Engineers' contribution to society tends to be located in rational, technical constructs devoid of social and political interests. This paradigm presents a challenge to engineering educators tasked with undergraduate engineering curriculum content that links to society in some way. This article reports on a study undertaken by engineering…

Research on engineering practice and its relationship with engineering education is getting increased attention in the engineering education literature recently. In this article, we present a study of engineering practice in an electrical power utility company that focused specifically on the learning practices of professional engineers. Through…

Engineering education has evolved significantly in recent years, however, engineering graduates continue to encounter challenges during their transition to the workplace. There is a need to identify graduates' needs and gather their input regarding engineering education programs to enhance the preparation of engineering students for the workplace.…

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in engineering education has significantly transformed the learning process, particularly in developing technical writing skills. This study investigates how specific ICT tools such as Grammarly, Turnitin, Google Docs, and Moodle enhance technical writing proficiency among…

This meta-analysis examined whether learning outcomes differ (a) for STEM integration versus traditional instruction and (b) across STEM integration implementations. Based on 79 effect sizes from 40 studies of 15,577 students, those learning via STEM integration outperformed other students on academic achievement tests (g = 0.661; 95% CI [0.548,…

The current study explores the discipline-based differences in terms of the relationship between English language proficiency and attitudes towards translanguaging in partial English Medium Instruction (EMI) programmes at a Turkish university. Quantitative data were collected from undergraduates in the Faculty of Engineering (n = 173) and the…

Background: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised significant ethical concerns, prompting higher education institutions to reconsider how they prepare future STEM professionals to navigate such concerns responsibly. Despite growing efforts to integrate AI ethics into higher education, a lack of consensus and standardized…

In conventional laboratories, engineering students must attend in person to conduct experiments with real equipment in a physical place, where their work is mainly assessed through self-reports and attendance records. By comparison, online labs can record and analyze students' activities and behaviors automatically. Thus, this article proposes a…

This study investigates social, mathematical, and sociomathematical norms perceived by college students in an engineering mathematics course and examines the students' sense of mathematics as signals of individual merit. Data sources include a survey and one-on-one interviews with 38 students. The findings help illustrate student perceptions of…

Background: Black engineering graduate students represent a critical and understudied population in engineering education. Gaining an understanding of the lived experiences of Black engineering graduate students while they are simultaneously weathering two pandemics, COVID-19 and systemic racism, is of paramount importance. Purpose/Hypothesis:…

High dropout rates in the first year of undergraduate studies are an expression of the secondary-tertiary transition problem and they seem to be particularly high in those degree programs where specialized mathematics courses are taught in the first year of study. Research shows that students' difficulties during the transition period cannot be…

What role does advertising play in product development as part of owned media? For three years, a capstone advertising campaign course collaborated with STEM courses to form interdisciplinary teams composed of advertising, engineering, and computer science. The study provides insight into how teams can be more entrepreneurial by building on the…

The use of video games has increased exponentially worldwide, mainly among the youth population. The main objective of this article is to evaluate the consumption habits and motivations of engineering students to play video games. To this end, an instrument to measure the use of video games and a scale of motivations were administered to 633…

Mainly, this paper is written to address an engineering educator pool that has limited firsthand knowledge of the industry work scope. Specifically, members that gain necessary academic credential and gain a faculty job without having professional industry work exposures. Transition of knowledge gained in the undergraduate engineering experimental…

This article examines the intents and effects of China's national policies to promote a synergistic approach to university-industry collaborative education. These policies set out to reduce the academia-industry disconnection for engineering education. Based on document analysis and interviews with various types of stakeholders, the study reveals…
