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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
