Fernandez-Arias, Pablo; Anton-Sancho, Alvaro; Barrientos-Fernandez, Amelia; Vergara-Rodriguez, Diego – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
The importance of soft skills in the professional work of an engineer is becoming increasingly important, even more so since the emergence of COVID-19 boosted the digitization of all professional sectors. In order for future engineers to acquire this type of skills, it is necessary for engineering professors to have an optimal level of technical…

Shekhar, Prateek – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Background: Entrepreneurship education has gained significant attention in engineering. This has led to the widespread development of engineering entrepreneurship programs (EEPs) that instill entrepreneurial skills and mindsets in engineering graduates. While research has documented the benefits of EEPs, there is a paucity of research examining…

Dutta, Nikita S.; Arnold, Craig B. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This work sheds light on how classmate behaviors influence gender gaps in verbal participation in lecture-based engineering classes. It is found that after a woman participates in class, there is a temporarily increased likelihood a woman will participate again afterward. Background: Women continue to be underrepresented in STEM…

Gómez, Josefa; Tayebi, Abdelhamid; Delgado, Carlos – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This article explores the factors favoring the enrollment in engineering studies in Spain, analyzing gender differences. Background: Understanding the motivation of choosing engineering studies is very important in order to strengthen this choice in future promotions in Spain, considering that it is well below the average of the…

Riese, Emma; Stenbom, Stefan – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This study evaluates the generalizability of previously identified perceptions among engineering students of assessments in introductory programming (CS1). The students' perceptions of their instructors' and teaching assistants' (TAs) roles in these assessments are also studied, and differences based on prior programming experience,…

Danowitz, Andrew; Beddoes, Kacey – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: Screening rates for engineering students for several major and moderate mental health issues are reported, including unspecified psychological distress as captured by the Kessler 6 screening instrument; screening rates for depressive, anxiety, and eating disorders as measured by the patient health questionnaire (PHQ); and screening…

Young, Kat; Lovedee-Turner, Michael; Brereton, Jude; Daffern, Helena – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper provides evidence of the lack of gender diversity at audio engineering conferences, using a novel and inclusive gender determination method to produce a new dataset of author gender. Background: Audio engineering has historically been male-dominated; while the number of non-male audio engineers has increased recently, the…

Anwar, Saira; Menekse, Muhsin – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: The study provides empirical evidence and a deeper understanding of COVID-19's impact on first-year engineering (FYE) students' learning experiences and motivation while accounting for gender and race/ethnicity-based variations. Background: In the Spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced campuses to close and shift unexpectedly to…

Kapitsaki, Georgia M.; Loizou Kleanthous, Styliani; Papadopoulos, George A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: Results and conclusions on the use of transactive memory system (TMS) in software engineering (SE) education in student project teams that consist of undergraduate and postgraduate students are documented. This can be valuable for the adoption of this learning approach and team formation by other universities and institutes.…

Hirshfield, Laura J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: This paper argues for a shift in how students' team project experiences are assessed. Findings from this paper suggest that it is not enough to consider student-reported data in assessing team dynamics; hidden gendered behavior may be impacting students in ways that students do not realize or report. Background: Although the number…

Potvin, Geoff; McGough, Catherine; Benson, Lisa; Boone, Hank J.; Doyle, Jacqueline; Godwin, Allison; Kirn, Adam; Ma, Beverly; Rohde, Jacqueline; Ross, Monique; Verdin, Dina – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: The current study finds that female-identified students report stronger associations between "helping others" and interest in bioengineering/biomedical engineering than non-females, while they report less interest in electrical and computer engineering overall, with similar associations to factors such as…

Olmedo-Torre, Noelia; Sanchez Carracedo, Fermin; Salan Ballesteros, M. Nuria; Lopez, David; Perez-Poch, Antoni; Lopez-Beltran, Mireia – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: Stereotypes and immediate environment are the reasons for low enrollment of women in STEM studies. Background: The low number of women in STEM degree courses has been the subject of much research, which has found that the lack of female enrollment is not evenly distributed across all STEM studies. In some areas, such as computing,…
