Rizwan Azam; Muhammad Umer Farooq; Muhammad Rizwan Riaz – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
An undergraduate degree in engineering requires students to not only be proficient in engineering knowledge but also acquire comprehensive skills such as independent learning ability, strong communication skills, social knowledge, and innovative thinking. Therefore, problem-based learning (PBL), which is a student-centered approach, is getting…

Deidre Horne Mangin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Given the worldwide shortfall of engineers that threatens innovation and global stewardship, educators and industry must find ways to engage and prepare the next generation of engineers. To attract and train candidates to fill global needs, researchers need to expand engineering career pathway perceptions for students of all ages. Engineering…

Margaret Phillips; Jason B. Reed; Dave Zwicky; Amy S. Van Epps – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Systematic review or systematic literature review (SLR) methodologies are a powerful tool for evidence-based decision making. The method originated in the medical sciences but has since been adopted by other disciplines, including engineering education (EE). Purpose: We aimed to answer two research questions: (i) To what extent is the…

Álvaro Martínez-Sevilla; Sergio Alonso; José L. Rodríguez – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
In this paper we deal with a geometric machine that has gone somewhat unnoticed in mathematics education: the Perfect Compass. It allows conics to be drawn using a special two aperture compass, based on Apollonius' conic sections. Proposed in the 10th century, it seems that it was never built in medieval times--at least no archaeological remains…

Becker, Karin L.; Sloan, Joel A. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
There is a growing need for engineers to be effective communicators, yet professional skills often are underdeveloped by college-level engineering curricula and undervalued by engineering students. To improve communication skills, we integrated a technical communication block of instruction into a civil engineering (CE) computer applications…

Virginia Jiang; Matthew Lucia; Scott Banta; Christopher V. H.-H. Chen – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
We developed a remote lab experience where freshmen grew and analyzed the activity of sourdough starters as a means of engaging with chemical engineering concepts. This six-week hands-on activity was targeted due to its low-cost, non-hazardous materials, and ability to be conducted safely in a non-laboratory setting. By designing the lab to be…

Scovazzo, Paul – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
Length of the Unused Bed (LUB) methods for scaling sorbers have confusing and complicated pedagogically elements. One method limits feeds to C/C[subscript F] < 0.3; a limitation not stated in the established textbooks. Discussed is a new LUB method with no limitation on the feed C/C[subscript F]. It fixes the pedagogically confusing and…

Paul Scovazzo – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
Simplifying equations via assumptions is integral to the "engineering method." Algebraic scaling helps in teaching the engineering skill of making good assumptions. Algebraic scaling is more than a pedagogical tool. It can create a solution where one was not possible before scaling. Scaling helps in engineering proper design…

Sloan, Joel A.; Scharff, Lauren F. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2022
The ability to self-assess is a key component of learning and particularly of life-long learning. Knowledge surveys (KS) are a self-assessment tool where respondents rate their ability to answer a question or perform a skill rather than answer directly with knowledge content or by solving a problem as they would on an exam. KS were implemented in…

Osgood, Libby; Johnston, Clifton R. – Education Sciences, 2022
There are myriad understandings of design that have evolved over time and vary by the industries and disciplines that practice it. In the engineering context, design is often described as a process or problem-solving ability. Through interviews with 12 experienced engineers, it was found that there are diverse understandings of the relationship…

Wolfand, Jordyn M.; Bieryla, Kathleen A.; Ivler, Christina M.; Symons, Jennifer E. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This article measures the impact of a service-learning project in a first-year introduction to computing course on students' understanding of engineers' roles and responsibilities and their attitudes toward plastic pollution. Background: Service learning has been integrated into classrooms for many years, but its utilization in…

Deborah E. Carberry; Jonas S. Neergaard-Nielsen; Evert Van Nieuwenburg; Martin P. Andersson – Discover Education, 2024
In this study, we develop and test a board game to introduce quantum computing to engineering students. The instructional approach is informed by peer instruction and flow theory. To begin, Bloom's taxonomy is leveraged to profile the intended learning outcomes (ILO's) from a master's course in Quantum Information. This is followed by a filtering…

Aaron G. Frye; Matthew E. Cooper; Lisa G. Bullard – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
The outcomes of students who completed a ChE graduate bridging course sequence were compared against a group of students with ad hoc preparation. Bridging course students were found to have a modestly higher rate of graduate degree conferral and slightly lower graduate GPAs (though the GPA effect size was found to be small to medium) compared to…

Sevgi Aydin Gunbatar; Elif Selcan Oztay; Betul Ekiz Kiran – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Training both pre - and in-service teachers who are capable of planning and enacting engineering design-based science instruction are critical for integrating engineering into K-12 science curricula. Purpose: This study investigates pre-service teachers' efforts to integrate engineering into their lesson plans. Sample: 13 pre-service…

Claudia Calle Müller; Ioannis Zisis; Amal Elawady; Mohamed Elzomor – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2025
The field of wind science and engineering (WSE) in relation to civil engineering (CE) applications is still considered relatively young and thus has been taught only for about 50 years in some academic institutions. Therefore, it is unsurprising that there are limited wind engineering (WE) tracks within CE programs worldwide, and no semblance of a…
