Direct linkJihyun Rho; Martina A. Rau; Barry Van Veen – Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Background: Visual representations are pervasive in electrical engineering instruction in various instructional settings. Further, electrical engineering instruction often requires students to extend simple visual representations to learn about more complex visualization in subsequent instruction. Yet, students often struggle to understand…

Hsing, Hsiang-Wen; Bairaktarova, Diana; Lau, Nathan – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Spatial problem-solving is an essential skill for success in many engineering disciplines; thus, understanding the cognitive processes involved could help inform the design of training interventions for students trying to improve this skill. Prior research has yet to investigate the differences in cognitive processes between spatial…

Marra, Rose M.; Hacker, Douglas J.; Plumb, Carolyn – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Developing self-directed learning (SDL) skills in engineering students is critical to support life-long learning. This research was conducted at Iron Range Engineering (IRE), an innovative, problem-based learning (PBL) engineering program, which has suffused the concept of metacognition throughout its curriculum. Purpose/Hypotheses:…

Goller, Michael; Harteis, Christian; Gijbels, David; Donche, Vincent – Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Background: Internships are highly relevant learning experiences for engineering students. However, such practice-based learning settings must be carefully designed to allow their learning potential to unfold. Purpose: Exploring the job demands-control-support (JDCS) model, this study aimed to investigate how job demands, job control, and social…

McCord, Rachel E.; Matusovich, Holly M. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Background: The use of metacognition is critical to learning, especially in fields such as engineering that involve problem-solving and difficult conceptual material. Due to limitations with current methodological approaches, new methods are needed to investigate engineering students' metacognitive engagement in learning situations that are…

Stump, Glenda S.; Husman, Jenefer; Corby, Marcia – Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
Background: Students' beliefs about their intellectual ability influence their use of learning strategies, learning effort, and response to failure or setbacks. Students with incremental views of intelligence believe that learning is possible with sufficient effort, whereas those with entity views believe that intelligence is a fixed quality and…
