Pessoa, M. V. Pereira – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Real-world design settings can be complex, ill-structured, open and typically uncertain and/or ambiguous about their goals and solution paths. This study contributes to understanding how to work with these types of problems in a course project setting. The main objective of the study is to identify, propose and validate a set of practical…

Teixeira, Jose Carlos Fernandes; da Silva, Jaime Ferreira; Flores, Paulo – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
The implementation of the Bologna protocol in the European Union has set new goals for the whole higher education system as: (a) a quality assessment for university courses; (b) a framework for the exchange of students and academics; and (c) an opportunity for changing the teaching/learning procedures and methodologies. Within the context, the…

Ringwood, J. V.; Monaghan, K.; Maloco, J. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
This paper examines a particular methodology of teaching engineering design to undergraduate engineering students, which relies on Lego[R] Mindstorms[TM]. A number of important issues are addressed, including the timing of the design module within the programme, prior knowledge required and assessment components. The module, which has been running…

Said, S. M.; Adikan, F. R. Mahamd; Mekhilef, S.; Rahim, N. Abd – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
This paper presents the application of the problem-based learning (PBL) method as an innovative approach to teaching engineering. This paper supports the idea that the PBL method is aptly suited to teaching the engineering disciplines, as its methodology nurtures critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are central to a graduate's…

Davis, Claire; Wilcock, Elizabeth – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
The use of case studies to teach materials science undergraduates is an exciting and interesting educational approach. As well as helping learners to connect theory and practice, the case method is also useful for creating an active learning environment, developing key skills and catering for a range of different learning styles. This paper…
