Varagnolo, Damiano; Knorn, Steffi; Staffas, Kjell; Fjällström, Eva; Wrigstad, Tobias – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
In this paper, we propose a method to analyse the coherence of existing curricula at higher education institution. We focus our attention to engineering programmes at universities but the proposed method is by no means restricted to those cases. In contrast to other known methods, our approach is quantitative, decentralised, and asynchronous and…

Alalouch, Chaham – Education Sciences, 2021
Cognitive styles affect the learning process positively if tasks are matched to the cognitive style of learners. This effect becomes more pronounced in complex education, such as in engineering. We attempted to critically assess the effect of cognitive styles and gender on students' academic performance in eight engineering majors to understand…

Monteiro, Fátima; Leite, Carlinda; Rocha, Cristina – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
The recognition of the need and importance of including ethical and civic education in engineering courses, as well as the training profile on ethical issues, relies heavily on the engineer's concept and the perception of the engineering action. These views are strongly related to the different engineer education model conceptions and its…

Chang, Yevvon Yi-Chi; Chiou, Wen-Bin – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
Self-efficacy toward science learning has been shown to play a crucial role in determining students' motivation and achievements. Social cognitive theory proposes that positive and negative task outcomes affect mastery experiences from which self-efficacy develops. The current research examined whether prior level of self-efficacy would serve as a…

Yu, Kuang-Chao; Lin, Kuen-Yi; Chang, Shu-Fen – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
The purpose of this study was to develop a mechanical critical thinking scale for high school students. A stratified random sampling method was used to establish the norms. After pre-tests and item analysis, the scale was determined to have five subtest sections (i.e., recognition of assumptions, induction, deduction, interpretation, and…

Ugursal, V. Ismet; Cruickshank, Cynthia A. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Thermodynamics is a fundamental foundation of all engineering disciplines. A vast majority of engineering undergraduate programmes contain one or more courses on thermodynamics, and many engineers use thermodynamics every day to analyse or design energy systems. However, there is extensive anecdotal evidence as well as a wide range of published…

Virtic, Mateja Ploj; Šorgo, Andrej – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
Education has traditionally focused primarily on content and cognitive goals. While content knowledge is important, to enter to the labour market today, graduates must also develop manual skills and technical literacy. The paper deals with engineering and technology education in Slovenia. It portrays the problem of the decline in interest in…
