Delgado, Antonio; Justo, Enrique; Terranova, Domenico; Cascales, Juan – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
What difficulties do architecture students encounter in the structural design for their final master project? How do they address these difficulties? This paper presents the topic and focuses on these two research questions by examining the students' experience, using thematic analysis with a qualitative approach. We obtained the data through…

Jacobs, Eva; Garbrecht, Oliver; Kneer, Reinhold; Rohlfs, Wilko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
There is a lack of research on how game-based learning apps should be designed for engineering education. This paper addresses two research questions: What do engineering students expect from a learning app? Which educational approach and learning app design can meet these requirements? A survey revealed the particular demands of engineering…

Violante, Maria Grazia; Vezzetti, Enrico – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
In the twenty-first century, meeting our technological challenges demands educational excellence, a skilled populace that is ready for the critical challenges society faces. There is widespread consensus, however, that education systems are failing to adequately prepare all students with the essential twenty-first century knowledge and skills…

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…

Baukal, Charles E.; Ausburn, Lynna J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
Continuing engineering education (CEE) is important to ensure engineers maintain proficiency over the life of their careers. However, relatively few studies have examined designing effective training for working engineers. Research has indicated that both learner instructional preferences and prior knowledge can impact the learning process, but it…

Sonntag, Michel – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2006
Design is at the heart of vocational training programmes. That is the reason why teaching design and training students to design are major concerns of engineering schools. Our participation in this training favours a particular approach: reflexive practice. The Reflexive pedagogy lays the emphasis on the metaphorical dimension of learning. It is…

Davis, Claire; Wilcock, Elizabeth – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
The use of case studies to teach materials science undergraduates is an exciting and interesting educational approach. As well as helping learners to connect theory and practice, the case method is also useful for creating an active learning environment, developing key skills and catering for a range of different learning styles. This paper…
