Chuchalin, Alexander; Malmqvist, Johan; Tayurskaya, Marina – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
The paper presents the approach to complex training of managers and faculty staff for system modernisation of Russian engineering education. As a methodological basis of design and implementation of the faculty development programme, the CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) Approach was chosen due to compliance of its concept to the purposes…

Hennig, Markus; Mertsching, Bärbel; Hilkenmeier, Frederic – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
The initial phase of undergraduate engineering degree programmes often comprises courses requiring mathematical expertise which in some cases clearly exceeds school mathematics, but will be imparted only later in mathematics courses. In this article, an approach addressing this challenge by way of example within a "fundamentals of electrical…

Kamp, L. M.; De Jong, F.; Ravesteijn, W. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2008
Lots of papers are being published about e-learning in engineering education. In these papers, positive experiences and aspects seem to overshadow negative ones. However, there are still some problematic sides worth studying. In order to improve its quality these should receive broad attention too. We present an explicit two-sided evaluation of…

Rothberg, S. J.; Lamb, F. M.; Willis, L. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2006
This paper gives a synopsis of an extensive programme of case studies on real uses of computer-assisted learning (CAL) materials within UK engineering degree programmes. The programme was conducted between 2000 and 2003 and followed a questionnaire-based survey looking at CAL use in the UK and in Australia. The synopsis reveals a number of key…

Smith, Nicholas; Monk, Martin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
This paper reports a survey of 16 to 17 year old students who took part in a school based project activity designed to motivate them to consider a career in engineering. The scheme can be considered a success in that an uppermost estimated figure of 19% more students were recruited to engineering undergraduate courses than might otherwise have…

Smith, Nicholas; Monk, Martin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2005
This paper reports a survey of the progress of participants in a year in industry scheme for A' level graduates in the UK typically aged 18/19. The scheme involves spending a supervised year in industry prior to a degree programme in engineering. The evidence shows that the year in industry: has a beneficial effect on the degree classification of…
