In response to evolving engineering education, there is a growing focus on fostering students' practical skills. This study implemented a Mini Project Based Learning (MPBL) approach within the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course. The tasks involved SOLIDWORKS modelling, writing CNC code using CADEM seeNC Turn software, and hands-on CNC…

The aim of this paper is to determine whether the integration of digital pedagogies into the entire student learning lifecycle can improve exam performance. Since the inception of the so-called internet age, the use of technology has been explored as a platform for knowledge transfer. In formal education, this phenomenon has prompted higher…

The purpose of this quantitative causal-comparative study was to determine the extent of differences in student SAT scores before and after implementation of a 1:1 Chromebook program. Technology engagement theory postulates that the use of 1:1 devices increases student engagement, which should lead to higher achievement. Two research questions…

The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) employment in airline pilot training. Specifically, this study conducted an experiment that introduced VR equipment into the Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) course in the United Kingdom (UK). Increasing pilot throughput in airline pilot training is critical as demands for…

In a diverse classroom, there are students who are in need of both mathematics and English as a second language instruction. One of the challenges faced at Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) was the development of a pathway for English language learners into core academic courses at the college. In addition, English language learners…

Traditional educational patterns are giving way to more innovative modes and methods of learning, primarily due to radical technological changes that have increased the availability of information and improved communication.
