An evaluation of the efficacy of a contemporary engineering education framework
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
The research aims to determine the role of cognitive abilities in problem solving in engineering education. The investigation of these abilities will contribute to a key objective of the research, informing curricular ...
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 ...
Implicit theories of intelligence in STEM education: perspectives through the lens of technology education students.
(Springer, 2019)
The educational significance of eliciting students’ implicit theories of intelligence
is well established with the majority of this work focussing on theories regarding
entity and incremental beliefs. However, a second ...
Comparative judgement: an overview
(Springer, 2021-05-30)
There is a growing demand for the use of digital tools in assessment. Few approaches show innovative benefits beyond being logistical aids. Comparative judgment (CJ) has the potential to enhance educational practices by ...
Development of the large-tonnage pressure-type prestressed anchor cable with BFRP for geotechnical engineering and its mechanical properties
(Wiley/Hindawi, 2022)
Prestressed anchor cable is widely used in geotechnical engineering to control the displacement or landslide of an unstable slope.
However, the traditional cable anchor is made of steel material, which is easy to get rust ...
Investigating perceptions of intelligence as an approach to understanding female representation in technology and engineering education.
(TERG, 2019-06)
Gender representation in technology and engineering education is generally not equitable with females being underrepresented in many areas (e.g. Sultan, Axell, & Hallström, 2018; Yoder, 2017). While there are many perspectives ...
Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
(EuroDyn, 2011-07)
The characteristic vertical vibration of a flexible footbridge subject to crowd loading is examined in this paper.
Typically, bridge vibrations produced from a crowd of pedestrians are estimated by using an enhancement ...
Demo: A QoE and visual attention evaluation on the influence of audio in 360° videos.
(IEEE, 2020-08-31)
360° video, also known as immersive video, is the recording of video content which simultaneously captures scene information in every direction, using an omnidirectional camera. Due to their immersive nature, the popularity ...
A semantically automated protocol adapter for mapping SOAP web services to RESTful HTTP format to enable the web infrastructure, enhance web services interoperability and ease web service migration
(MDPI, 2012-04-11)
Semantic Web Services (SWS) are Web Service (WS) descriptions augmented with semantic information. SWS enable intelligent reasoning and automation in areas such as service discovery, composition, mediation, ranking and ...
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)
The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the
past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ...
