The paper details changes made to the assessment methods employed on two modules delivered on six MSc programmes in Engineering. The assessment altered from all coursework to a combination of a coursework and examination to meet Professional Body requirements. Further, the paper will highlight how student feedback was sought on the new assessment approach and how this feedback led to developments...
The energy sector worldwide has embarked on a transformational process to modernize the over-a-century-old power grid under an umbrella term of the Smart Grid. This vast infrastructural upgrade and operational change involves integration of a variety of advanced digital computing, communications and industrial control technologies. This brings new capabilities, but also necessitates a re-education...
Inquiry-based learning is defined as an educational approach guided by the process of question making. It is seen as an active learning scheme in which knowledge is built through the development of experimental and analytical activities. This paper presents the expansion of the SMILE project (Stanford Mobile Inquiry Based Learning Environment), whose goal is to allow students to create and share questions...
The ability to communicate technical information is a critical engineering skill underemphasized in many programs. A base for successful technical communication is often established through a required course early in engineering curriculum. However, these courses are frequently taught by English/communication instructors, and the content is neither integrated into subsequent curriculum nor applied...
Fundamental concept gaps in math, science, and physics, as well as other gaps students and faculty perceive in the curriculum, can have crucial implications for faculty teaching courses and for students progressing through a civil engineering program. Faculty noted anecdotally that students were getting midway through the curriculum and having extreme difficulty with concepts in certain courses. A...
In this paper, we describe an on-going experiment in asynchronous on-line learning. In 2010, a popular graduate statistics course was converted to this format. The course has now been offered four times in the new format. We review some highlights from the history of personalized instruction and how those ideas influenced the development of our course; as well as the results of its first four offerings...
Serious games are beneficial for education in various computer science areas. Numerous works have reported the experiences of using games (not only playing but also development) in teaching and learning. Considering it could be difficult for teachers/students to prepare/develop a game from scratch during one semester, assistant educational materials would be crucial in the corresponding courses. Unfortunately,...
Mathematics is a key subject for success in Computer Science and it continues to be a challenging subject. Use of technology has given rise to a new pedagogy called Flip-Classroom (FC). FC involves creating online multimedia content that is utilized out-of-class in conjunction with in-class learning activities such as individual and collaborative problem solving, group-work and class-discussion. An...
"Flipped classrooms" have been tested in engineering education through the on-line delivery of lectures using speech-synchronized PC-screen-capture technology (SS-capture) to increase engineering students' enthusiasm towards studying. The SS-capture system records Screenshots as a series of still images synchronously with input from a microphone. The resultant recording is akin to a slide...
Propagation is a widespread goal of education materials development. If an educational innovation is effective in one environment, many developers want to share it with other instructors and institutions to have a larger impact and improve education more broadly. Studying the propagation process is one way to learn more about the aspects that contribute to propagation of particular educational innovations...
I often hear faculty speak of students not taking responsibility. Students who do not read the assignments, miss or turn in incomplete homework, or do not actively participating in lab assignments and still expect a good grade! Simply put, more and more students are not taking responsibility for their own learning. But I don't believe that the reason is because students don't want to do so. My question...
The present paper describes the strategies used to compile and teach an Informatics course developed during last years at Tallinn University of Technology. The strategy is based on the main principles of blended learning and the analysis of the results of experiments with students from different faculties. Various tests were carried out to identify students' levels of knowledge and preferences in...
Computer Science (CS) classes have been supported for ten years by multimedia materials in the form of podcasts. Even such materials did not improve quality of learning outcomes. In order to change this the idea of flipped classroom (FC) was used but situation did not change radically, so survey concerning students opinion on FC was conducted. Comparison of results of survey show big differences in...
By using existing metal mesh technology we propose a new lens design that behaves in a similar way to a Wollaston Prism. That is, a device that separates out the two linear polarised states of the incident field and then focuses them separately on same focal plane. The design is an evolution of an existing GRIN lens based on the same technology. The proposed lens design has a diameter of 75mm while...
Corpora have become bigger, better and more numerous, and their interfaces are quicker, simpler and freely available for use on any computer. At the same time, user manuals and teaching materials have been created to support the technology. The technological and pedagogical aspects of corpus-based language learning are equally important, but the previous research has been weighted towards the creation...
This paper introduces a design principle for automatic cloth car wireless communication control system of mechanical equipment in metallurgy and mine. The system includes vehicle control system and a ground control system, installed on-board radar material level meter in cloth car bottom, photoelectric rotary encoder and the cloth wheel is coaxially connected, in cloth car body control device installed...
