This article introduces the development process of social presence-enabled augmented reality (SPEAR) tool, an innovative augmented reality (AR) based learning application tailored for online engineering education. SPEAR focuses on a learning module of structural beam-bending, empowering users to seamlessly integrate 3-D virtual beams into their…

Worldwide, engineering design is seeing an increase in pre-college settings due to changing educational policies and standards. Additionally, these projects can help students develop critical skills for a broad range of problem settings, such as design thinking and reflection. In design and other contexts, reflection is a mental process where…

In science and engineering education, remote laboratories are designed to bring ubiquity to experimental scenarios, by having real laboratories operated through the Internet. Despite that remote laboratories enable the collection of students' work data, the educational use of these data is still underdeveloped. Learning analytics dashboards are…

Contribution: A remote laboratory system for induction motors was developed in this study. By creating an original simulated induction motor, the structure of the motor can be observed, and the current and magnetic flux can be measured safely. Background: Electrical machinery has little appeal to young engineers. Such machinery deals with…

Laboratories play a central role in engineering education. Current technology enables virtual experiences that challenge the traditional concept of teaching laboratories for undergraduate engineering students. Integrating technology, such as virtual laboratories, allows students to learn foundational experimental skills; however, it lacks…

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…

Classroom response systems (CRS) represent an innovative educational technology that can be used to promote active learning and student engagement. This study explores the effectiveness of CRS in enhancing student learning and performance across various engineering courses related to heat engines. During five academic years, CRS have been used…

The start of the COVID-19 pandemic with its unique constraints led teachers of all disciplines, across all levels, to employ diverse strategies in their quick transition to online learning. Emerging literature has suggested readiness and resources for the transition to remote learning along with intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as student…

Design problems are often ill-structured as the requirements are broadly defined and have multiple correct solutions. Experts solve such problems by applying various cognitive and metacognitive skills before the formal specifications and solution designs are documented. Novices often need help solving ill-structured design problems as they lack…

Mathematics is one of the core subjects in engineering education and forms the foundation of all disciplines in engineering. In Hong Kong, a significant number of students are admitted to engineering programmes without sufficient mathematical background. Engineering mathematics is essential for teaching and learning many fundamental and advanced…

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping biomedical engineering (BME) education. This paper presents insights from "The Fifth Biomedical Engineering Education Summit", which brought together educators from across the U.S. to address challenges and opportunities in integrating GenAI into BME curricula.…

This paper provides some insights into the use of example-generating tasks in the design of a technology-rich learning environment to enhance students' mathematical thinking. The paper reports on an early stage of a design-based research project concerning the design of tasks and associated feedback utilising the affordances provided by a combined…

With the increasing need for dynamic and engaging educational experiences, methodologies are essential to captivate and motivate students effectively. As the digital age progresses, students are more accustomed to interactive and multimedia-rich environments, making it imperative for educational strategies to evolve accordingly. This paper…

By creating specific prompts, educators can harness the power of AI models to generate tailored content, provide instant feedback, and simulate real-world scenarios for deeper learning engagement. Whether it's creating personalized lesson plans, generating creative writing prompts, or assisting with problem-solving exercises, generative AI creates…

The research reveals the problem of training human resources in society using digital technologies. The current level of development of the labor force is closely related to the change in the improvement of the technical basis of production activities. The role of a teacher is considered, which is defined as a highly qualified teacher who seeks to…
