Wang, Liyuan; Huang, Meiping; Zhang, Xiaohua; Yan, Xueyuan; Jin, Ruoyu; Wanatowski, Dariusz; Cheshmehzangi, Ali; Chohan, Navpreet – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
This pedagogical study aimed to demonstrate an updated Building Information Modelling (BIM) educational activity in CEM (i.e., construction engineering and management) students' final semester project. It investigated students' perceptions of BIM and the project. Student feedback provided insights for linking education to practice, for example,…

Yang, Fan; Akanbi, Temitope; Chong, Oscar Wong; Zhang, Jiansong; Debs, Luciana; Chen, Yunfeng; Hubbard, Bryan J. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Computing technology is reshaping the way in which professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries conduct their business. The execution of construction tasks is changing from traditional 2D to 3D building information modeling (BIM)-based concepts. The use of BIM is expanded and enriched by the introduction of advanced…

Naji, Khalid Kamal; Ebead, Usama; Al-Ali, Abdulla Khalid; Du, Xiangyun – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Background: While improved student engagement has been highlighted as an essential goal and a major outcome of Problem and Project-Based learning (PBL), little empirical evidence has been provided regarding types and forms of student engagement. Material and method: The study explored forms of student engagement in PBL settings, drawing on…

Miranda, Marina; Saiz-Linares, Ángela; da Costa, Almudena; Castro, Jorge – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
In today's industry, employers are looking for civil engineering graduates who have acquired not only substantial technical and scientific knowledge, but who also have good life-long learning skills such as problem-solving, creativity and communication skills. Therefore, it is necessary to leave behind the pedagogical approaches exclusively…

MacLeod, Miles; van der Veen, Jan T. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Can you ask students from three different bachelor programmes to help solve planning and routeing problems for hospitals? In the presented case an interdisciplinary approach was shown to be successful after some redesign. Students from Applied Mathematics, Civil Engineering and Industrial & Engineering Management jointly designed solutions for…

Gratchev, Ivan; Jeng, Dong-Sheng – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
This study seeks to explore whether a combination of traditional teaching methods with project-based learning (PBL) activities can improve the student learning experience in an engineering course of soil mechanics. As an alternative to the traditional type of assignment that consisted of several textbook problems, a project-based assignment was…

Bell, Sarah; Chilvers, Andrew; Jones, Liz; Badstuber, Nicole – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
This study explored if it is possible for liberal arts students to develop engineering professional competencies without detailed engagement with the engineering sciences. Students on a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences programme were compared with their undergraduate peers in Civil Engineering. A new method for evaluating such competencies was…

Pinho-Lopes, Margarida; Macedo, Joaquim – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Since 2007/2008 project-based learning models have been used to deliver two fundamental courses on Geotechnics in University of Aveiro, Portugal. These models have evolved and have encompassed either cooperative or collaborative teamwork. Using data collected in five editions of each course (Soil Mechanics I and Soil Mechanics II), the different…

Barroso, Luciana R.; Morgan, James R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
This paper describes the creation and evolution of an undergraduate dynamics and vibrations course for civil engineering students. Incorporating vibrations into the course allows students to see and study "real" civil engineering applications of the course content. This connection of academic principles to real life situations is in…
