Linda N. Laursen; Thomas Ryberg – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
This paper contributes to current discussions of digital teaching and technology within the field of engineering design education. We enter this dialogue by analysing a hybrid digital learning design for a 15-ECTS engineering design course. The course design pedagogically integrates principles from networked learning research, Problem-Based…

Bernstein, Debra; Puttick, Gillian; Wendell, Kristen; Shaw, Fayette; Danahy, Ethan; Cassidy, Michael – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
In most middle schools, learning is segregated by discipline. Yet interdisciplinary approaches have been shown to cultivate creative thinking, support problem solving, and develop interest while supporting knowledge gains (NAE & NRC in STEM Integration in K-12 Education: Status, Prospects, and an Agenda for Research. National Academies Press,…

Luiz Ney d'Escoffier; Dan Jiang; Aida Guerra; Andres Felipe Valderrama Pineda; Imad Abou-Hayt – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Despite an emerging emphasis on the role of engineers in achieving the SDGs, there is still a lack of agreement on which competencies should be prioritised to prepare them to tackle future sustainability challenges. By formulating a theoretical framework of key sustainable competencies based on prior studies, this study investigated engineering…

Zeid, Abe – Athens Journal of Education, 2020
Teaching STEM concepts to today's high school students has been challenging. Span of attention is short. Students are glued to their electronic devices. They cannot appreciate the abstract method of teaching, meaning covering concepts followed by solving problems from a textbook. Research has shown that students become excited and motivated to…

Miranda, Constanza; Goñi, Julian; Hilliger, Isabel – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
While teamwork has been a central concern in engineering education, little research has systematically examined how conflict is managed in engineering teams of students. Socio-constructivism provides a solid base to explain how teamwork can foster innovation through the use of cultural artifacts, such as "boundary objects." The purpose…
