Project-based learning plays a central part in many study programs in technology and engineering and have demonstrated success both in motivating students and promoting effective learning both of t
Technology is evolving at a very rapid rate in today's society.
Reflective writing in Engineering is still a relative novelty. Engineering education focuses on technologies and engineering methods, in short, how to do stuff.
Programming has gradually become an essential skill for engineers and scientists across dis- ciplines and is an important part of the CDIO Syllabus covering fundamental knowledge and reasoning.
Engineering curricula in higher education should be aligned with the current and future requirements of the industry to ensure industry-ready graduates.
Understanding and implementing educational approaches that integrate entrepreneurship and innovation in engineering education (CDIO Syllabus 4.1, 4.2, 5.2) plays a pivotal role as part of Technical
Reflective learning can be defined as "practice which involves the development of learning and understanding through self-review to help determine progress against goals and future learning nee
In today's team-based and distributed workplaces, engineers who work together to solve com- plex technical challenges require technical competencies but also require other engineering professional
CONTEXT: There is a growing interest in engineering education that the curriculum should include collaborative design projects.
This study focuses on the progression between courses in a programme, meaning that the learning experiences build upon and reinforce the previous ones.
Calls for changes in higher education are omnipresent and motivated by major challenges for society.
Even though economics is still mostly being taught in a traditional manner, there seems to be increasing emphasis on the role of concept relevance in better teaching.
Student active learning has been shown to have a significant positive effect on learning outcomes as experienced by students.
In the context of engineering education, there has been a turn toward seeing the future engineer as an agent in society, resolving perceivingly more complex problems, often in cooperation with repr
Engineering Thermodynamics is an important engineering discipline in universities, concerned mainly with traditional and alternative sources of energy in terms of availability, movement, and conver
The Computer Science program of the School of Engineering at the Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción is working to adopt CDIO Optional Standard 1: Sustainable Development and cover sust
Upon graduation, engineering graduates will find themselves in diverse, interconnected, and fast-paced work environments.
There is no doubt about the importance of lifelong learning (LLL) and the responsibility that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) hold to guide and support students in the development of LLL compe
Today’s workplace is characterized by continuous technological advancements and shifting requirements in the labour market, increasing the need for lifelong learning (LLL) competencies for engineer
To deal with societal challenges, future engineers need new skills and competences. Design thinking is one such skill.
There is still a gender bias in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) sector. The progress towards gender balance has been very slow.
Hybrid education is a complex combination of simultaneous face-to-face and online teaching.
It is important for software developers to keep up with technology, be able to adapt, learn new things to be competitive in the labour market, and be exposed to new and different things to avoid ge
