Cross curricular Comparison of Professional Capabilities in Engineering Education

In this paper we studied the student’s perception of the acquisition of professional capabilities in Challenge based learning environments with a strong reflective component.<br/>The results show students feel the relevance of personnel development from the very moment the enter their master studies. However, they only truly acquire all the...

Augmented reality for learning mathematics: A pilot study with webxr as an accessible tool

One of the concerns in service mathematics courses, such as calculus for engineering, is students’ interest in these studies. Research suggests that engineering undergraduates’ lack of awareness about the importance of mathematics for their study success and for their careers contributes to their low motivation for mathematics. An approach to...

An investigation on integration of computational thinking into engineering curriculum at delft university of technology

Our life is surrounded by digital devices. Engineering education is one of the cornerstones in higher education for future generations and computational thinking (CT) is deemed as a core component in various engineering curricula. The Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), is the largest technical university in the Netherlands and computing;...

Research on mathematical competencies in engineering education: Where are we now?

In tertiary mathematics education for engineers (hereafter called service mathematics education, SME), there is a long-lasting controversy on what and how to teach. The goal of SME is to provide a base for engineering-specific courses and to develop mathematical competencies needed for academic success and professional practice. A leading...
