The use of educational digital games as supplemental tools to course instruction materials has increased over the last several decades and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Though these types of instructional games have been employed in the majority of STEM disciplines, less is known about how diverse populations of students interpret and…

The need to integrate online learning tools into higher education, accelerated by advancements in technology, coupled with past realities that challenge physical engagements such as the COVID19 pandemic, is now an established reality (Li, 2022; Thomas & Abanikannda, 2023). Globally, it is correct to assert that the integration of technology…

This study explores the connection between patent citations and scientific publications across six fields: Biochemistry, Genetics, Pharmacology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. Analysing 117,590 papers from 2014 to 2023, the research emphasizes how publication year, open access (OA) status, and discipline influence patent citations. Openly…

The design process is full of judgment, especially around successes and failures that occur through each iteration. Decisions about how to proceed when ideas do not work can be especially challenging for beginning designers. Yet, experts are able to demonstrate more natural regulation of the process. This research focused on the experiences of…

Historically minoritized and marginalized students have had harmful discriminatory experiences within and outside of their classrooms, which has been shown to negatively impact their educational outcomes. Research has illustrated how the transformation of pedagogical decisions and classroom interactions that cultivate inclusive excellence have…

In Indonesia, the percentage of students dropping out from private universities is always much higher than that of public universities, and the second-highest number of dropouts comes from the engineering field. This study aims to improve the sustainability of engineering faculty in Indonesian private universities by obtaining variables that…

Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an educational approach that has gained popularity in response to the need for authentic learning environments. While the CBL literature is predominantly focused on cases of pedagogical implementations, the actual processes by which students develop CBL projects remain under-investigated. This shortitudinal study…

Contribution: This article discusses a research-practice partnership (RPP) where instructors from six undergraduate courses in three universities developed data science modules tailored to the needs of their respective disciplines, academic levels, and pedagogies. Background: STEM disciplines at universities are incorporating data science topics…

Despite efforts to implement innovative approaches such as flipped learning leveraging computer technology, the challenge of student failure persists. Understanding the factors that contribute to student success in flipped engineering courses remains a critical issue. This study addresses this issue by investigating the impact of student…

Purpose: This paper describes a senior-level biomedical engineering course designed to educate students on primary literature analysis and effective scientific communication. The course integrates elements from both disciplines through in-class discussions of primary research articles and an innovative annotation project utilizing the Science in…

Creative teaching behavior (CTB) is an innovative and creative teaching approach that is relevant in facing the dynamics of vocational education, which continues to develop, especially to produce creative students. Many studies examine the important role of CTB. However, limited information still discusses how to improve CTB by involving important…

The "Escuela de Ingenieros Industriales de Barcelona (School of Industrial Engineers of Barcelona)" (EIIB) was founded in 1851 within the context of a reorganisation of technical education in Spain. From 1867 to 1899 it was the only Industrial Engineering school in the country, which emphasises its relevance in the development and…

STEM is a field where gender stereotypes regarding men persist. Women are underrepresented compared to men in STEM fields. The social belief that engineering is only for men discourages young girls from pursuing such endeavors. Encouraging young girls to enter STEM fields is crucial to dispel these stereotypes. Therefore, one of the essential…

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…

A co-curricular program was initiated to increase the opportunities for engineering undergraduates to engage in self-directed and industry-relevant learning. The program included three track options: professional certifications, design projects, and entrepreneurship training. The goals of the program are to increase degree completion, industry…
