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 ...
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’, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Exploring the prototypical definitions of intelligent engineers held by Irish and Swedish higher education engineering students
(SAGE, 2021-03-12)
Males are generally overrepresented in higher education engineering. However, the
magnitude of this variance differs between countries and engineering fields. Evidence
associated with the field-specific ability beliefs ...
Differences in perceived stress levels and measured stress while solving spatial tests
(ASEE, 2022-08-26)
Many events, including tests, personal conflicts, and hard deadlines, may result in a high level of stress for both students and educational practitioners. For example, taking a test is particularly stressful for students ...
An investigation into the role of spatial ability in problem solving in engineering education
(Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest, 2021-11)
Problem solving is a fundamental component of engineering practice and as such, the development of problem-solving skills is a core goal of engineering education. Problem-orientated pedagogical approaches are used in ...
