Davey, Kenneth – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
A detailed study of learning and teaching (L&T) of chemical engineering distillation to a mixed-ability small class of 13 students who are ordinarily full-time in-house employees in industry is reported. The course consisted of 9 × 2-h lectures (18 hours) and 9 × 2-h tutorials (18 hours). It was delivered over nine business days "in…

Kunioshi, Nílson; Noguchi, Judy; Tojo, Kazuko; Hayashi, Hiroko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
As English-medium instruction (EMI) spreads around the world, university teachers and students who are non-native speakers of English (NNS) need to put much effort into the delivery or reception of content. Construction of scientific meaning in the process of learning is already complex when instruction is delivered in the first language of the…

Harterich, Jorg; Kiss, Christine; Rooch, Aeneas; Monnigmann, Martin; Darup, Moritz Schulze; Span, Roland – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2012
First-year engineering students often complain about their mathematics courses as the significance of the difficult and abstract calculus to their field of study remains unclear. We report on the project "MathePraxis", a feasibility study which was designed as a means to give first-year students some impression about the use of…

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…

Shabani, R.; Massi, L.; Zhai, L.; Seal, S.; Cho, H. J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2011
In order to address the challenges and restrictions given by a traditional classroom lecture environment, the top-down and bottom-up nanotechnology teaching modules were developed, implemented and evaluated. Then based on the hypothesis that instructors could further develop students' interest in this emerging area through the introduction of the…

Hargreaves, D. J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1996
Describes the use of three questionnaires in assessing how students learn. Results of the study process questionnaire, the course experience questionnaire, and the learning style inventory indicate that lecturers need to change their teaching paradigm to one where the lecturer is closely involved in the learning context.

Weenk, Wim; Govers, Elly; Vlas, Helma – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2004
Several years of experience in training lecturers for developing and tutoring project-based learning (PBL) courses have resulted in a 'practise as you preach' based and flexible training programme. This programme was successfully incorporated in the teacher training programmes of the University of Twente and other universities and polytechnics in…
