Li, Jessica; Han, Seung-hyun; Fu, Shengli – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2019
It is a commonly accepted notion that people take different approaches in learning. Although attention has been given to learning styles as one of the determinants of learning performance, there is are limitations to the inferential approach to understanding the impact of learning styles on learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to…

Baukal, Charles E.; Ausburn, Lynna J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
Continuing engineering education (CEE) is important to ensure engineers maintain proficiency over the life of their careers. However, relatively few studies have examined designing effective training for working engineers. Research has indicated that both learner instructional preferences and prior knowledge can impact the learning process, but it…

Mantri, Archana – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
The intent of the study presented in this paper is to show that the model of problem-based learning (PBL) can be made scalable by designing curriculum around a set of open-ended problems (OEPs). The detailed statistical analysis of the data collected to measure the effects of traditional and PBL instructions for three courses in Electronics and…

Baukal, Charles E.; Ausburn, Lynna J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Many have argued for increased continuing education for working engineers, but relatively little research has been done on how to most effectively teach that group. Many have also recommended using learner characteristics to enhance learning, but relatively little is known about the learner characteristics of working engineers. In the study…

Chua, K. J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
This study aims to compare and evaluate the learning ability and performance differences between two groups of students undergoing project-based learning (PjBL), with one group having prior PjBL experience, while the other group is being freshly exposed to PjBL. More specifically, it examines if there are significant differences in knowledge…

Patterson, Eann A.; Campbell, Patricia B.; Busch-Vishniac, Ilene; Guillaume, Darrell W. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2011
The self-belief, motivation, tendency to procrastinate and learning styles of engineering students are discussed. It is proposed that engineering has developed an idiom and a learning approach that favours the dominant client, i.e. men, while simultaneously undermining the self-efficacy and motivation of women. Thematic coherence and teaching…

Maceiras, Rocio; Cancela, Angeles; Urrejola, Santiago; Sanchez, Angel – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2011
The objective of this work is to share the authors' experience towards a different mode of teaching/learning method. Cooperative learning (Jigsaw) was employed on the University of Vigo's fourth-year engineering students. The results of the experience show that cooperative learning is quite a viable alternative to the classical way of lecturing at…

Joyner, Fredricka F.; Mann, Derek T. Y.; Harris, Todd – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2012
Key macro-trends are combining to create a new work context for the practice of engineering. Telecommuting and virtual teams create myriad possibilities and challenges related to managing work and workers. Social network technology tools allow for unprecedented global, 24/7 collaboration. Globalization has created hyper-diverse organizations,…

Brush, Denise A. – Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2010
While interactive hands-on instruction is usually considered the best approach for engineering students for both their academic courses and for library instruction, the size of the engineering student population compared to the number of instructors and the available classroom space means that engineering librarians, like engineering faculty, may…

Jablokow, Kathryn; Vercellone-Smith, Pamela – Advances in Engineering Education, 2011
With the rise of e-Learning in engineering education, understanding the impact of individual differences on the ways students communicate and collaborate on-line has become increasingly important. The research described here investigates the influence of cognitive style on the interactions within student social networks in an on-line learning…

Augustinova, Maria; Collange, Julie; Sanitioso, Rasyid Bo; Musca, Serban C. – Cognition, 2011
This research shows that the motivation to posses a desired characteristic (or to avoid an undesired one) results in self-perceptions that guide people's use of base rate in the Lawyer-Engineer problem (Kahneman & Tversky, 1973). In four studies, participants induced to believe (or recall, Exp. 2) that a rational cognitive style is…

Sankar, Chetan S.; Raju, P. K. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2011
In this paper, we integrate organizational, engineering education, and educational learning literature to develop a model of student learning so as to research how learning style, behavioral tendencies, gender, and race have the potential to act as facilitators or barriers to the learning process. We argue that the gains in higher-order cognitive…

Santhanam, Elizabeth; Paulusz, Wendy – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2009
The Faculty of Engineering in an Australian university collaborated with a central academic/educational development unit to design and deliver a teaching development program for all engineering teaching assistants (TAs). This paper discusses the approach taken to promote inclusive education in engineering in a situation with competing priorities.…

Sattler, Brook; Turns, Jennifer; Gygi, Kathleen – Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (NJ1), 2009
It is considered good practice to teach with an awareness that groups of students will not be homogeneous, and will differ. Research tells educators to take into account specific student differences, including learning styles, socio-economic status, race, and culture. This important issue has been debated and discussed; however, little has been…

Garcia, Oscar N.; Varanasi, Murali R.; Acevedo, Miguel F.; Guturu, Parthasarathy – Advances in Engineering Education, 2011
We analyze and study the beginning of a new Electrical Engineering Department, supported by an NSF Departmental Level Reform award, within a new College of Engineering in the 21st Century and also describe the academic approach and influences of an innovative cognitive-based approach to curriculum development. In addition, the approach taken…
