Contribution: This article analyzes student assessment within a computing faculty employing a full project-based learning (PBL) approach. Examining 2078 final grades across 60 classes and periods, the study reveals a significant correlation between graded self-studies, exams, and projects. This result contributes to understanding the reliability…

The Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering at University Jaume I has a capstone project in which the student develops, during a 300-hour internship in an enterprise, a real-world project. We collected data for five academic years to analyze the assessment process to propose a new hybrid model, which combines analytic and holistic assessment and…

Formative feedback is noted as one of the most useful instruments for improving student learning in higher education (Irons, 2007; Gibbs & Simpson, 2004). This case study is a joint-staff-student collaboration in which the authors showcase their innovative and novel approach to staff and students acting in partnership to provide and receive…

The evaluation of student projects is a difficult task, especially when they involve both a technical and a creative component. We propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based methodology to help in the evaluation of complex projects in engineering and computer science courses. This methodology is intended to evaluate the assessment process…

Though posters have been used as a pedagogical tool in a variety of fields, the literature suggests that the use of posters as an educational assessment tool by the mathematics community has been limited. This is unfortunate given the numerous potential benefits of a poster, including the development of oral communication skills and the ability to…

This study presents a monocular approach for capturing students' prototyping activities and interactions in digital-fabrication-based makerspaces. The proposed method uses images from a single camera and applies object reidentification, tracking, and depth estimation algorithms to track and uniquely label participants in the space, extracting both…

In recent years, employers have expressed concerns that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduates, though proficient in their academic disciplines, lack the critical skills necessary for success in the workplace (Karimi & Pina, 2021). Additionally, many non-STEM majors do not develop the basic STEM competencies that…

Assessments are the fundamental media between students and educators. This paper aims to evaluate how to create assessments, how students learn from them, and how to link them to the industry and entrepreneurism. The implementation plan postulates how students can generate income from income-generation assessments or business innovation…

Information literacy skills are an important part of research skills for undergraduate science students. This case study presents a novel approach to developing these types of research skills. By deconstructing the research process into separate steps, explicitly defining, and practicing the skills involved, students can progressively develop…

Assessments play a pivotal role in student performance within higher education courses. in this article the effect of deemphasizing homework assignments and focusing on the course driven project had on undergraduate students' performance is clearly described. Using student grades as data sets, performance is compared over the Fall 2020, Fall 2021,…

The implementation of "Merdeka Belajar -- Kampus Merdeka" (Freedom to Learn) in Indonesia urges universities to adapt and set changes in learning activities. One of the changes is the implementation of Project-Based Learning to increase students' activeness and creativity. This research aims to assess students' creative thinking on the…

The current study used Blomquist's Project Management Self-Efficacy assessment to collect data about student's perceived project management competence before taking a graduate level project management course. The research utilized the PMSE assessment to measure actual and retrospective pre-course project management self-efficacy. No industry is…

Computing technology is reshaping the way in which professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries conduct their business. The execution of construction tasks is changing from traditional 2D to 3D building information modeling (BIM)-based concepts. The use of BIM is expanded and enriched by the introduction of advanced…

The purpose of the study is to present the Beehive Interactive Learning Model (BILM) and to provide an example of its application in an undergraduate statistics course. The model is developed by the researcher, who is a professor in Educational Measurement and Evaluation area in Turkey with over 15 years of teaching experience. The model is based…

In a recent article, Crider recommends ending a course with a memorable learning experience, called an epic finale, instead of a final exam. Here, we give the details of epic finales given in four mathematics courses: Discrete Mathematics, Information and Coding Theory, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. We describe how to reconfigure a course…
