Hendrickx, Marloes; Schüler-Meyer, Alexander; Verhoosel, Clemens V. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
To increase students' sense of ownership, the present study incorporated elements of Challenge-based learning (CBL) into a mechanical engineering course. CBL is a desirable pedagogy adopted by many universities of technology. Although the boundaries and constraints of a regular course hinder the application of CBL, some of its benefits can be…

Rogers, Helen L.; Hitt, Sarah J.; Allan, Dave G. – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
NMITE's Master's in Integrated Engineering (MEng) was created with a unique philosophy of integrating not only traditionally separate strands of engineering, but also of integrating engineering with other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and business. This broad and deep integration is made possible by adopting the principles and practices of…

Hui Zhang; Haihan Zhang; Qian Zhang – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2024
Computer programming and municipal engineering (ME) students' specialised knowledge are still poorly integrated, leading to limited improvement of students' programming abilities. This paper describes an effective attempt in ME at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology (XAUAT). Students were divided into several teams and required to…

Canan Mesutoglu; Durdane Bayram-Jacobs; Johanna Vennix; Anne Limburg; Birgit Pepin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: In responding to the global problems facing humankind, there is great value in equipping science and engineering students with skills to function well in multidisciplinary teams. Little attention has been paid into the factors that influence multidisciplinary collaboration and teamwork of science and engineering students. Purpose: This…

Rizwan Azam; Muhammad Umer Farooq; Muhammad Rizwan Riaz – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
An undergraduate degree in engineering requires students to not only be proficient in engineering knowledge but also acquire comprehensive skills such as independent learning ability, strong communication skills, social knowledge, and innovative thinking. Therefore, problem-based learning (PBL), which is a student-centered approach, is getting…

English, Niall J. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
Molecular-, fluid- and field-dynamics simulation are becoming more mainstream tools for practicing process engineers; here, the academic community needs to pay close attention to "upskilling" demands from industry, where remote working/training emphasizes the need for sophisticated computational-engineering design tools with molecular…

Mark Vincent Huerta; Susan Sajadi; Lisa Schibelius; Olivia Jane Ryan; Marin Fisher – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Developing teamwork skills is a central objective of engineering education. Psychological safety and conflict management are pivotal components of teamwork, yet despite their significance, research in engineering project-based learning (PBL) contexts is scant. Understanding students' experiences with psychological safety and its…

Jiang, Dan; Dahl, Bettina; Du, Xiangyun – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
This study explores how engineering students develop learner agency in an intercultural PBL (problem- and project-based learning) environment, along with the factors that affect their development. Theoretically, learner agency is framed within three interrelated dimensions: intrapersonal, behavioural, and environmental. A narrative inquiry…

Boelt, A. M.; Kolmos, A.; Holgaard, J. E. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The development of generic skills and competences has become a central component of contemporary engineering education due to increased societal and occupational complexity. Problem- and project-based learning (PBL) has been highlighted as one of the pedagogical approaches fostering generic skills and competences that are transferable between…

Lyngdorf, Niels Erik Ruan; Du, Xiangyun; Lundberg, Adrian – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been implemented with different levels of success in first-year engineering education in response to the rapidly growing requirements for a higher degree of learner agency in graduates. This study is contextualised in a systemic problem-based learning environment and explores the sources of first-year engineering…
