The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) pertains to scholarly endeavors centered on the pedagogical aspects of teaching and learning, and its principal objective is the enhancement of students' educational experiences. This systematic literature review addresses the following questions: (1) In what capacity do educators within the field of…

Ergonomic risk factors in the workplace can result in nonfatal injuries among construction workers, leading to absenteeism, project delays, and reduced organizational productivity. Previous studies have highlighted a lack of knowledge about ergonomics among construction practitioners, hindering effective strategies. This knowledge gap can be…

Rapid advancements in bioengineering call for broad public literacy to help individuals better understand the changes these technologies bring to our lives. However, making bioengineering concepts accessible and relevant, especially to non-science majors, is often challenging. To address this challenge, we designed a general education course aimed…

An elective course on chemical process separations has been developed to provide upper-level undergraduate students the opportunity to develop expertise in evaluating and potentially improving energy consumption in distillation operations. This paper presents examples of the work submitted to illustrate the pedagogy of the class. These examples…

Distance learning has become a necessity and a common practice, using electronic devices and the Internet to facilitate online classes and exams. One course in undergraduate electrical engineering is the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) course, which requires exposure to theoretical concepts as well as simulations. In this paper, we propose a…

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are essential in ensuring the stability and efficiency of numerous scientific, industrial, and medical processes. However, teaching the principles of PID control can be challenging, especially when the introduction focuses on the underlying mathematical framework. To address this, we developed the…

Contribution: This article presents significant contributions in the field of understanding and addressing misconceptions (MCs) related to Ohm's law. First, it provides a comprehensive list and detailed description of 16 MCs commonly observed among students, and identifies and emphasizes 11 good practices that educators can adopt to effectively…

This study proposed a framework for Virtual Peer Learning by testing Peer Learning Model to engineering students at a university in Manila during the second semester of school year 2021-2022. Guided Peer Discussions method was applied using Virtual Think-Pair-Share and Virtual Gallery Walk as teaching strategies. Convergent-parallel mixed method…

This study investigates managerial logic and academic logic by analysing the impact of institutional strategy on undergraduate teaching at a Chinese research university. By reviewing the university strategy and education strategy and interviewing academics from the Engineering faculty, this research provides empirical evidence supporting the…

In this classroom activity, students consider geographic context--features like mountains, rainforest, and rivers--in order to assess their influence on transport mode selection, speed, weight limit, and cost. Cost of transport, in turn, has significant effects on the local economy. Students will learn that people in a place must import anything…

Strategies are proposed that promote use of an Integrated Applied Mathematics (IAM) approach to enhance teaching of advanced problem-solving and analysis skills. Three scenarios of 1-dimensional transport processes are presented that support using Error Function analyses when considering short time/small penetration depths in finite geometries.…

This book highlights the pivotal role that engineering education researchers can play at technical universities. By delving into both theoretical and practical aspects, it showcases the transformative potential of integrating rigorous educational research into technical education. The book begins by outlining the current landscape of engineering…

This study investigates the direct effects of theoretical teaching methods, practical teaching methods and school-enterprise cooperations on engineering innovation ability among higher vocational education students in Henan, China. Using the Triple Helix Model as a framework, the research examines the dynamic collaboration between academia,…

In the dynamic and complex environment of industrial engineering, soft skills have become fundamental elements to achieve professional success. This work analyzes (i) how industrial engineering students at the University of Valladolid in Spain perceive the effect of a teaching methodology (characterized by a sound and systematic integration of…

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine when students deepen their conceptual understanding of mathematical modeling during a one-semester course in biomedical engineering that uses the constructivist problem-based learning (PBL) framework. The study hypothesizes that concept maps, as a form of assessment, would show increased complexity…
