In the spring of 2020, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) was faced with the challenge of how to best serve and support its higher education members amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, for the Excellence in Civil Engineering Education (ExCEEd) Teaching Workshop (ETW), the indefinite prohibition of in-person gatherings triggered…

Purpose: Teaching and learning statistical signal processing in Biomedical Engineering Degrees poses challenges for both students and teachers. Students often perceive signal processing subjects as demanding and somewhat unattractive, with failure rates several times higher than that of other courses. The aim of this work is to address the…

Today's industry requires graduates of mechanical engineering expertise programs who have high creativity. The purpose of this study is to describe how the influence of spatial intelligence, adversity intelligence, on the creativity of vocational students of the mechanical engineering expertise program. The urgency of this research is as a basis…

Nature-based learning environments for early childhood are expanding, as is research into their affordances and pedagogies. Engineering in these environments is not well studied. Previous work considered engineering experiences through the lens of 'designerly play', finding that natural materials, the space for larger creations and constructions,…

Engineering instructors play a crucial role in developing a positive culture in their classes. However, few studies have explored integrating teaching pedagogies to convey a culture of care and support students' mental health and well-being (MHWB) in engineering education contexts. It is critical to advance knowledge in this area considering the…

Assessing the learning outcomes from professional learning is crucial for understanding its impact, especially for training focusing on capability development. This paper explores the benefits of using scenario-based assessments to assess the immediate capability learning outcomes in professional learning settings. Existing research underscores…

The characteristics of institutional work in higher education change is an understudied topic in research. This article describes an institutional change process in higher education by analysing multilevel institutional work. Drawing on the results, the paper presents a modified process model on the multilevel institutional work and the related…

Interdisciplinary engineering education (IEE) is gaining traction as engineering practices increasingly acknowledge the need to transcend traditional boundaries given the complexities of globalised systems. IEE, however, faces challenges that underscore uncertainties and different perceptions about what interdisciplinarity means for engineering…

Background: First-year engineering mathematics courses present a critical academic challenge, often leading to a significant decline in student self-efficacy, a key predictor of retention and success. While flipped learning is a proposed solution, a lack of longitudinal research using robust comparison groups has limited our understanding of its…

Purpose: This research aims to examine the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education programs in influencing the entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of engineering students in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Morocco. Design/methodology/approach: This study evaluates entrepreneurship education's impact on engineering students' EIs in Morocco…

A synergetic approach to combine service learning at the university level with a high school outreach program is described. A holistic view is presented by discussing the importance of outreach and service learning, survey results, and outcomes. Overall, it was found that the unique program increased the self-efficacy (belief about one's…

After the mushrooming growth of the institutions providing technical education in India, questions are being raised about the quality of education dispensed to technical graduates. The purpose of this study is to recognise the various factors, in order of their importance, that are responsible for declining quality of technical education in…

A challenge in building the biomedical engineering human factors course at Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences was integrating meaningful direct experiences with medical products. The instructor also noticed a significant gap between the topics in the course and their surrounding clinical context, a low-income setting. Recognizing…

This study aimed to explore how preschoolers perceive engineers and engineering by using their drawings. For this aim, phenomenography was used as a research approach. The data were collected using the draw-and-tell technique and through the drawing and explanation related parts of the Draw an Engineer Test. Totally, 436 preschool children from 16…

Faced with the current unsustainability and recognizing the importance of engineering (and technology) in the Capitalocene, it is important to develop educational approaches that facilitate the awareness and training of engineering students to the sustainable future's construction. The main objective of the study is the evaluation of the…
