Contribution: This single case study represents a unique attempt to examine a music teacher's experiences as he took on the challenge of teaching a high school level engineering course. The study contributes to the growing body of research and conversations around science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) versus non-STEM beliefs,…

Contribution: This article introduces the teaching and learning with remote laboratories and MATLAB for an undergraduate system identification (SI) course, which can be employed for students at the advanced level with a control background. Background: SI has been widely used in all engineering fields; thus, the SI course that includes complex…

Augmented reality (AR) has tremendous potential as a teaching and learning tool in engineering education to enhance students' learning experience; it influences the students' spatial ability for real-time visualization. Furthermore, this helps to attain better concept comprehension pertaining to improved understanding of the topics. The present…

In this study, an instructional programme was designed and implemented with preschool teachers to teach them about integrated STEM education. This paper focused on how this instruction changed teachers' perceptions of engineering. The study aimed at exploring what the teachers learned about engineering, one of the STEM disciplines, throughout…

Engineering educators strive to help students understand concepts that may be difficult and counterintuitive. This often entails helping students bring their understanding of how a phenomenon works into alignment with the scientifically-accepted explanation. For the most part, fostering conceptual change has been thought of as a process of…

Undergraduate science/engineering students are being encouraged to engage in inquiry- or design-based learning with global dimensions. However, outcomes of longer versus short overseas engagements have been predominantly anecdotal. In light of the high cost associated with longer engagements, a comparative assessment for short and long stays is…

The goal of this study was to determine the extent civil engineering programs include topics from the civil engineering-specific fundamentals of engineering (FE) exam in their curricula. Data were gathered from a representative sample of 86 civil engineering program curricula in the 2017-2018 academic year and mapped to the 18 civil engineering FE…

The prime aim of the study was to investigate and understand first-year pre-engineering students' perceptions about mathematics teachers' knowledge and instruction. A case study method was employed as a mode of inquiry and a Likert-type survey for data collection. Participants included 158 first-year pre-engineering students and five mathematics…

Purpose: At present, humankind is facing rapid and profound changes in society, science, technology, economy and environment. The 21st century has witnessed extraordinary scientific and technological progressions. Improvement of technology has generated new educational technique known as e-learning. Nowadays, popularity of e-learning is growing…

Contribution: This study compares the outcome-based education (OBE) system with the traditional teaching--learning methods. A detailed analysis regarding the effectiveness of these techniques at Riphah International University (RIU), Faisalabad Campus is presented. Background: Education is becoming more demanding in terms of students' learning. In…

While the fourth industrial revolution continues to change manufacturing enterprises all over the world, not all enabling key technologies are taught sufficiently at universities. For this purpose, a new lecture at the Montanuniversität Leoben was designed, teaching students of miscellaneous engineering disciplines, the fundamentals of…

Learning to teach science using engineering design is a complex endeavor for elementary preservice teachers (PSTs). This entails helping PSTs understand students as sense makers and recognizing ways to notice, respond, and leverage their students' ideas throughout the design process. In this study, we follow a cohort of elementary PSTs through a…

Toys used as a play tool have an important role in the development of children. For this reason, it is necessary to offer children the opportunity to design their own toys. Scientific toys can be used in science lessons to encourage creativity and to teach science concepts and scientific inquiry. With the integrated STEM Education and specifically…

Theories of self-efficacy and approaches to learning are well-established in the psychology of learning. However, studies on relationships between the primary constructs on which these theories are developed are rarely reported in mathematics education research. Thus, the purpose of the current study is to provide empirical evidence for a…

The motivation, philosophy, and organization of a course on artificial intelligence in chemical engineering is presented. The purpose is to teach undergraduate and graduate students how to build AI-based models that incorporate a first principles-based understanding of our products, processes, and systems. This is achieved by combining…
