Teacher' assessment comprises a basic element for the development of academy. In fact, there are many factors that can influence it. Therefore, it is important to consider the way in which certain factors provide information about the performance and efficiency of university professors. Our proposal consists of using data envelopment analysis with the aim of showing how one can adequately estimate...
The quality of technical education in training of specialists for fuel and energy complex is affected by many factors. To a greater extent, education is determined by the level of technical equipment of laboratories and by methodology of the educational process. This paper is dedicated to the professor's and lecturer's experience of modern educational technology's implementation and training methods...
This workshop will focus on helping researchers develop project proposals for submission to internal funding pools as well as external agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the Engineering Information Foundation, and similar relevant organizations.
Much research has gone into developing different strategies for teaching writing and speaking to engineering and science students. However, many of these strategies are designed for semester-long courses, in which a communication expert teaches fewer than 30 students. This extended abstract describes a study in which we test a different strategy for effectively teaching presentations to large numbers...
Technical writing service courses have become a mainstay across institutions of higher education. However, the heterogeneous student population that these courses attract leads to generic instruction that often contradicts how students are expected to communicate within their respective fields. This workshop aims to provide participants with a basic introduction to data-driven learning as well as...
Soft skills, societal awareness and the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams are crucial traits for future software engineers. Still, these social skills seem to be underrepresented in the education of software engineers. To support a practical integration of such aspects also into education, a so-called “Diversity Framework” has been developed that helps to externalize implicit factors such...
In the scope of this article is the presentation of the idea of Intelligent TALENT SPACE meaning the basis of architectural planning bearing an innovative technical attitude that suits to serve the future generations. „The intelligent house of the future" presented in this article is a good example for the innovative solutions of CogInfoCom (P. Baranyi and A. Csapo, 2012, P. Baranyi, A. Csapo,...
The fixed point theorems on partially ordered quasi-metric space has proved in previous work. In this manuscript, we forward to present a fixed point theorems into the same space by using a generalized altering distance function into its contractive mapping. This result expands other results from the references.
Electro Pneumatic Trainer for educational applications is developed as supporting tools towards the existing typical teaching and learning process. The main objective is to improve the learning outcome towards student's cognitive knowledge and practical skill where the existing teaching and learning for electro pneumatic courses conducted in the classroom without emphasizing on simulation and complex...
The nefarious practice of cyber typosquatting involves deliberately registering Internet domain names containing typographical errors that primarily target popular domain names in an effort to steal their traffic for monetary gain. Typosquatting has existed for well over two decades and continues to be a credible threat to this day. In this work, we discuss the results of a user study that exposes...
With the arrival of the age of integrated education, there is a need to develop a method to automatically transmit necessary two-dimensional information in real time to students with visual impairments. Therefore, this essay proposes a graphic display method that will allow the visually impaired to quickly and accurately understand two-dimensional information such as charts and graphs shown on a tactile...
We carried out an experiment to observe the role of transportation for adolescent female students in rural Bangladesh. A senior high school (in Bangladesh, they call it a college) student spends 180-230 minutes to travel only 22km (11 km, single trip) on an average to commute from home to college. Local transport (Tomtom) stops are not always close to their home. The walk 4km to get to the nearest...
In recent years, in each stage of education from elementary to high school in Japan, the focus has been on teaching/learning programming. However, it cannot be said that all students are able to learn programming technology. Difficult problems exist in teaching programming because of differences in student achievement levels. These differences are found at the elementary and middle school levels of...
This paper reports the experience of running a professional development workshop on advanced computing technologies for high and middle school computer teachers. The workshop introduced the teachers to new trends in computing technologies to be applied in the classroom. Thirty-two teachers took part in the workshop and benefited from its content. The workshop covered four different hot computing topics,...
Today, web-based education technologies such as e-learning, distance learning, online course, virtual classrooms and interactive learning are commonly used outside the traditional education systems. Massive Open Online Courses, which were adopted with the evolution of these systems in 2008, have become the most popular education systems of today and access to a very large audiences with many modules...
Singapore has one of the busiest ports in the world and a vast maritime industry. This requires workforce skilled in latest marine technology to operate machinery, conduct surveillance and monitor the conditions of the water bodies. Although it is lucrative to work in the marine industry, the perception of harsh working conditions often hinders new graduates to pursue this path. Furthermore, many...
Fab labs (fabrication laboratories) and makerspaces are still only starting to form in Serbia. There is only one fully functional fab lab operating in Serbia that is also registered at Fab Foundation — Polyhedra fab lab, while there are three more in formation, namely Fab lab Petnica, Fab lab Belgrade intended to be at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade and SciFabLab at the Faculty...
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyse teachers' attitudes and perceptions towards the use of digital resources in the classroom. The data of this study were collected using a qualitative method, whereby a questionnaire was distributed to 45 Life Orientation teachers. The teachers had undertaken training on how to use digital resources, to supplement their traditional approaches. The...
English, though not being the native language, is the language of instruction across the schooling years in Mauritius. Indeed, English literacy is introduced to young students at the pre-primary level as it is a pre-requisite for all other subjects, except French language in Standard One of primary level. In consequence, it is imperative that students acquire English literacy skills at pre-primary...
