Background: A body of literature has arisen analyzing and legitimating the emerging field of engineering education research (EER). Using concepts from the sociology of knowledge, EER can be described as a region because it has relationships both to other academic fields and to its field of practice. Of interest is the strength of boundaries…

The COVID-19 crisis has challenged engineering educators with unplanned moves to remote delivery, providing an opportunity to examine the implicit beliefs that drive pedagogical practices in engineering. Drawing on Godfrey's (2015) framework for engineering education culture, core beliefs about engineering as a way of doing emerged, including fear…

Case, Jennifer M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Most of the contemporary critiques of university teaching are variants of a central argument that sets up a polarity between socalled 'traditional' teaching, often termed 'teacher-centred' and 'transmissive', and approaches that by contrast are considered 'student-centred', often also referred to with the phrase 'active learning'. This editorial…

Case, Jennifer M.; Marshall, Delia – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2016
In contemporary times there is a renewed focus on the purposes of university education in science or engineering, especially in emerging economy contexts like South Africa where the massification of higher education is in its early stages. The contributions by Muller ("High Educ" 70(3):409-416, 2015) and Walker ("High Educ"…

Heydenrych, Hilton; Case, Jennifer M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Surveys of graduate destinations typically suffer from relatively low response rates and therefore this study sought to develop a new methodology for tracking graduate destinations using LinkedIn. Research in this area with engineering graduates has also been limited, and thus this study, focusing on chemical engineering graduates from the…

Case, Jennifer M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
Recent times have seen significant realignment of engineering degrees globally, most notably in the Washington Accord, a system of mutual recognition of accreditation across much of the Anglophone world and beyond, and the Bologna Process, impacting significantly on the form of engineering degrees in Europe. This article, tracing the historical…

Case, Jennifer M.; Fraser, Duncan M.; Kumar, Anil; Itika, Ambrose – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Curriculum reform is a key topic in the engineering education literature, but much of this discussion proceeds with little engagement with the impact of the local context in which the programme resides. This article thus seeks to understand the influence of local contextual dynamics on curriculum reform in engineering education. The empirical…

Case, Jennifer M. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2015
Contemporary critiques of student learning research call for new theoretical and methodological approaches. This article proposes a social realist approach to this research, using the morphogenetic theory of sociologist Margaret Archer. The applicability of this approach is demonstrated by reference to an empirical study of engineering students at…

Case, Jennifer M. – Journal of College Student Development, 2016
Self-authorship, describing a synthesis of intellectual, intrapersonal, and interpersonal development, remains an evident but elusive goal of college education. I sought to track self-authorship in a racially diverse group of 30 young South African engineering graduates. In discussing their career trajectories, all individuals demonstrated…

Mogashana, Disaapele; Case, Jennifer M.; Marshall, Delia – Studies in Higher Education, 2012
Student learning inventories are used by both researchers and educators as tools to identify "at risk" students. This article critically interrogates the results of one of these inventories, the 18-item Approaches to Learning and Studying Inventory. In-depth interviews were held with a purposive sample of 10 first-year engineering…

Collier-Reed, Brandon I.; Case, Jennifer M.; Stott, Angela – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
There is a growing literature on the educational benefits of using podcasting of lectures in higher education, but to date little research that interrogates closely its impact on student learning. The present study investigated how students used lecture podcasts produced in two engineering courses at a South African university. The findings…

In this paper we propose that learning in engineering involves taking on the discourse of an engineering community, which is intimately bound up with the identity of being a member of that community. This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…

Collier-Reed, Brandon I.; Case, Jennifer M.; Linder, Cedric – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
This article reports on an investigation into the different ways that pupils interact with technological artefacts. The results are discussed in the context of the need for first-year "introduction to engineering" courses to develop ways to provide students with an environment that facilitates their meaningful interaction with…

Case, Jennifer M.; Marshall, Delia – International Journal of Educational Research, 2008
In this paper we explore an alternative way of characterising the student learning experience, drawing on sociocultural perspectives on learning. Here, learning is not merely the application of an approach to a cognitive task, but a social process of identity formation. In particular, we draw on Gee's concept of Discourse models to identify the…
