Alling, Sean; Knoesen, André – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
The onset of COVID-19 required drastic changes on how students interacted in EE-Emerge, a course where the students design and build exhibits demonstrating engineering to the public. COVID-19 was used as an opportunity to expose students on how teams in industry collaborate effectively on a project remotely across time zones, and how to…

Shirazi, Arezoo; Behzadan, Amir H. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2015
Recent studies suggest that the number of students pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees has been generally decreasing. An extensive body of research cites the lack of motivation and engagement in the learning process as a major underlying reason of this decline. It has been discussed that if properly…

Hansen, Claus Thorp; Lenau, Torben Anker – Advances in Engineering Education, 2013
Most product development work in industrial practice is incremental, i.e., the company has had a product in production and on the market for some time, and now time has come to design an upgraded variant. This type of redesign project requires that the engineering designers have competences to carry through an analysis of the existing product…
