Al Abadi, Haider; Mainali, Bandita; Lumantarna, Elisa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Feedback can improve or impair students' learning performance, depending on its timing and constructiveness. Given the diversity of students' study goals and overall performance in the assessment tasks within most classes, a group of students can experience a deteriorated performance from delayed corrective feedback, and another group can suffer…

Stamou, Anastasios; Noutsopoulos, Constantinos; Kuhlmann, Anna; Rutschmann, Peter – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
We present a teaching methodology to answer the question 'How can we link teaching with research in our engineering courses?' Due to the combination of hybrid Problem Based Learning with Research Tutored/Oriented Teaching, the methodology enables the students to acquire the skills of 'problem solving', 'working in teams', 'analytic', 'written…

Xie, Lei; Kogut, Ashlynn; Beyerlein, Michael; Boehm, Rodney – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
This grounded theory research examined the actions mentors take to help student teams. We interviewed nine mentors from an engineering competition using semi-structured interviews. We studied the interactions between mentors and student teams and identified nine mentoring actions: initiating the relationship, strategies to develop thinking, active…

Kähkönen, Elina; Hölttä-Otto, Katja – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Interdisciplinary engineering programs have many perceived benefits including developing broader skills and an ability to work with complex real-life problems. However, the development of interdisciplinary programs faces many challenges including how to balance breadth and depth, how to integrate interdisciplinary learning into existing studies…

Carmona Marques, P. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
This paper reports the results of a study of engineering students' approaches to an open-ended design problem. To carry out this, sketches and interviews were collected from 9 freshmen (first year) and 10 doctoral engineering students, when they designed solutions for orange squeezers. Sketches and interviews were analysed and mapped with a…

Jaiswal, Aparajita; Lyon, Joseph A.; Zhang, Yiqun; Magana, Alejandra J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Reflective practice is becoming a more necessary skill across all disciplines and industry sectors. This study describes the reflective processes capstone engineering students engaged with as part of modelling-based learning assignments over the entire course of a semester. Students answered multiple reflection questions asking them about…

Monteiro, Fátima; Leite, Carlinda; Rocha, Cristina – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
The recognition of the need and importance of including ethical and civic education in engineering courses, as well as the training profile on ethical issues, relies heavily on the engineer's concept and the perception of the engineering action. These views are strongly related to the different engineer education model conceptions and its…

Aadland, Torgeir; Aaboen, Lise – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
The future engineer is labelled an entrepreneurial engineer, having networking, teamwork, opportunity recognition, creativity, risk management, and discipline-specific skills. Therefore, entrepreneurship education is being increasingly introduced in engineering education. The various educational designs used to introduce entrepreneurship education…

Delgado-Sanchez, J. M.; Lillo-Bravo, I. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
The design of solar power plants and the operating principles are learned by engineering students during the last academic year. Typically, this subject is taught using the traditional methodology based on lectures where students are not considered as an active player of the class. The aim of this experience was to implement innovative…

Forsman, Jonas; van den Bogaard, Maartje; Linder, Cedric; Fraser, Duncan – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
This study uses multilayer minimum spanning tree analysis to develop a model for student retention from a complex system perspective, using data obtained from first-year engineering students at a large well-regarded institution in the European Union. The results show that the elements of the system of student retention are related to one another…

Yoshino, Rui T.; Pinto, Marcela Marçal A.; Pontes, Joseane; Treinta, Fernanda Tavares; Justo, João F.; Santos, Max M. D. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
The current industrial revolution demands a revolution on teaching methodologies at all levels, particularly for higher education. Here, we present an efficient model to teach technologies associated with Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in undergraduate engineering courses. The first step was identifying the main skills required for an I4.0 practitioner and…

Silva, Arlindo; Fontul, Mihail; Henriques, Elsa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Engineering design is known as an answer to an ill-defined problem. As any answer to an ill-defined problem, it can never be completely right or absolutely wrong. The methods that universities use to teach engineering design, as a consequence of this, suffer from the same fate. However, the accumulated experience with the "chalk and…
