Luiz Ney d'Escoffier; Dan Jiang; Aida Guerra; Andres Felipe Valderrama Pineda; Imad Abou-Hayt – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Despite an emerging emphasis on the role of engineers in achieving the SDGs, there is still a lack of agreement on which competencies should be prioritised to prepare them to tackle future sustainability challenges. By formulating a theoretical framework of key sustainable competencies based on prior studies, this study investigated engineering…

Carstensen, Anna-Karin; Bernhard, Jonte – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Modelling is a central activity in practical engineering and something that is also useful in engineering education research (EER). Additionally, qualitative research methods have found important applications in engineering research, although their use in EER has not always been widely accepted. Design science research is a qualitative research…

Cashman, Andrew; O'Mahony, Tom – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
In engineering, kinematics is widely regarded as a fundamental topic with the literature agreeing that students possess a wide range in understanding of the topic. This study aims to take a second-order approach by understanding and exploring the qualitatively different ways in which students approach solving kinematics problems. Phenomenography…

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…

Paciarotti, Claudia; Bertozzi, Gabriele; Sillaots, Martin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Gamification is usually defined as the use of game structure components in circumstances that are not commonly associated with games. In engineering studies, Gamification and its sub-concept of Serious Games are rather widespread pedagogical models. Just like in other application scopes, the approach to their utilisation or analysis is always…

Omar, Hanafy M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Systems dynamics and automatic control is classified as one of the toughest courses in the college of engineering at Qassim University according to the statistical analysis of the final grades. This motivated us to think about a new approach to teach this course by extending the design term project to include experimental part beside the…

Dyer, Mark; Grey, Thomas; Kinnane, Oliver – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
It has become increasingly common for tasks traditionally carried out by engineers to be undertaken by technicians and technologist with access to sophisticated computers and software that can often perform complex calculations that were previously the responsibility of engineers. Not surprisingly, this development raises serious questions about…

Bissett-Johnson, Katherine; Radcliffe, David F. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Engineering education for sustainable design often focuses on technical solutions with little consideration of social impact. This paper presents a case study of a project-based learning (PBL) studio course engaging engineering students in social and sustainable design practices with external clients in developing economies. The case is a review…

Puente, S. M. Gómez; Jansen, J. W. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
This paper aims at presenting the experience of the Power Conversion project in teaching students to design a proof-of-principle contactless energy transfer system for the charging of electrical vehicles. The Power Conversion is a second-year electrical engineering (EE) project in which students are to gather and apply EE knowledge to design and…

Kohn Rådberg, Kamilla; Lundqvist, Ulrika; Malmqvist, Johan; Hagvall Svensson, Oskar – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Challenge-based learning (CBL) is a multidisciplinary approach that encourages students to work actively with peers, teachers and stakeholders in society to identify complex challenges, formulate relevant questions and take action for sustainable development. In this paper, it is argued that CBL can be viewed as an evolution of the Conceive,…

Beagon, Úna; Niall, Dervilla; Ní Fhloinn, Eabhnat – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
This study explores students' perceptions of the effectiveness of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) design project, taken as part of a first-year engineering module, in developing professional skills needed for engineering practice. Students completed surveys before and after the PBL group project, and produced personal reflections on the process.…

Silva, Arlindo; Leite, Marco; Vilas-Boas, João; Simões, Ricardo – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Product design and development (PDD) is a current topic of academic and industrial research. Emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as design thinking and creativity has been recently pulled together into the teaching and research on PDD. This paper looks into a multidisciplinary setting made up of three similar but independent PDD…

Edström, Kristina; Kolmos, Anette – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
This paper compares two models for reforming engineering education, problem/project-based learning (PBL), and conceive-design-implement-operate (CDIO), identifying and explaining similarities and differences. PBL and CDIO are defined and contrasted in terms of their history, community, definitions, curriculum design, relation to disciplines,…
