The sample mean in statistics is a concept of great importance, with its properties being extensively utilized in other areas, such as computer science. This research centers on the concept of the sample mean and its characteristics in a cohort of computer engineering students undertaking a required course in statistics at a university in the…

The purpose of this research was to study and compare children's collaborative behaviours through organising experiences based on the engineering design process. This research was conducted in the context of Thai early childhood classroom. The study group used in this research was 30 students from Kindergarten 3/1 Anubansamsen School (The…

Purpose: Teamwork is necessary for engineering to address today's complex challenges. Therefore, team members must improve their teamwork competencies for more significant team development and effectiveness. This study aimed to analyze how a non-directive coaching intervention model for an entire team influences the individual team members'…

Critical thinking is one of the most desired skills in the workplace, as it assists an individual in solving complex problems and making informed decisions, resulting in their workplace success. Argumentation is one instructional approach that provides students an opportunity to engage in higher-order thinking and improve their communication…

Purpose: Following the recent rise in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools, fundamental questions about their wider impacts have started to reverberate around various disciplines. This study aims to track the unfolding landscape of general issues surrounding GenAI tools and to elucidate the specific opportunities and limitations of…

Purpose: This study seeks insights into the engineering undergraduates' knowledge of problem-solving process, teamwork characteristics and communication skills. Design/methodology/approach: The data for the study were collected through consecutive sampling technique from 78 engineering undergraduates at the Birla Institute of Technology and…

This study investigates the integration of AI tools, ChatGPT 3.5 and Bard (now Gemini), in the education of civil engineering students specializing in pavement design. Two groups, totaling sixty-eight undergraduate students (Group A=28, Group B=40), enrolled in the Pavement Design course at UTPL from October 2023 to February 2024, participated.…

Road design education faces challenges in effectively bridging theoretical knowledge with realworld applications. Traditional classroom-based teaching methods often fall short in preparing engineering students for the complexities encountered in practical scenarios. To address this gap, innovative pedagogical strategies, such as micro-field trips,…

Framing engineering problems in a humanitarian engineering (HE) context has been shown to have a significant impact on students' learning, particularly how they understand and articulate sociotechnical design considerations. However, no studies explicitly compared differences in sociotechnical thinking for different forms of engineering context.…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of gamification on the five dimensions of meaningful learning (i.e. cooperative, active, authentic, constructive and intentional learning) and undergraduate student performance taking online lessons. Design/methodology/approach: Therefore, the authors conducted an experiment among undergraduate…

Engineers and planners are central players in creating the built environments and shaping natural ones that make up our communities. They can be a force for creating environments that are just and equitable, and by doing so advance the ideals of environmental justice. But, too often, these professionals are not empowered to create or seize…

Despite the growing interest in emotions in engineering education, empirical research on incorporating them into engineering ethics education is limited. Therefore, we designed this experimental study to assess how different methods for integrating compassion into engineering ethics cases influenced the intensity of compassion associated with the…

A typical practice of assessment in engineering studies, especially on large Bachelor level courses, is a final exam at the end of the course. This practice is problematic both in terms of learning and teaching, as it does not provide feedback on learning experience or student progress before the course is completed. This study examines the…

Engineering professors are well positioned to support their undergraduate students, who often experience diminished mental health. This paper examines engineering professors' perceptions of their undergraduate engineering students' experiences of stress. The described perceptions include when they notice student stress, which stressors they…

Open and distance learning (ODL) often faces challenges in student motivation and engagement. This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of a virtual laboratory-assisted microlearning platform in enhancing student motivation and engagement. Using a quasi-experimental methodology, 52 students from higher education institutions in Indonesia…
