PBL in Engineering Education by Aida Guerra,Ronald Ulseth,Anette Kolmos Pdf

PBL in Engineering Education: International Perspectives on Curriculum Change presents diverse views on the implementation of PBL from across the globe. The purpose is to exemplify curriculum changes in engineering education. Drivers for change, implementation descriptions, challenges and future perspectives are addressed. Cases of PBL models are presented from Singapore, Malaysia, Tunisia, Portugal, Spain and the USA. These cases are stories of thriving success that can be an inspiration for those who aim to implement PBL and change their engineering education practices. In the examples presented, the change processes imply a transformation of vision and values of what learning should be, triggering a transition from traditional learning to PBL. In this sense, PBL is also a learning philosophy and different drivers, facing diverse challenges and involving different actors, trigger its implementation. This book gathers experiences, practices and models, through which is given a grasp of the complexity, multidimensional, systemic and dynamic nature of change processes. Anette Kolmos, director of Aalborg PBL Centre, leads off the book by presenting different strategies to curriculum change, addressing three main strategies of curriculum change, allowing the identification of three types of institutions depending on the type of strategy used. Following chapters describe each of the PBL cases based upon how they implement the seven components of PBL: (i) objectives and knowledge; (ii) types of problems, projects and lectures; (iii) progression, size and duration; (iv) students’ learning; (v) academic staff and facilitation; (vi) space and organization; and (vii) assessment and evolution. The book concludes with a chapter summarizing all chapters and providing an holistic perspective of change processes.

Engineering Education by John Heywood Pdf

A synthesis of nearly 2,000 articles to help make engineers better educators While a significant body of knowledge has evolved in the field of engineering education over the years, much of the published information has been restricted to scholarly journals and has not found a broad audience. This publication rectifies that situation by reviewing the findings of nearly 2,000 scholarly articles to help engineers become better educators, devise more effective curricula, and be more effective leaders and advocates in curriculum and research development. The author's first objective is to provide an illustrative review of research and development in engineering education since 1960. His second objective is, with the examples given, to encourage the practice of classroom assessment and research, and his third objective is to promote the idea of curriculum leadership. The publication is divided into four main parts: Part I demonstrates how the underpinnings of education—history, philosophy, psychology, sociology—determine the aims and objectives of the curriculum and the curriculum's internal structure, which integrates assessment, content, teaching, and learning Part II focuses on the curriculum itself, considering such key issues as content organization, trends, and change. A chapter on interdisciplinary and integrated study and a chapter on project and problem-based models of curriculum are included Part III examines problem solving, creativity, and design Part IV delves into teaching, assessment, and evaluation, beginning with a chapter on the lecture, cooperative learning, and teamwork The book ends with a brief, insightful forecast of the future of engineering education. Because this is a practical tool and reference for engineers, each chapter is self-contained and may be read independently of the others. Unlike other works in engineering education, which are generally intended for educational researchers, this publication is written not only for researchers in the field of engineering education, but also for all engineers who teach. All readers acquire a host of practical skills and knowledge in the fields of learning, philosophy, sociology, and history as they specifically apply to the process of engineering curriculum improvement and evaluation.

Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research by Aditya Johri,Barbara M. Olds Pdf

The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.

OUTCOME-BASED CURRICULUM IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION by EARNEST, JOSHUA,GUPTA, SHASHI KANT Pdf

Engineering Education has emerged as a fast developing 'discipline' in itself with universities across the world opening up exclusive 'Departments of Engineering Education' which is also impacting the socio-economic system in India. Most of the engineering institutions in India are part of the 'hub-and-spoke' university education system unique to India. Scientifically developing the 'Outcome-based Curriculum' (OBC) uniformly across India has been a daunting task, due to the dearth of an authentic book on OBC addressing the need of the Indian Engineering Education System. This being the first book of its kind in India and with OBC serving as the 'Constitution' of 'Outcome-based Education' (OBE), it will go a long way to address this need. The unique feature of this book is that it is replete with examples to explain the various concepts of planning, designing and implementing the OBC in engineering institutions. Different aspects of Outcome-based Teaching Learning (OBTL) and Outcome-based Assessment (OBA) are also discussed vividly. Apart from the examples weaved into the lucidly written seven chapters, additional examples and important formats are provided in the 'Annexures'; another unique feature of this book. Every engineering UG, PG, or Diploma teacher would be happy to possess a personal copy of this book for 24x7 access which will help to clear their doubts as it arises then and there. TARGET AUDIENCE • Technical Instruction • Technical Teacher Trainers • Curriculum Specialists/Instructional Designers • Education Policy Makers What the reviewers' say "The technical education has to adopt Outcome-Based Curriculum and there was a dire need of authentic literature which would serve as a base document for scientifically developing OBC. The book reflects the expertise of both the authors who have more than 30 years of experience in industry and academics in designing and implementing different variants of OBC for various technical education programmes. Such a book will serve as a reference for future generations to avoid 're-inventing the wheel again and again." —Dr. M.P. Poonia, Vice-Chairman, AICTE "National Institute of Technical Teacher Training and Research (NITTTR) Bhopal has been spearheading different forms of OBC for the last five decades in which the authors have contributed substantially. Care has been taken such that this book will not only benefit the Indian engineering education system, but also the engineering teaching fraternity at the international context."—Dr. C. Thangaraj, Director, NITTTR Bhopal

Training Engineering Students for Modern Technological Advancement by Alves, Anabela Carvalho,van Hattum-Janssen, Natascha Pdf

Engineering education leads the preparation of the next generation of engineers. This is a difficult task as engineering practices rapidly evolve, pressured by the technological advancements promoted by these same engineers. Engineering schools are integrated into large and rigid higher education institutions (HEI) that are not known for their agility. Nevertheless, engineering educators must have the agility to go beyond HEI boundaries to close the gap between professional practice needs and engineering education. Training Engineering Students for Modern Technological Advancement examines the role of engineering teachers in preparing the next generation of engineers and presents perspectives on active learning methods for engineering education. As such, it contributes to bypassing the compartmentalized way of course organization typical in many HEIs and prepares for more agile engineering education. Covering topics such as game-based teaching methods, Industry 4.0, and management skills, this book is a dynamic resource ideal for engineers, engineering professors, engineering students, general educators, engineering professionals, academicians, and researchers.
