Perig, Alexander V.; Golodenko, Nikolai N.; Skyrtach, Violetta M.; Kaikatsishvili, Alexander G. – European Journal of Contemporary Education, 2018
A physical process analogy of the learning process was studied using a hydraulic method. Detailed educational guidance describing applied pedagogical concepts for technical instructors of the civil, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering disciplines was formulated. A unified engineering-friendly formulation of learning processes using a…

Muller, Erich A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2012
The historical development of the classical postulates of the second law of Thermodynamics can be traced back to the book by Sadi Carnot, "Reflections on the motive power of fire." While unique in its own right and in some sense revolutionary, the book starts with an analogy between heat engines and waterwheels. Waterwheels were common engines of…

Knight, D. B.; Callaghan, D. P.; Baldock, T. E.; Meyer, J. H. F. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
The Threshold Concept Framework is used to initiate a dialogue on an empirically supported pedagogy that focuses on students' conceptual understanding required for solving application-based problems. The present paper uses a triangulation approach to identify the threshold concept in a third-year undergraduate civil engineering course on open…

Enriquez, Judith Guevarra – E-Learning, 2009
"Impact" is possibly the most frequently evaluated construct associated with any kind of technological diffusion or adoption within educational settings. Seemingly endless research projects are funded to measure it and to validate the educational value we have become adept at inscribing into practically all novel technologies brought to…
