Entrepreneurship is still young and developing in Mongolia, yet it is the main driver of the Mongolian economy. According to The National Statistics Office of Mongolia, small and medium businesses create 52.5% of all jobs in Mongolia. To ensure more qualified entrepreneurs join the labor market, educators and instructors can help with resources…

The literature describes different stances concerning the focus on how mathematics should be taught, with some preferring a conceptual knowledge approach and others a procedural knowledge approach. The current study investigated the relationship between students' conceptual and procedural knowledge in a calculus context. To better understand the…

Background: This scoping literature review was undertaken by the Science and Engineering Education Research and Innovation Hub at The University of Manchester to enhance the understanding of how teachers can be supported to plan for progression in engineering education in primary and secondary schools in England. Purpose & Method: The aim of…

We present the Active Learning tools introduced in basic mathematics courses in the Preparatory Curriculum for Engineering schools at Université Claude Bernard. Additions were introduced in the academic year 2018/2019 in Foundations of Mathematics 2, in the first year of bachelor study program. Its content are Linear Algebra (matrices, vector…

This contribution presents the pedagogical design of a subject through gamified activities supported by technological tools in which the integration of two key subjects of the Civil Industrial Engineering career were implemented, which are operational research and project evaluation. In addition, the results of the satisfaction and learning…

In this paper a class of regular surfaces, generated by rotation and twist of a rigid line segment, is considered. Firstly a complete description of those surfaces by means of local charts is obtained and then its orientability is characterized in terms of the number of half-twists, taking into account their direction (clockwise or…

Purpose: This study aims to explore the perceptions of a diverse set of 16 engineering postdoctoral scholars regarding their fit for the professoriate. The professoriate speaks to the body of tenured/tenure-track faculty within higher education institutions. Design/methodology/approach: An intrinsic case study design was conducted to provide an…

The world is changing, and university education must be able to adapt to it. New technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are requiring tools such as simulation and process control to develop products and services. Thus, control systems engineering schools are adapting to new educational frameworks tailored to deploy promising and…

Problem-based learning is an active student-centred approach, which requires engineering students to work together in solving real-world problems. This study aims to review the incorporation of cooperative learning principles in an introductory first-year engineering course that aimed to develop students' group skills while working on…

Recently, design thinking has become recognized as a necessity for every student, especially when they engage in design-based learning, as a pedagogical approach to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. However, design-based learning is mostly based on forward engineering, in which students' design thinking can be nurtured…

Interest is a critical motivating factor shaping how children and youth engage with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) inside and outside of school and to what extent they continue to be STEM learners throughout their lives. Emerging evidence over the last several decades indicates that the foundation of STEM-related…

This article shows results on the simulation of partial differential equations such as the heat equation, the Laplace equation and the wave equation in a course called mathematical methods at a university in Bogotá Colombia. In this course, the concept of partial differential equations and different solution methods were explained to them, both in…

In massive open online courses (MOOCs), recommendation relationships present a collection of associations that imply a new form of integration, such as an interdisciplinary synergy among diverse disciplines. This study took a computer science approach, using the susceptible-infected (SI) model to simulate the process of learners accessing courses…

The Graduate Certificate in Data Science for the Chemical Industries was designed to provide skills to working professionals, via a fully online and asynchronous format. The certificate may also be earned by undergraduate and graduate students at Georgia Tech. The certificate consists of four courses. The two core courses are Data Analytics for…

The University of Sydney has introduced a program of engaging engineering students throughout their degree program in diverse forms of exposure to, and engagement with, professional practice. As part of this program students are required to write detailed reflections on each activity. These reflections provide a rich source of information…
