Vanessa Svihla; Jamie R. Gomez; Martin A. Crudo – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2023
While project-based learning purportedly values student agency, supporting and managing this remains challenging. We conducted a design-based research study to understand how problem authenticity, and task and participant structures can contribute to students' framing agency, in which students make decisions that are consequential to their…

Jonathan Liu; Seth Poulsen; Erica Goodwin; Hongxuan Chen; Grace Williams; Yael Gertner; Diana Franklin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Algorithm design is a vital skill developed in most undergraduate Computer Science (CS) programs, but few research studies focus on pedagogy related to algorithms coursework. To understand the work that has been done in the area, we present a systematic survey and literature review of CS Education studies. We search for research that is both…

Yasmany García-Ramírez – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
Due to its positive results, active learning has spread to most areas of knowledge of Civil Engineering. Many of these studies used only one technique, which is limiting given the diverse learning styles that the students may have. The road geometric design is the area that has been the least explored in Civil engineering. Therefore, the objective…

Miska, Jacob W.; Mathews, Laura; Driscoll, Jessica; Hoffenson, Steven; Crimmins, Sarah; Espera, Alejandro, Jr.; Pitterson, Nicole – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Engineering education traditionally emphasizes technical skills, sometimes at the cost of under-preparing graduates for the real-world engineering context. In recent decades, attempts to address this issue include increasing project-based assignments and engineering design courses in curricula; however, a skills gap between education…

Nikola Luburic; Jelena Slivka; Luka Doric; Simona Prokic; Aleksandar Kovacevic – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
Project-based learning (PBL) is a learning technology praised for its ability to grow domain-specific and domain-general skills and related knowledge and attitudes. However, consistently designing effective PBL experiences is challenging, primarily due to the lack of instructor support and guidance for designing PBL experiences aligned with…

Paige, Myela; Schauer, Anastasia; Klesmith, Zoe; Davis, Alexis; Fu, Katherine – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
In many mechanical engineering undergraduate curriculums, there are topics that are vital to the students' future careers in the manufacturing and design workforce that are not taught in-depth. As one of those topics, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, or GD&T, is vital to companies who develop and manufacture products because it allows…

Nathan Mentzer; Elnara Mammadova; Adrie Koehler; Lakshmy Mohandas; Shawn Farrington – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
During COVID, HyFlex gained popularity and became a "new normal" that educators need to consider as an effective instructional approach. Previous research offers conflicting findings related to the impact of HyFlex instruction on students' basic psychological needs and academic performance. Our investigation provides insight into a…

Parmentier, Davy Daniël; Van Acker, Bram Boris; Saldien, Jelle; Detand, Jan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2021
Desired affordances and appropriate product semantics are important when considering products that are easy to use and easy to understand. Despite affordances and product semantics being taught in some design educations, many designers in industry do not explicitly consider affordances nor product semantics during the design process. This is…

Júlio César Dutra; Patrícia Schmid Calvão – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
This article aims to present our experience with transmedia storytelling in the design of materials selection, integrating two disciplines within an undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum in Brazil. The students' project involved developing a narrative within the fictional universe of superheroes while exploring material properties using…

Baichang Zhong; Xiaofan Liu; Shuiyan Huang – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2025
While pair learning (PL) is considered a potential method in STEM education including robotics education (RE), the question of how to pair students for superior learning effects remains. Current grouping strategies for PL in RE are constrained by fixed grouping (FG) and short of attention to dynamic grouping (DG). Therefore, this study aims to…

Küçüksayraç, Elif; Ariburun Kirca, Layika Ney Ece – International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2020
Purpose: Although the methods and approaches of sustainable design have been developing for more than 20 years, their application in design education and the design process is still under-examined. This study aims to investigate how to integrate sustainability into project-based undergraduate courses in industrial design education, where…

Tyflopoulos, Evangelos; Haskins, Cecilia; Steinert, Martin – Education Sciences, 2021
Topology optimization (TO) has been a useful engineering tool over the last decades. The benefits of this optimization method are several, such as the material and cost savings, the design inspiration, and the robustness of the final products. In addition, there are educational benefits. TO is a combination of mathematics, design, statics, and the…

Foster, Mary K. – Management Teaching Review, 2021
Design thinking--understanding the human needs related to a problem, reframing the problem in human-centric ways, creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and adopting a hands-on approach to prototyping and testing--offers a complementary approach to the rational problem-solving methods typically emphasized in business schools. Business…
