The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted Higher Education as a whole, and the various educational institutions.
The use of peer review as a teaching and learning activity has gained lot of ground during the ,last decade.
In engineering education, as well as in the society at large, there is an increasing focus on sustainability and sustainable development.
Internships represent an important opportunity for students.
Within engineering education frameworks worldwide, requirements for a master’s degree are diverse and very few graduate-level engineering courses are recommended for accredited programs.
Engineering students encounter many threshold concepts as they learn the design process. These troublesome yet transformative concepts can hinder learners as they transition from novice to informed
Despite the important advances observed, nowadays, the Engineering programmes keep being challenged to better prepare their students to work on complex and multidisciplinary projects while demonstr
Many technical universities and polytechnics have manufacturing environments or learning factories to teach students about production and assembly processes.
In engineering education, many initiatives aim to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical/industrial application.
This study includes survey of the Swedish companies and other potential employers perspective/view on the computer science students´ projects as well as the opportunities and limitations for the st
In our Integrated Product Design master at the Delft faculty of Industrial Design Engineering we see a growing diversity in our student population.
This paper shares the work done by final year students from the Diploma in Accountancy (SP Accountancy) at Singapore Polytechnic (SP) in solving real-world problems using the CDIO Framework.
In Fall 2021, the delivery of first year engineering at the University of Calgary was changed to blended (or “flipped”) delivery mode, with a focus on studio-based active learning experiences in th
To support to students’ transition into university, the authors developed the Engineering Attributes Program in 2019.
In this article, we describe the self-evaluation processes undergone by the UCSC School of Engineering’s undergraduate programs under the CDIO standards since 2013 and show how this continuous impr
Often industry expects university graduates to hit the ground running.
Improving the quality of higher education is an important responsibility of universities and colleges. Several approaches have been developed with the goal of improving the quality of university st
Online guest lectures serve as an important learning activity for students to bridge the gap between the classroom and the reality of business and has become common during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Gender difference in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education is well reported and analysed, and models and recommendations have been put forward. Research has revealed tha
A typical concern among faculty faced with requests for adding new and broader learning outcomes to existing degree programs, is that they might be forced to reduce their core disciplinary curricul
After almost two years since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, higher education institutions are adopting transitional strategies towards returning to normal campus life while respecting the hea
Higher education should provide learning situations that prepare students for a future profession
Higher education should provide learning situations that prepare students for a future profession and make them world-ready.
We describe an online tutorial that was developed in order to support first year engineering students' learning about mathematical induction (MI).
Defining customer needs; considering technology, enterprise strategy, and regulations; developing concepts, techniques and business plans.
Creating the design; the plans, drawings, and algorithms that describe what will be implemented.
The transformation of the design into the product, including manufacturing, coding, testing and validation.
Using the implemented product to deliver the intended value, including maintaining, evolving and retiring the system.
