used to motivate high school students for an academic course in science...
Education outcome is very important for practical work in industry, design, research as well for lifelong education and theoretical work. Article deals with some aspects of all-around world discussion on education content, process and education meaning from society point of view.
This Modernization of technology requires training of personnel with new competencies and establishment of centers for innovation in education, research, and technologies within the framework of higher education system. According to that tendency Project activity direction was created in the system of Elite Engineering Education in Tomsk Polytechnic University. The key features of the organization...
Internships have become an important system to bring students, companies and universities closer. It has also become one of the first preferences of students when it comes to complementing their education. However, in a globally connected world, mobility is a great value, being required by most of the professionals. In this way, the concept of virtual internships is being developed as an innovative...
For five years now we have been inviting highly talented students from the upper vocational schools of Bavaria to the ‘Technische Universität München’ TUM to participate in the Pupils' Academy of Serious Gaming. The pedagogical approach of upper vocational schools is the practical application of sciences. Based on this approach we enable the participants to change their learning perspective from ‘school...
Logistics is an interdisciplinary field. Modern logisticians need to integrate business management skills with technology design, IT systems know-how and other engineering fields. However, based on research of university curricula and competence standards in logistics, the engineering aspect is not represented in full potential. There are a few treatments of logistician competences relating to engineering,...
Civil engineering projects increasingly involve a wide range of stakeholders with diverse interests and multidisciplinary teams. Engineers need soft skills to deal with these teams and stakeholders. “How to educate these soft skills to engineering students?” is the central question for technical universities. The course Collaborative Design and Engineering in the Dutch master's programme Construction...
Jigsaw is a cooperative style of learning that has been around for more than four decades. Started as a technique for bridging ethnic boundaries and including minorities gently within the crowd, Jigsaw is now seen as one of the very effective techniques of student-centered learning, team-based learning, and project-based learning. Most of the successful stories on Jigsaw come from the fields of social...
