Sola-Guirado, Rafael R.; Guerrero-Vacas, Guillermo; Rodríguez-Alabanda, Óscar – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering technologies (CAD/CAM/CAE) are a mainstay in today's industry and therefore they should be an important part in the current training plan of the graduate engineers. However, their implementation in the university environment presents certain barriers that make it difficult. In this work, we…

Fernandes, Sandra; Dinis-Carvalho, José; Ferreira-Oliveira, Ana Teresa – Education Sciences, 2021
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of Scrum for project and team management in PBL teams in higher education. To attain this goal, a study was carried out to analyze students' perceptions about Scrum as an effective method for PBL teams. Based on two different editions of PBL that used the Scrum method with different…

Hundhausen, C. D.; Conrad, P. T.; Carter, A. S.; Adesope, O. – Computer Science Education, 2022
Background and Context: Assessing team members' indivdiual contributions to software development projects poses a key problem for computing instructors. While instructors typically rely on subjective assessments, objective assessments could provide a more robust picture. To explore this possibility, In a 2020 paper, Buffardi presented a…

Santos, José; Escórcio, Patrícia – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has changed the way many civil engineers organise and execute their job in recent years. Many universities around the world have been adapting their curricula to include BIM education. However, this adaptation has been incomplete, occurring only in a small number of subjects. To fill this gap, this paper…

Hollister, Brad; Leon, Juan – International Journal on E-Learning, 2022
An introductory survey course in software engineering is now required at many accredited undergraduate institutions in the United States. The usual presentation of material consists of student projects that showcase design, development, and testing methodologies. While this approach does provide a foundation, students are left without professional…

Sunil Dehipawala; Kelvin Yao; Todd Holden; Tak Cheung – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
The damped harmonic oscillator physics problem is a standard oscillation problem in calculus physics for pre-engineering students in a community college. The use of alternative linear algebra eigenvalue stability method is consistent with the upper engineering courses using control theory. The external force and friction damping would become the…

Hulls, Carol C. W.; Rennick, Christopher – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: A first-year programming course was redesigned with a large, open-ended robotics project. The course design aligns with best practices for promoting development of students' self-efficacy in solving ill-structured software design problems. Background: From Jonassen's theory, problem-solving outcomes are dependent on the problem…

Alling, Sean; Knoesen, André – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
The onset of COVID-19 required drastic changes on how students interacted in EE-Emerge, a course where the students design and build exhibits demonstrating engineering to the public. COVID-19 was used as an opportunity to expose students on how teams in industry collaborate effectively on a project remotely across time zones, and how to…

Schulze-Buxloh, Lina; Grob, Rolf; Ulbrich, Michelle – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
The worldwide Corona pandemic has severely restricted student projects in the higher semesters of engineering courses. In order not to delay the graduation, a new concept had to be developed for projects under lockdown conditions. Therefore, unused rooms at the university should be digitally recorded in order to develop a new usage concept as…

Reinhart, Alex; Genovese, Christopher R. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Traditionally, statistical computing courses have taught the syntax of a particular programming language or specific statistical computation methods. Since Nolan and Temple Lang's seminal paper, we have seen a greater emphasis on data wrangling, reproducible research, and visualization. This shift better prepares students for careers working with…
