In this article, we preliminarily discuss the limitations of current video conferencing platforms in online synchronous learning. Research has shown that while the involved technologies are appropriate for collaborative video calls, they often fail to replicate the rich nature of face-to-face interactions among students and between students and…

This research aims to investigate the impact of peer-evaluated internship activities centered on artificial intelligence on engineering students, specifically focusing on their virtual learning competencies, attitudes towards artificial intelligence, and ascertain student perspectives. For this purpose, mixed-methods research has been used. In…

This paper presents the experimental work developed to measure the learning process through concept map analysis. The development of a concept map is requested by the students for each chapter or theme of the subject. As a result, maps from engineering courses have been analyzed. The measurements carried out consider several parameters, such as…

Most previous studies have focused on learners' self-efficacy in face-to-face learning environments, while few have delved into that of MOOC learners. No research has touched upon the MOOC self-efficacy of engineering students in developed and developing countries. This research compared the self-efficacy levels of engineering students in Taiwan…

Open and distance learning (ODL) often faces challenges in student motivation and engagement. This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of a virtual laboratory-assisted microlearning platform in enhancing student motivation and engagement. Using a quasi-experimental methodology, 52 students from higher education institutions in Indonesia…

The need to integrate online learning tools into higher education, accelerated by advancements in technology, coupled with past realities that challenge physical engagements such as the COVID19 pandemic, is now an established reality (Li, 2022; Thomas & Abanikannda, 2023). Globally, it is correct to assert that the integration of technology…

In conventional laboratories, engineering students must attend in person to conduct experiments with real equipment in a physical place, where their work is mainly assessed through self-reports and attendance records. By comparison, online labs can record and analyze students' activities and behaviors automatically. Thus, this article proposes a…

Begun in the mid-90s, computers have long been a staple in teaching mathematics to engineering students. In recent years, with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the arrival of Generation Z in tertiary education, the role of blended learning has increased. This paper highlights some of the greater challenges and successes of the transition…

The present study is a combination of qualitative and quantitative research in order to determine the impact on virtual teaching and learning methods, particularly in technical courses. The research is an attempt to demonstrate that the tools, practices, methodology, and so on that have been used are ineffective for technical courses because they…

Students' perceptions towards synchronous and asynchronous online delivery modes of three engineering courses, in a large UK university is conceptualised, inspired by the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework. Using a qualitative methodology, 76 written student narratives were analysed. An overwhelming focus on the elements that helped them…

Background: Despite its obvious relevance to computer science, computational thinking (CT) is transdisciplinary with the potential of impacting one's analytical ability. Although countless efforts have been invested across K-12 education, there is a paucity of research at the postsecondary level about the extent to which CT can contribute to…

Contribution: This article explores the impact of the combination of various pedagogical approaches to deliver high-quality learning experiences for online-based engineering students. Though existing research extensively studied online education approaches, limited research has investigated how to bridge the gap between online cloud-based and…

Problem-posing has been recognized for enhancing students' engagement, problem-solving skills, and mathematical knowledge, which leads to higher mathematics achievement. This research is experimental research with a randomized comparison groups pre-test and post-test design, which aims to examine the effect of using online problem-posing to…

Design interviews with stakeholders are an important source of information that engineering designers can use to identify stakeholder needs and develop solutions that meet stakeholder requirements. However, engineering students often struggle to conduct effective design interviews. In this study, we investigated changes in engineering students'…

In Engineering Design education, huge numbers of students are a challenge in university teaching, especially since the students have an initially heterogeneous level of technical knowledge, which influences their acquisition of competences. In frontal classroom lectures, individual deficits can hardly be addressed and in self-study phases,…
