Trevelyan, James – Advances in Engineering Education, 2016
Research on engineering practice is scarce and sharing of qualitative research data can reduce the effort required for an aspiring researcher to obtain enough data from engineering workplaces to draw generalizable conclusions, both qualitative and quantitative. This paper describes how a large shareable qualitative data set on engineering…

Kittur, H.; Shaw, L.; Herrera, W. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2017
The High School Summer Research Program (HSSRP) is a rigorous eight-week research experience that challenges high school students to a novel scientific question in an engineering laboratory at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The program collates highly…

Potter, Patricia – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2013
Design and problem-solving is a key learning focus in technology education and remains a distinguishing factor that separates it from other subject areas. This research investigated how two expert designers considered experiences with hard materials contributed to their learning design and problem-solving with these materials. The research project…

Yamaguchi, Ryoko; Hall, Adam – National Center for Education Research, 2016
This compendium organizes information on the math and science projects sponsored by NCER and NCSER into two main sections: Mathematics and Science. Within each section, projects are sorted into chapters based on content area, grade level, and intended outcome. In determining the chapters, we considered the emerging college- and career-readiness…

Morgan, Joe; Zhan, Wei; Leonard, Matt – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
To increase the interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) among high school students, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) created the "High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware" (HUNCH) program. To enhance the experience of the students, NASA sponsored two additional projects that require…

Courses for Teaching Leadership Capacity in Professional Engineering Degrees in Australia and Europe
Khattak, Hamid; Ku, Harry; Goh, Steven – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2012
Recently, many educational institutions across the globe have implemented engineering leadership programmes either as a part of a formal engineering curriculum or where leadership development is embedded into separate in-house programmes. This shows the clear intent of these educational institutions to prepare their engineering students for…

Urias, David; Wartman, Joseph; Gallagher, Patricia – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2012
Undergraduate research experiences can be highly effective in motivating students to pursue advanced degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). An important task for those who oversee undergraduate research programs is to determine if, in addition to producing quality research, the program is achieving its…

Thambyah, Ashvin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2011
The course for the final year project for engineering students, because of its strongly research-based, open-ended format, tends to not have well defined learning outcomes, which are also not aligned with any accepted pedagogical philosophy or learning technology. To address this problem, the revised Bloom's taxonomy table of Anderson and…

Jaworski, Barbara; Matthews, Janette – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2011
Engineering Students Understanding Mathematics (ESUM) is a developmental research project at a UK university. The motivating aim is that engineering students should develop a more conceptual understanding of mathematics through their participation in an innovation in teaching. A small research team has both studied and contributed to innovation,…

Daugherty, Jenny – National Center for Engineering and Technology Education, 2012
Engineering has gained considerable traction in many K-12 schools. However, there are several obstacles or challenges to an effective approach that leads to student learning. Questions such as where engineering best fits in the curriculum; how to include it authentically and appropriately; toward what educational end; and how best to prepare…

Pierce, Joana; Robisco, Maria del Mar – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2010
Higher education institutions across Europe are currently involved in a major process of reforming and restructuring as part of the Bologna process which stresses the role of competences and outcomes in curriculum design. This paper reports on the findings of a research project whose purpose was to assess the clarity and the appropriate…

Hadzigeorgiou, Yannis; Garganourakis, Vassilios – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2010
This paper reports on an action research project undertaken with the primary aim of investigating the extent to which situations that evoke a sense of wonder can promote scientific inquiry. Given the intense interest, curiosity, and wonder that some students had begun to develop after seeing the film "The Prestige", a science teacher…

Yorke-Barber, Phil; Ghiculescu, Cristina; Possin, Gisela – Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2009
RefWorks is ideally suited for undergraduate students with team-based research projects as part of their course assessment. The Dorothy Hill Physical Sciences and Engineering Library at the University of Queensland taught students from three engineering courses how to use RefWorks to manage project references and to create team-based…

Asiabanpour, Bahram – Contemporary Issues in Education Research, 2010
In this paper a novel outreach approach to high school students to familiarize them with engineering functions and methods is explained. In this approach students participated in a seven days research camp and learned many engineering skills and tools such as CAD solid modeling, finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, mechanical tests, team…

Gedney, Matt – SRA Journal of the Society of Research Administrators, 1994
A recent mechanical engineering research contract between the Georgia Institute of Technology and an international industrial manufacturer contains a clause providing an incentive for cost containment. The measure helps bridge the gap between the expectations of an industrial sponsor and the needs of the university. (Author/MSE)
