Direct linkBorgford-Parnell, Jim; Turns, Jennifer; Atman, Cynthia J.; Yasuhara, Ken; Fryhle, Lauren – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Although engineering educational endeavours are often described with regard to how well they prepare students to meet national or global engineering concerns, the purpose of this paper is to show how those efforts can also serve the larger educational goals of the educators themselves as they develop learning experiences for their students. This…

Akay, Adnan – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2008
This paper addresses the role of engineering PhD education and its relationship to innovation and technology, and the need to reconsider how we educate PhD engineers. Much of the effort on engineering education in the last two decades focused on undergraduate education with a few exceptions that relate to master degree programs. Doctoral education…

Heikkero, T. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2008
In this paper I argue that volitional aspects, i.e. ethos, attitude, pathos, will, underlying emotion, in engineering action need to be addressed when teaching social responsibility within the engineering curriculum. After presenting reasons for this claim, I look at two different, but not mutually exclusive, approaches to address volitional…

Baggi, Dennis L. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
There are two main claims in this article. First, that the classic pillars of engineering education, namely, traditional mathematics and differential equations, are merely a particular, if not old-fashioned, representation of a broader mathematical vision, which spans from Turing machine programming and symbolic productions sets to sub-symbolic…

Fraser, Duncan; Linder, Cedric – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
Contemporary learning research and development that is embedded in primary and secondary schooling is increasingly acknowledging the significance of a variation approach for enhancing the possibility of learning. However, the variation approach has so far attracted very little attention in higher education, but where it has, the results have been…

Allie, Saalih; Armien, Mogamat Noor; Burgoyne, Nicolette; Case, Jennifer M.; Collier-Reed, Brandon I.; Craig, Tracy S.; Deacon, Andrew; Fraser, Duncan M.; Geyer, Zulpha; Jacobs, Cecilia; Jawitz, Jeff; Kloot, Bruce; Kotta, Linda; Langdon, Genevieve; le Roux, Kate; Marshall, Delia; Mogashana, Disaapele; Shaw, Corrinne; Sheridan, Gillian; Wolmarans, Nicolette – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
In this paper, we propose that learning in engineering involves taking on the discourse of an engineering community, which is intimately bound up with the identity of being a member of that community. This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…

Woodhead, R.; Ball, F.; Li, X. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2004
This paper moves beyond the competence focus of mainstream value engineering training (e.g. Miles 1989, "Techniques of Value Engineering and Value Analysis"; Kaufman 1990, "Value Engineering for the Practitioner"), such books achieve their training goal well but lack the pedagogic aim we argue in this paper. This paper achieves our aim by…

Pritchard, J.; Baillie, C. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2006
In the present paper we question how engineering education (and engineering) can support greater participation and inclusiveness in decision making and science and technology. We consider the work "relating" to engineering and society that is conducted by the scholars of science and technology studies, but which is rarely read or considered by the…

Peer reviewedFishwick, Wilfred – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1989
Discusses the way in which European engineering schools might advance the development of developing countries by cooperating with engineering and technical schools in those countries, including cooperation between schools and industry, continuing education, curriculum design, research and development, and educational technology. (YP)

Peer reviewedAlbers, Willem – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1990
Contrasted are engineering statistics with statistics for students of mathematics and social science. Topics considered are level of abstraction, amount of technical detail, and choice of subject. The nature of exercises suitable for various courses is described. (KR)

Jakobsen, Arne; Bucciarelli, Louis L. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
An essential difficulty in solving practical problems that are not like the ones a student has solved before is discerning the core of the problem. It is claimed that discernment has to be trained by variation--by varying the context of the assignments in which students have to identify and grasp their "underlying form". A decisive…

Peer reviewedMustoe, Leslie – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2002
Describes some problems concerning mathematics instructors such as the effects of a less mathematically homogeneous entry of instructors. Outlines steps that are being taken to alleviate these problems. Introduces the Science and Engineering Foundation Studies (SEFI) Mathematics Working Group. (Author/YDS)

Peer reviewedGeysen, W.; And Others – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1990
Presented is a philosophy for the education of professional engineers in Belgium. Modern techniques that may be used in classical studies are analyzed. Described is a curriculum that is specific for the Belgium situation in an unified Europe. (KR)

Peer reviewedTitchener, A. L. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1989
Suggests that engineering curricula should be designed on the basis that engineering is a vocation. Outlines how curricula might be developed by identifying engineering jobs and proceeding from job specification through engineering capability profiles to subjects of instruction. (YP)

Peer reviewedJha, C. S. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1989
Examines the differences in the characteristics of developing and developed countries, the technological framework and projections of economic growth of developing countries, and the features of the engineering educational systems of developing countries. Discusses the compatibility of socially relevant engineering education with that of…
