Chavan, Pankaj; Mitra, Ritayan; Srree Murallidharan, Janani – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Student and teacher perceptions of course content are critical components of the teaching and learning process. Studies that have investigated such perceptions offer conflicting evidence of both convergence and divergence between the perceptions of students and teacher. These studies used data modalities such as interviews and surveys, which have…

le Roux, Kate; Kloot, Bruce – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Engineering educators express concern that undergraduate engineering students solve problems procedurally without the necessary conceptual understanding. While research in engineering dynamics has focused on using technology to improve student performance, this article focuses on using representations for modelling problem solving in the lecture.…

olde Scholtenhuis, Léon; Vahdatikhaki, Farid; Rouwenhorst, Chris – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Multimedia in blended learning provides the ability to enhance students' performance and satisfaction. Microlectures are one type of multimedia that comprise of short modular videos that introduce basic theoretical concepts. Literature provides limited insight into how this specific format supports engineering classrooms. This study, therefore,…

Crockett, Caroline; Finelli, Cynthia; Powell, Harry C. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This paper investigates what instructional factors influence conceptual understanding (CU) of signals and systems for senior undergraduate engineering students. Previous results show students in signals and systems courses typically gain little CU, though evidence-based instructional practices, such as active learning, can increase gains in CU.…

Rossiter, J. A.; Pasik-Duncan, B.; Dormido, Sebastian; Vlacic, Ljubo; Jones, Bryn; Murray, Richard – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
This paper gives a focussed summary of good practice taken primarily from engineers who are responsible for teaching topics related to systems and control. This engineering specialisation allows the paper to give some degree of focus in the discussions around laboratories, software and assessment, although naturally many of the conclusions are…

Davey, Kenneth – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
A detailed study of learning and teaching (L&T) of chemical engineering distillation to a mixed-ability small class of 13 students who are ordinarily full-time in-house employees in industry is reported. The course consisted of 9 × 2-h lectures (18 hours) and 9 × 2-h tutorials (18 hours). It was delivered over nine business days "in…

Maclaren, Peter – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
While the traditional lecture remains a key feature in the teaching of mathematically intensive disciplines at a tertiary level, what students do outside class, the resources they use, and how they use them are critical factors in their success. This study reports on a survey of students studying a range of engineering subjects, giving their views…

Auyuanet, Adriana; Modzelewski, Helena; Loureiro, Silvia; Alessandrini, Daniel; Míguez, Marina – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
This paper presents and analyses the results obtained by applying Active Learning techniques in overcrowded Physics lectures at the University of the Republic, Uruguay. The course referred to is Physics 1, the first Physics course that all students of the Faculty of Engineering take in their first semester for all the Engineering-related careers.…

Lucke, Terry; Dunn, Peter K.; Christie, Michael – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
This case study trialled the introduction of a student-response system (Top Hat) in a third-year engineering Fluid Mechanics course (n = 44) to improve student engagement, motivation and cognition. It was recognised that for the potential benefits of student-response systems (SRSs) to be fully realised, more time must be allocated for student…

Baytiyeh, Hoda; Naja, Mohamad K. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
The flipped classroom model is an innovative educational trend that has been widely adopted in the social sciences but not engineering education. In this model, an active instructional approach shifts the educational strategy from a teacher- to a student-centred approach. The purpose of this study is to compare the learning outcomes of engineering…

Kunioshi, Nílson; Noguchi, Judy; Tojo, Kazuko; Hayashi, Hiroko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
As English-medium instruction (EMI) spreads around the world, university teachers and students who are non-native speakers of English (NNS) need to put much effort into the delivery or reception of content. Construction of scientific meaning in the process of learning is already complex when instruction is delivered in the first language of the…
