Kunioshi, Nilson; Noguchi, Judy; Hayashi, Hiroko; Tojo, Kazuko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2012
Oral communication skills are essential for engineers today and, as they are included in accreditation criteria of educational programmes, their teaching and evaluation deserve attention. However, concrete aspects as to what should be taught and evaluated in relation to oral communication skills have not been sufficiently established. In this…

Booth, S. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2008
This paper addresses the issue of teaching and learning engineering mathematics in order to support a future of life-long learning in the knowledge society, based on a form of understanding that goes beyond facts, theorems and algorithms. Drawing on three research studies, the importance is shown of students' experience of reflection on study,…

Bannerot, Richard; Kastor, Ross; Ruchhoeft, Paul – Advances in Engineering Education, 2010
In this paper we identify some of the issues and problems that we confronted while developing a new, one-semester, interdepartmental, multidisciplinary capstone design course. We implemented the following changes to the pre-existing capstone design course: (1) Utilized a website to enhance information transfer, (2) Modularized the course and…

Allie, Saalih; Armien, Mogamat Noor; Burgoyne, Nicolette; Case, Jennifer M.; Collier-Reed, Brandon I.; Craig, Tracy S.; Deacon, Andrew; Fraser, Duncan M.; Geyer, Zulpha; Jacobs, Cecilia; Jawitz, Jeff; Kloot, Bruce; Kotta, Linda; Langdon, Genevieve; le Roux, Kate; Marshall, Delia; Mogashana, Disaapele; Shaw, Corrinne; Sheridan, Gillian; Wolmarans, Nicolette – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2010
In this paper we propose that learning in engineering involves taking on the discourse of an engineering community, which is intimately bound up with the identity of being a member of that community. This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…

Schwalbe, Michelle Kristin – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This dissertation has two primary concerns: (i) evaluating the uncertainty and prediction capabilities of a nanodiamond drug delivery model using Bayesian calibration and bias correction, and (ii) determining conceptual difficulties of multi-scale analysis from an engineering education perspective. A Bayesian uncertainty quantification scheme…

DeChenne, Sue Ellen; Enochs, Larry – Online Submission, 2010
An instrument to measure the teaching self-efficacy of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) GTAs is adapted from a general college teaching instrument (Prieto Navarro, 2005) for the specific teaching environment of the STEM GTAs. The construct and content validity and reliability of the final instrument are indicated. The final…

Hsiung, C. -M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
The present study conducts an experimental investigation to compare the efficiency of the cooperative learning method with that of the traditional learning method. A total of 42 engineering students are randomly assigned to the two learning conditions and are formed into mixed-ability groups comprising three team members. In addition to the…

Hosaka, Masako – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
Based on the analysis of 16 interviews with women first-year master's students at two national engineering schools in Japan, this article examines the socialisation role of compulsory undergraduate research experience in Japanese women's decisions to pursue graduate education and choices of the programme. The findings suggest that research…
