Geren, Necdet; Uzay, Çagri; Bayramoglu, Melih – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
It is well accepted that many mechanical engineering (ME) design processes are complex. We believe that many ME design approaches include unnecessary complexity, intended to assist the teaching of engineering knowledge. This technical complexity has contributed to many critical issues in ME education, including decreased enrolments in many…

Berber, Nilüfer Cerit – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2018
It is generally difficult to define abstract concepts for students. However, perceptions related to abstract concepts or facts can be revealed using metaphors because people frequently express their emotions, ideas and perceptions by means of metaphors. Through metaphors, students can express what they want to say more effectively with fewer…
