Deborah E. Carberry; Jonas S. Neergaard-Nielsen; Evert Van Nieuwenburg; Martin P. Andersson – Discover Education, 2024
In this study, we develop and test a board game to introduce quantum computing to engineering students. The instructional approach is informed by peer instruction and flow theory. To begin, Bloom's taxonomy is leveraged to profile the intended learning outcomes (ILO's) from a master's course in Quantum Information. This is followed by a filtering…

Contribution: A roadmap is provided for building a quantum engineering education program to satisfy U.S. national and international workforce needs. Background: The rapidly growing quantum information science and engineering (QISE) industry will require both quantum-aware and quantum-proficient engineers at the bachelor's level. Research Question:…

Sethy, Satya Sundar – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
"Professional Ethics" has been offered as a compulsory course to undergraduate engineering students in a premier engineering institution of India. It was noticed that students' perceptions and attitudes were frivolous and ornamental towards this course. Course instructors and institution authorities were motivated to find out the factors…

Lai, Polly K.; Portolese, Alisha; Jacobson, Michael J. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
This paper presents a study that applied both "productive failure" (PF) and "authentic learning" instructional approaches in online learning activities for early-career process engineers' professional development. This study compares participants learning with either a PF (low-to-high [LH]) or a more traditional (high-to-low)…

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…

Burke, Barry N. – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2014
When the "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS") document, (NRC, 2013) was released in April 2013, teachers in the profession had mixed emotions. Many viewed the standards as invasive to their classrooms, while others found them a refreshing take on what technology and engineering educators have been doing for years.…

Baukal, Charles E., Jr.; Ausburn, Lynna J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Many have argued for the importance of continuing engineering education (CEE), but relatively few recommendations were found in the literature for how to use multimedia technologies to deliver it most effectively. The study reported here addressed this gap by investigating the multimedia category preferences of working engineers. Four categories…

Gamze Ozogul; Jana Reisslein; Martin Reisslein – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2016
Even though engineering outreach to K-12 schools initially seemed to be a simple undertaking, it proved to require complex design solutions related to a variety of issues. The purpose of this design case is to tell the story of our National Science Foundation (NSF) supported engineering outreach project, that took place between the years of…

Muchlas – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2015
This research is aimed to produce a teaching model and its supporting instruments using a collaboration approach for a digital technique practical work attended by higher education students. The model is found to be flexible and relatively low cost. Through this research, feasibility and learning impact of the model will be determined. The model…

Stanton, Ken C.; Bradley, Thomas H. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
Assessment has become a central aspect of engineering education for evaluating student learning, attaining accreditation, and ensuring accountability. However, the final step of the assessment process, which requires assessment results be used to redesign courses and programmes, is appreciably underdeveloped in the literature. As such, this work…

Caeiro-Rodriguez, Manuel; Anido-Rifon, Luis; Llamas-Nistal, Martin – Educational Technology & Society, 2010
Educational Modelling Languages (EMLs) have been proposed to enable the authoring of models of "learning units" (e.g., courses, lessons, lab practices, seminars) covering the broad variety of pedagogical approaches. In addition, some EMLs have been proposed as computational languages that support the processing of learning unit models by…

Roberts, Amanda Shackleford – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The purpose of this study was to identify the preferred instructional design strategies for the preparation of pre-service teachers who will deliver integrated STEM lessons. The research objectives were threefold and included identifying a preferred definition of integrated STEM education, developing its purpose statement, and creating a list of…

Leland, Robert P. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2010
Pair programming was introduced into a course in engineering graphics that emphasizes solid modeling using SolidWorks. In pair programming, two students work at a single computer, and periodically trade off roles as driver (hands on the keyboard and mouse) and navigator (discuss strategy and design issues). Pair programming was used in a design…
