May, Dominik; Morkos, Beshoy; Jackson, Andrew; Hunsu, Nathaniel J.; Ingalls, Amy; Beyette, Fred – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic forced universities to suspend face-to-face instruction, prompting a rapid transition to online education. As many lab courses transitioned online, this provided a rare window of opportunity to learn about the challenges and affordances that the online lab experiences created for students and instructors. We present results…

Nikolic, Sasha; Ros, Montserrat; Jovanovic, Kosta; Stanisavljevic, Zarko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
The laboratory is an integral component of engineering education, resulting in a multitude of studies. Generally, the research focus is on the laboratory innovation, rather than learning itself. It is observed that empirical evidence is strongly built around student perceptions of their learning or experience via survey instruments; and in some…

Balakrishnan, B.; Woods, P. C. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
Over the years, rapid development in computer technology has engendered simulation-based laboratory (lab) in addition to the traditional hands-on (physical) lab. Many higher education institutions adopt simulation lab, replacing some existing physical lab experiments. The creation of new systems for conducting engineering lab activities has raised…

Hockicko, Peter; Krišták, Luboš; Nemec, Miroslav – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Video analysis, using the program Tracker (Open Source Physics), in the educational process introduces a new creative method of teaching physics and makes natural sciences more interesting for students. This way of exploring the laws of nature can amaze students because this illustrative and interactive educational software inspires them to think…

Engineering Perceptions of Female and Male K-12 Students: Effects of a Multimedia Overview on Elementary, Middle-, and High-School Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, Amy M.; Ozogul, Gamze; DiDonato, Matt D.; Reisslein, Martin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
Computer-based multimedia presentations employing animated agents (avatars) can positively impact perceptions about engineering; the current research advances our understanding of this effect to pre-college populations, the main target for engineering outreach. The study examines the effectiveness of a brief computer-based intervention with…
