Assessing design activity in engineering education: a proposed synthesis of adaptive comparative judgement and the CDIO Framework.
(ASEE, 2018)
One of the leading frameworks in engineering education specifically associated with design based competencies is the CDIO framework. This has been incorporated internationally into many institutions offering engineering ...
Investigating the effect of engineering student's spatial ability and expertise on general complex problem solving
(Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus, 2021-04-26)
Spatial ability is attributed to success in STEM disciplines and is outlined as a component of general cognitive ability through the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model of human intelligence. Research in spatially orientated ...
The predictive capacity of spatial ability for knowledge retention in third level technology and engineering education.
(Technology Education Research Group, 2019-06)
It is well established that spatial ability correlates with STEM performance. THis has been shown through substantial longitudinal evidence e.g. (Wai, Lubinski, & Benbow, 2009). Specifically, it has been demonstrated as ...

Engineering education research methods to determine conceptions of engineers and of engineering.
(EERN, 2019-05)
Engineering education research has been categorised into the five research areas of ‘engineering epistemologies’, ‘engineering learning mechanisms’, ‘engineering learning systems’, engineering diversity and inclusiveness’, ...
A comparison of Swedish and Irish secondary students' conceptions of engineers and engineering using the draw-an-engineer test
(ASEE, 2019-06)
Women are significantly underrepresented in engineering and engineering related disciplines. One area where this is clearly illustrated is in the percentage of females enrolled in higher education engineering courses. The ...
Investigating the role of visualisation in complex problem-solving across expertise in engineering education
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Spatial ability is proposed to play an important role in problem solving and may contribute to supporting engineering students in solving complex problems.
Hambrick, et al., in the context of geology, determined individuals ...
Perspectives on engineering education from the world of practice
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-11-16)
This special issue on early career engineers responds to a key challenge in engineering education –
that of bringing the largely separate worlds of engineering education and engineering practice
closer together. There ...
A preliminary model of problem categorisation to explore the cognitive abilities required for problem solving in engineering education.
(TERG, 2018-06)
The provision of engineering education as a means of enabling students to develop contemporary
transversal competencies such as problem solving, critical thinking, adaptive reasoning and
communication, places a responsibility ...
Engineering students' perceptions of the role of work industry-related activities on their motivation for studying and learning in higher education
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-06-29)
A number of key graduate outcomes related to industry-based
interventions and work-industry-related activities (WIA’s) are specified
by the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance for all Engineering Degree
Programmes. A ...
