This study explores students' initial engagement with ill-structured problems before and after the introduction of engineering problem typology as a framework for problem engagement and reflection. Using problem discussions, debrief interviews, and qualitative analysis of written artifacts, we considered observed changes to students' initial…

Mubarak, Hamisi Ramadhan; Khan, Md. Shahadat Hossain – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
The growing need for good teaching practices in Engineering Education (Eng.Ed) that will improve the graduate's complex engineering problem-solving skills, has attracted a great deal of attention from researchers in recent years. This increasing interest demands that practitioners should examine their teaching practices from all corners,…

Semushin, I. V.; Tsyganova, J. V.; Ugarov, V. V.; Afanasova, A. I. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Russian higher education institutions' tradition of teaching large-enrolled classes is impairing student striving for individual prominence, one-upmanship, and hopes for originality. Intending to converting these drawbacks into benefits, a Project-Centred Education Model (PCEM) has been introduced to deliver Computational Mathematics and…

Investigating and Developing Engineering Students' Mathematical Modelling and Problem-Solving Skills
Wedelin, Dag; Adawi, Tom; Jahan, Tabassum; Andersson, Sven – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
How do engineering students approach mathematical modelling problems and how can they learn to deal with such problems? In the context of a course in mathematical modelling and problem solving, and using a qualitative case study approach, we found that the students had little prior experience of mathematical modelling. They were also inexperienced…

Hockicko, Peter; Krišták, Luboš; Nemec, Miroslav – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2015
Video analysis, using the program Tracker (Open Source Physics), in the educational process introduces a new creative method of teaching physics and makes natural sciences more interesting for students. This way of exploring the laws of nature can amaze students because this illustrative and interactive educational software inspires them to think…

Peer reviewedPicciarelli, V.; And Others – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1991
Results of a systematic investigation into university students' (n=236) misunderstandings of d.c. simple circuit operations are reported. These results provide evidence of various misconceptions present before and after teaching the following topics: a battery as a source of constant current; the functional relation expressed by Ohm's law; power…

Peer reviewedPicciarelli, V.; And Others – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1991
The results of an investigation concerned with sequential reasoning in interpreting the current flow in d.c. electric circuits are presented. Analysis of the results of a questionnaire completed by 236 college sophomores shows the presence of a common misunderstanding based on a "local" interpretation of the current flow. A copy of the…
