The article discusses the efficacy of game-based learning (GBL) in logistics education, specifically through an empirical evaluation of the "Logistics Simulator LOST." Recognizing the complexities of evaluating serious games--interactive serious games platforms designed for educational, purpose--the article emphasizes the need for games…

Purpose: Hands-on training in tissue engineering is often associated with specialized labs and expensive equipment, such as CO[subscript 2] incubators. To minimize the use of costly commercial incubators and provide a more vivid engineering experience in a biology lab, we present a hands-on project that introduces medium to large groups of…

Research support demonstrates the value of academic libraries and librarians. Recent studies have revealed that research support has been evolving from traditional citation analysis to advanced library services such as research field trend/frontiers analysis and talent evaluation. Using a powerful bibliometric tool CiteSpace and "active…

Investigating students' thinking in classroom tasks, particularly in science and engineering, is essential for improving educational practices and advancing student learning. In this context, the notion of "Ways of Thinking" (WoT) has gained traction in STEM education, offering a framework to explore how students approach and solve…

The rapid adoption and evolution of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT and Gemini have impacted marketing education and practice. This paper introduces a prompt engineering assignment that utilizes generative AI to build critical thinking skills through the development of keyword research strategies, customer profiles, and…

This study aims to align English language instruction with the specialized needs of engineering students at Alamein International University (AIU) through a comprehensive, multi-phase needs analysis. By integrating quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews, the research identifies key linguistic and technical competencies required by…

This paper examines supporting elements of senior engineering students' career aspirations within a problem-based learning (PBL) environment in Denmark. Using the systems theory framework of career development, this study investigates both individual and contextual influences of career aspirations. A mixed-method approach was employed,…

This book examines professional engineering education in the Asia-Pacific region in the context of the history of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tasmania. It chronicles the development of professional engineering education at the University of Tasmania following the establishment of schools/faculties of engineering in Australia…

This study explores engineering design students' perceptions of their agency for sustainability in a Danish problem- and project-based learning (PBL) context. A conceptual framework is proposed with three dimensions: personal, action, and contextual. Q methodology was adopted to investigate the subjective views of 24 first-year undergraduate…

Engineering design entails making value-laden judgments against ill-defined, ambiguous, and/or competing sociotechnical criteria. In this article, we argue that such conditions make engineering designers particularly susceptible to the potentially deleterious effects of mis/disinformation in the processes and practices of engineering design, their…

Surveys over a 12-year period of graduating chemical engineers at a major non-regional university were used to evaluate key associations between undergraduate activities and obtaining a job offer. The undergraduate activities include working toward a high GPA, club participation, multicultural experiences, working as an intern, and research…

This article describes the creation and evaluation designed to support student success through their inclusion in a variety of professional and technical training programs. The opportunity to develop a leadership academy specifically for engineering students allowed faculty program coordinators to deliver content that was normally not available to…

Purpose: This study aimed to provide guidelines and insights for all stakeholders of the career ecosystem including students, training and placement (T&P) coordinators, higher education institutes and recruiting organizations to prepare students for the graduate labor market, resulting in enhanced graduate employment.…

Purpose: A solid understanding of anatomy is a cornerstone of the medical and health science fields. However, many biomedical engineering (BME) graduate students' educational background lacks human anatomy instruction, which may impact research and design considerations. To address this shortcoming, we created a two-semester graduate-level…

Calculus is the foundation for any STEM degree, yet a large percentage of students fail calculus. Very little is known about the effect purposefully designed video games can have on STEM students studying calculus. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact a purposefully designed educational video game has on freshmen college students…
