Nogueira, Teresa; Magano, José; Fontão, Eunice; Sousa, Marina; Leite, Angela – Education Sciences, 2021
An essential aspect of higher education institutions' academic curricula for engineering courses is the students' industrial internship programs. In the literature, it is well accepted that such programs provide valuable learning outcomes and increase the graduates' employment prospects. Thus, it is paramount to evaluate the internship programs'…

Catarino, Paula; Nascimento, Maria M.; Morais, Eva; Campos, Helena; Vasco, Paulo – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
In higher education, engineering students have to be prepared for their future jobs, with knowledge but also with several soft skills, among them creativity. In this paper, we present a study carried on with 128 engineering undergraduate students on their understanding of mathematical creativity. The students were in the first year of different…

Malheiro, Benedita; Guedes, Pedro; Silva, Manuel F.; Ferreira, Paulo – Education Sciences, 2019
Engineering education addresses the development of professional competencies in undergraduates. In this context, the core set of professional competencies includes critical thinking and problem solving, effective communication, collaboration and team building, and creativity and innovation--also known as the four Cs--as well as socio-professional…

Silva, Arlindo; Fontul, Mihail; Henriques, Elsa – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Engineering design is known as an answer to an ill-defined problem. As any answer to an ill-defined problem, it can never be completely right or absolutely wrong. The methods that universities use to teach engineering design, as a consequence of this, suffer from the same fate. However, the accumulated experience with the "chalk and…

Duarte, Abel J.; Malheiro, Benedita; Arnó, Elisabet; Perat, Ignasi; Silva, Manuel F.; Fuentes-Durá, Pedro; Guedes, Pedro; Ferreira, Paulo – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2020
Contribution: An analysis of the extent to which sustainability is present in the syllabi, project briefs, report templates, and student final reports of the three Iberian European project semester (EPS) providers, over a five-year period. Background: EPS is a one-semester capstone project framework that adopts project-based learning and…

Ahern, Aoife; Dominguez, Caroline; McNally, Ciaran; O'Sullivan, John J.; Pedrosa, Daniela – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
Developing optimum solutions to engineering problems typically relies on structured and complex thought processes that require evaluation, interpretation and opinion. Well-developed critical thinking (CT) skills are essential for dealing with the multi-dimensional nature of these problems. CT in an engineering context is well reported in teaching…

Oliveira, Paulo C.; Oliveira, Cristina G. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
In this paper, we present a teaching proposal used in an Introductory Physics course to civil engineering students from Porto's Engineering Institute/Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP). The proposal was born from the need to change students' perception and motivation for learning physics. It consists in the use of an integrator…

Malheiro, Benedita; Silva, Manuel; Ribeiro, Maria Cristina; Guedes, Pedro; Ferreira, Paulo – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Current engineering education challenges require approaches that promote scientific, technical, design and complementary skills while fostering autonomy, innovation and responsibility. The European Project Semester (EPS) at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) (EPS@ISEP) is a one semester project-based learning programme (30 European…
