The present paper is a data note related to the paper "Gender perspectives on a flipped classroom environment". The paper drew on an in-depth analysis of the interview with a single female student called Sofia and attempted to analyze different gender related interactions between students in group work situations experienced by this…

Metacognitive information has been shown to be related to performance in learning tasks. We investigated feelings of difficulty (FOD) in the context of university-level mathematics and asked whether and to what extent they predict performance. To this end, we conducted an experiment with 90 students and six experienced lecturers. We carefully…

In this article, the newly elected 2017-2018 President of the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA), Edward M. Reeve, presents his welcome message in the format of Willy Wonka giving Charlie the Chocolate Factory. Upon becoming a member of ITEEA, one automatically gets a "golden ticket" as a professional…

Imposter phenomenon (IP) is characterized by an internal perception of one's intellectual fraudulence despite having objective and consistent accomplishments in a career. IP is prevalently observed among high-achieving, successful, and accomplished individuals, including students heading toward high-achieving careers. The current study explored…

Engineering education research has highlighted the importance of examining, understanding, and supporting teacher learning and identity development, particularly for those that hold marginalized identities. As part of the special issue on Teacher Learning and Organizational Contexts, this study examines the intricate relationship between powered…

Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a lean manufacturing technique, is a process analysis approach that focuses on value and waste. This project explored the development and incorporation of a VSM-inspired tool to help dance composition students consider the value present in their choreography explicitly. The proposed Choreographic Tension Mapping (CTM)…

The authors develop an educational simulation game for basic vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) to use in chemical engineering education, basing the design on educational guidelines from the active learning literature. The game is tested in three cohorts totalling 84 students, showing significant increase in a knowledge test of VLE, and positive…

Israel suffers from a severe STEM teacher shortage. To mitigate it, two retraining projects were developed: one recruiting academic high-tech professionals and the other -- practical engineers. This study evaluated both projects by exploring stakeholders' perspectives and examining graduates' retention. Applying a mixed-methods case study design,…

English-medium instruction (EMI) is gaining popularity in higher education (HE) worldwide, with the aim of enhancing students' English proficiency and professional abilities. However, many students still struggle with learning various subjects in English. While the challenges in EMI are widely discussed in many studies, it is necessary to look…

When learning physics, students need more than just an understanding of mathematical and physical concepts. Integrating the two fields is crucial, as research indicates that students often struggle even when they have a strong grasp of both. In this paper, we use the heat equation as an example from higher education. Given the importance of the…

Data science has become an increasingly popular topic among engineering students and practitioners as high-profile engineering applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence continue to make headlines. Companies in engineering domains are placing a growing emphasis on hiring engineers who can extract insights and create value from…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions navigated the integration of distance learning to meet evolving educational needs. This study evaluates 'fused learning', blending distance instruction with face-to-face assessment, compared to traditional methods at the Public University of Navarre. The study involved 112 business…

Virtual reality (VR) is an effective technology when applied to higher education. A fruitful line of research is the study of the reception of VR by the agents involved, especially professors. This provides keys to help universities and countries, especially developing ones, in the process of digital integration. In this work, a quantitative…

Purpose: The systematic review adheres to the methodology outlined in the practical guide by Petticrew and Roberts (2006). Following this approach, research questions were initially formulated, as detailed in the introduction section. Subsequently, databases were selected, and research terms were defined. The search, conducted in September 2023,…

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping biomedical engineering (BME) education. This paper presents insights from "The Fifth Biomedical Engineering Education Summit", which brought together educators from across the U.S. to address challenges and opportunities in integrating GenAI into BME curricula.…
