Darshan M. A. Karwat; James R. Blakley; Elizabeth A. Castillo; Amy Squitieri; Alisa Oyler; Madison M. Macias – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2025
Engineers and planners are central players in creating the built environments and shaping natural ones that make up our communities. They can be a force for creating environments that are just and equitable, and by doing so advance the ideals of environmental justice. But, too often, these professionals are not empowered to create or seize…

Kashif Raza; Simon Li; Catherine Chua – Science & Education, 2024
Traditional engineering education (Eng. Ed) has received criticism for restricting student learning and experiences to practical skills development while ignoring the significance of fostering cognitive skills that encourage higher order thinking, criticality, and self-reflexivity. Imaginative education (IE) has emerged as a consideration for…

Calkins, Susanna C.; Rivnay, Jonathan – Journal of Effective Teaching in Higher Education, 2021
This article highlights an innovative take on the jigsaw format, an inclusive and cooperative active learning strategy, implemented in an upper-level engineering elective course. After students complete the usual two steps of the jigsaw method--first gaining mastery in "expert groups" and then collaboratively teaching their peers in…

Pessoa, M. V. Pereira – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Real-world design settings can be complex, ill-structured, open and typically uncertain and/or ambiguous about their goals and solution paths. This study contributes to understanding how to work with these types of problems in a course project setting. The main objective of the study is to identify, propose and validate a set of practical…

Ulseth, Ron; Johnson, Bart; Kennedy, Christine – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
In this paper, we address the achievements to date and the learnings from the development and ten-year implementation of the Iron Range Engineering (IRE) program while articulating its future directions. IRE uses research-based instructional strategies to implement a project-based learning (PBL) curriculum where authentic design sits at the heart…

Case, Jennifer M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Most of the contemporary critiques of university teaching are variants of a central argument that sets up a polarity between socalled 'traditional' teaching, often termed 'teacher-centred' and 'transmissive', and approaches that by contrast are considered 'student-centred', often also referred to with the phrase 'active learning'. This editorial…
