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…

A multistep assembly of gold nanoparticle self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on glass surfaces is proposed, as a third-year undergraduate experiment. The process includes self-assembly (SA) and electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) methods, which are central approaches in modern surface and materials engineering. The products are analyzed using…

This article presents a case study of a collaboration between a faculty developer and an engineering librarian at San José State University to support junior faculty in navigating research metrics and strategic publishing. Through a co-facilitated workshop embedded in a college-level faculty development program, early-career engineering faculty…

A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) was established to help STEM faculty integrate entrepreneurially minded learning (EML), a pedagogy that develops curiosity, connections, and value creation, into a new engineering undergraduate program during the pandemic. Guided by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) framework, the FLC…

This paper describes an innovative, new, laboratory experiment conceived as a Senior Capstone Project by the student authors to provide experience with heat pipes for students in our junior-year Process Laboratory course at the University of Utah. Heat pipes can transport energy over long distances with minimal temperature gradients and no moving…

This study investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) by undergraduates majoring in Instrumentation and Control Engineering (ICE) at University of Shanghai for Science and Technology. We conducted a questionnaire survey to assess the awareness and usage habits of these LLMs among ICE undergraduates in ICE courses, focusing on the model…

Contributions: This article presents the results from a teaching innovation project based on the creation of educational videos by students and their assessment through blind peer review in the context of an electric circuit course. This article also analyses the activity's impact on learning outcomes by comparing the results of participating…

This study seeks to examine the impact of curriculum support (CS) and extracurricular support (ECS) on students' entrepreneurial intentions (EI) along with the mediating impact of entrepreneurial attitude (EA) and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) on the relationship. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect data from 561 final year…

Background: In the United States, there is increased demand to expand the engineering workforce. Many military veterans have received technical training that can be leveraged in engineering. Their pursuit of engineering degrees has great potential to expand and diversify the engineering workforce. Purpose: This study examines the pathways of US…

Background: Makerspaces provide university engineering students with experience in creative hands-on design/build projects. They offer significant benefits for engagement, retention, and skill development for student users. Many university makerspaces rely on student workers. However, not much is known about how these student workers understand…

Technology and engineering education (TEE) corresponds to technical craft in Finnish primary and secondary school craft subject. However, there have not been in the specific descriptions of the technology and engineering content in the subject in the national core curricula for basic education since 1994. The research task here was to outline what…

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…

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…
