Anette Kolmos; Jette Egelund Holgaard; Henrik Worm Routhe; Maiken Winther; Lykke Bertel – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Problem- and project-based learning (PBL) is often highlighted as a valuable approach for addressing the need for interdisciplinarity in engineering education. However, studies indicate that applied projects in engineering education tend to be limited to a single discipline. This article presents a new project typology which can be applied in…

Wang, Liyuan; Huang, Meiping; Zhang, Xiaohua; Yan, Xueyuan; Jin, Ruoyu; Wanatowski, Dariusz; Cheshmehzangi, Ali; Chohan, Navpreet – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
This pedagogical study aimed to demonstrate an updated Building Information Modelling (BIM) educational activity in CEM (i.e., construction engineering and management) students' final semester project. It investigated students' perceptions of BIM and the project. Student feedback provided insights for linking education to practice, for example,…

Havenga, Marietjie; Swart, Athur James – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Problem-based learning is an active student-centred approach, which requires engineering students to work together in solving real-world problems. This study aims to review the incorporation of cooperative learning principles in an introductory first-year engineering course that aimed to develop students' group skills while working on…

Stephen Secules – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
This paper examines specific problems of educational practice that I, an undergraduate engineering educator and education researcher, have encountered in creating an interdisciplinary engineering project course. I reveal my process of theorising about problems of practice to position engineering educators' pedagogical theorising as worthy of…

Ulrika Uotila; Kimmo Keskiniva; Juha-Matti Junnonen; Arto Saari – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
To respond to construction industry-specific requirements for civil engineers, university teachers need to provide opportunities for students to develop their generic and professional skills. This article describes the use of a novel intervention of project-based learning -- PjBL with the consultative approach -- to teach Lean Construction and the…

Barak, Miri; Usher, Maya – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The study goal was to assess the innovation level of engineering students' team projects and to examine the relationships between project innovation and team heterogeneity in two online environments. Applying a two-stage mixed methods research design, the qualitative and quantitative data were obtained by interviews with experts in engineering…

Charosky, Guido; Hassi, Lotta; Papageorgiou, Kyriaki; Bragós, Ramon – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The gap between industry needs and engineering graduates' competences is being tackled by project-based courses, which also help to develop key innovation competences to address current societal challenges. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding about what innovation competences are developed through the different types of project-based…

Holland, Dónal P.; Walsh, Conor J.; Bennett, Gareth J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
The interpretation and reuse of previous design solutions, or precedents, is central to design. This paper describes qualitative research conducted over three years at two institutions, aimed at investigating the role of design knowledge re-use in project-based mechanical design courses. Research data were collected through participant…

Bartolomé, E.; Ruete, R. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
A "Study and Research Path" (SRP) is a model, based on the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD), which describes the inquiry processes that take place when a new, generating question (Q[subscript 0]) is considered. The investigation of the question through different study and inquiry approaches leads to a rooted tree sequence of…

Miranda, Marina; Saiz-Linares, Ángela; da Costa, Almudena; Castro, Jorge – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
In today's industry, employers are looking for civil engineering graduates who have acquired not only substantial technical and scientific knowledge, but who also have good life-long learning skills such as problem-solving, creativity and communication skills. Therefore, it is necessary to leave behind the pedagogical approaches exclusively…

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…

Li, Huaizhong; Öchsner, Andreas; Hall, Wayne – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
This paper introduced how a mechanical engineering course was redesigned by applying experiential learning theory to improve student engagement and learning experience. Design of machine elements has been considered by students to be a difficult course. Traditional teaching methods tend not to be effective in engaging students. Experiential…

Lutsenko, Galyna – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
The analysis of the current state of the Ukrainian system of engineering education indicates the prevalence of traditional teaching-learning approaches in contrast to the modern needs of the labour market. Many universities across the world use the problem/project-based learning (PBL) which is an effective approach for the development of design…
