Evidence demonstrates that women in Bangladesh are underrepresented both in engineering education and relevant career domains. This study explores the comprehensive experiences of women in their pursuit of engineering, both as a subject of study and as a career in teaching in Bangladesh. Based on in-depth interviews with 15 female undergraduate…

Course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) exposes an entire class of students to scientific research and is thought to increase students' knowledge retention in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. Microbial engineering is an interdisciplinary subject that combines science and engineering. We transformed a…

The flipped classroom instructional approach gained popularity after the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly disrupted language instruction. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a full online flipped classroom instructional model to enhance students' meeting skills and their engagement. The model consisted of two lessons: group…

This article reports on a qualitative multi-case study conducted to investigate how work placement contributes to the learning of mechanical engineering students. The study collected data from 34 mechanical engineering students undergoing year-long placement. It found that work placement students' proactive behavior influenced their learning…

Research data management is essential for high-quality reproducible research, yet relatively little is known about how research data management is practiced by graduate students in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). Prior research suggests that faculty in CEE delegate research data management to graduate students, prompting this…

The reasons why Brazilian civil engineering education has not achieved competitive performance worldwide remain unclear. Thus, this study aims to identify what factors influence student performance in civil engineering undergraduate programs in public institutions in Brazil. Multiple linear regression methods were used to analyse the interactions…

Projects in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry are known for cost and time pressures that cause stress, which brings excessive workload to employees. As candidate professionals, civil engineering (CE) students often worry about the balance between work and life due to the adverse reputation of the industry in this…

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso … is found the first ABET accredited engineering leadership degree program in the USA.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines recognize the need for leadership development, but the lack of a professionally endorsed model has led to a patchwork of programmes across the nation, each with its unique brand of skills development. Leadership programmes in six diverse STEM fields are included.

Despite an elusive definition of engineering leadership, educators and researchers forge ahead to identify disparate and complementary theories which frame engineering leadership.

Background: Complexity theory (CT) has been used in response to the need for a different mindset than the classical engineering paradigm. The engineering education research (EER) community may benefit from the knowledge of how CT has been used in the field. Purpose: Aiming to provide a broad view of CT in EER, the following research questions…

As more chemical engineering students enter careers beyond the field, students need more guidance in applying their problem solving skills to a challenges beyond the plant or refinery. Since Fall 2019, we have implemented case-based learning across our Material and Energy Balances course to help students practice chemical engineering thinking as a…

This study examines the attitudes of teachers and students towards the implementation of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in the interdisciplinary study program English in Electrical Engineering and Informatics at Brno University of Technology (BUT). It aims to explore the benefits, challenges, and strategies for CLIL in the…

Ideation methods and outcomes have been evaluated in a variety of ways. Our study extends existing work through a qualitative analysis of idea characteristics based on the ideation method used. Beginning engineering students completed two short ideation sessions with a single design problem while following Individual Brainstorming and then Design…

Contribution: This article presents an Instrumentation and Control (I&C) prototype for engineering postgraduate laboratory program designed to fulfill the quality objectives of the institution. Background: The syllabus and teaching methodology for engineering students have been periodically updated by universities and higher education…
