Trevion S. Henderson – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Existing research points to the role of Eurocentric epistemic values - scientific objectivity, value-neutrality, depoliticization, and technical rationality - as a cornerstone of engineering ways of thinking, knowing, and doing. However, less is known about the role of Eurocentric epistemologies in team communication and decision…

Marissa L. Gray; Celinda M. Kofron – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
We have implemented a jigsaw framework in our biomedical engineering capstone design course by overlaying strategic consideration groups across our design teams. Collaboration in design courses is usually focused within a design team with some peer feedback, but opportunities to work across teams are often limited. The purpose of this teaching tip…

Frederick R. Missel; Jeremy V. Ernst; Daniel P. Kelly; Erik Schettig; Aaron C. Clark – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2023
For students to gain the most out of education, they need to form long-term memories from experiences gained through active learning. The greatest distinction between active learning and traditional approaches involves the types of tasks and problems the students are challenged to solve. Active learning activities should be structured with student…

Sylvain Luc Agbanglanon; Thomas Lecorre; Vassilis Komis; Alain Jaillet – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
This study explores the relationship between collaborative dynamics, expressed through observed leadership behaviour, and skills. It is based on the mechanical design activity of six dyads of students (post-secondary vocational training), composed of 11 boys and one girl, who are improving an existing mechanical system. Actions are studied using…

Ghorashi, Bahman – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
Due to the structured format of most engineering courses, the number of opportunities for engineering students to view matters differently from the traditional ways is limited. Therefore, a mandatory requirement was introduced into three engineering courses for students to propose an out of the ordinary solution to certain technical problems,…

Rees Lewis, Daniel G.; Carlson, Spencer E.; Riesbeck, Christopher K.; Gerber, Elizabeth M.; Easterday, Matthew W. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: To create design solutions experienced engineering designers engage in expert iterative practice. Researchers find that students struggle to learn this critical engineering design practice, particularly when tackling real-world engineering design problems. Purpose/Hypothesis: To improve our ability to teach iteration, this study…

Navneet Kaur; Chandan Dasgupta – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Background: Dealing with uncertainties is inherent in the engineering design process and often poses challenges for young learners. This necessitates providing learners with adequate support to navigate their uncertainties effectively. However, achieving this requires a deeper understanding of the factors influencing learners' uncertainty…

Steven C. Koenig; Gretel Monreal – Design and Technology Education, 2025
Purpose: Biomedical engineers that have the ability and skill sets to comprehend and retain basic anatomy and physiology (A&P) knowledge, apply fundamental engineering principles, use critical thinking, and communicate effectively across multiple disciplines to facilitate successful development and clinical translation of medical devices. The…

Anastasia M. Schauer; Jessie Liu; Christopher Saldaña; Katherine Fu – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: Even among women who persist in the gender-imbalanced engineering fields, women on engineering design teams tend to take on non-technical roles. Understanding the mechanisms that inform this phenomenon is important for encouraging more women in STEM in order to close the gender gap. Although factors such as self-efficacy, task…

Loh, A. P.; Law, Elliot; Putra, Andi Sudjana; Koh, Edwin; Zuea, Tang Kok; Tat, Khoo Eng – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
A quick literature survey shows that Engineering education has been undergoing change since more than a hundred years ago, largely due to the needs of industry. The current drive for change is not very different and comes from the perception that Engineering graduates of today are not able to function effectively in the workplace. This is in part…

Recently, design thinking has become recognized as a necessity for every student, especially when they engage in design-based learning, as a pedagogical approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. However, design-based learning is mostly based on forward engineering, in which students' design thinking can be nurtured…

Arastoopour Irgens, Golnaz – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
Virtual learning environments have the potential to support students' development of design skills in engineering education. However, few approaches exist for modeling and measuring design learning as it emerges in authentic practices, which often includes collaboration. This study merges learning sciences research with engineering design…

Brisco, Ross; Whitfield, Robert Ian; Grierson, Hilary – Design and Technology Education, 2022
Based on observations of global design classes at different institutions, students selected technologies without justification for the suitability of the technology to support their collaborative design activities. To best support students in their collaborative endeavours, a short online course in computer-supported collaborative design was…
