Cosgrove, Thomas; O'Reilly, John – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Engineering education is appropriately concerned with technical problem solving. However, the philosophical tradition has periodically asserted that technical rationality is but one mode of rationality. Informed by experience in both design practice and engineering education the authors agree with Donald Schön that professional artistry is an…

Zhang, Duo – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
As a learner-centered pedagogy, project-based learning (PBL) is recognized to improve students' engagement and long-term learning effectiveness. The present PBL practices are based on instructor-defined topics and are assigned as a partial or full substitution of traditional assessments. Here, open-topic PBL as an opt-in activity is proposed and…

Guimaraes, Leovani Marcial; da Silva Lima, Renato – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This article presents a novel approach that demonstrates how students' learning can be improved by increasing classroom adherence to active learning (AL) application, in a typical engineering education (EE) environment. It does that by using classroom observation protocol data and student assessment grades analyzed by a statistical…

Oguz Unver, Ayse; Okulu, Hasan Zuhtu – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2022
One of the most challenging tasks for teachers in projects is to develop creative ideas. Due to the linear system perspective of education, fostering students' creativity is restricted. However, engineering design and scientific process skills that comprise creativity have an iterative structure. An iterative process-oriented education enables…

Ahmed, Shamsuddin – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2022
The theory of knowledge on concepts or CK design theory describes creativity as a design conceptualization independent of other design areas. It represents innovation, creation, and discovery within the design process framework. Engineering design requires creative skills. This article presents a "Quality Function Deployment" method for…

Zak, Andrew J.; Bugada, Luke F.; Ma, Xiao Yin; Wen, Fei – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Over the past decade, the increasingly globalized society has continually redefined the qualities and skills of an ideal engineering graduate for industry and academic careers, and, more recently, in light of a global pandemic in 2020, the pedagogical environment has shifted toward a virtual classroom setting. Because the engineering and social…

Kuo, Hsu-Chan; Yang, Ya-Ting Carolyn; Chen, Jung-San; Hou, Ting-Wei; Ho, Ming-Tzu – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: Prior studies have shown that project-based learning (PBL) is an effective approach on engineering education. This study further identifies the impact of a design thinking (DT) integrated PBL approach on the college students' learning motivation and creativity. Background: A well-developed robot and its project often require…

Hollister, Brad; Leon, Juan – International Journal on E-Learning, 2022
An introductory survey course in software engineering is now required at many accredited undergraduate institutions in the United States. The usual presentation of material consists of student projects that showcase design, development, and testing methodologies. While this approach does provide a foundation, students are left without professional…

Zeid, Abe – Athens Journal of Education, 2020
Teaching STEM concepts to today's high school students has been challenging. Span of attention is short. Students are glued to their electronic devices. They cannot appreciate the abstract method of teaching, meaning covering concepts followed by solving problems from a textbook. Research has shown that students become excited and motivated to…

Bertoni, Marco; Bertoni, Alessandro – Education Sciences, 2020
Fostering 'experiential learning' in real-life situations is a critical task for engineering educators when creating constructively aligned learning activities. The paper proposes an approach to measure the students' perception of learning in Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate activities conducted outside the classroom. The approach is based on the…
