The power of feedback.

Traditional engineering instruction is deductive, beginning with theories and progressing to the applications of those theories Alternative teaching approaches are more inductive Topics are introduced by presenting specific observations, case studies or problems, and theories are taught or the students are helped to discover them only after the need to know them has been established This study reviews several of the most commonly used inductive teaching methods, including inquiry learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based teaching, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching The paper defines each method, highlights commonalities and specific differences, and reviews research on the effectiveness of the methods While the strength of the evidence varies from one method to another, inductive methods are consistently found to be at least equal to, and in general more effective than, traditional deductive methods for achieving a broad range of learning outcomes

The role of project-based learning in engineering curriculum: the case of the industrial engineering and management program at the University of Minho

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to implement and evaluate active learning strategies to support engineering students in the development of research competences, contributing to the growing need for a closer relationship between research and teaching.Design/methodology/approachThis study was developed using an action research approach. The data were collected through observations, questionnaire and focus group in order to evaluate the active learning strategies used in the context of the study, based on students' perceptions.FindingsThe results show that the implementation of active learning strategies, such as research-based learning and think-pair-share enhance the development of research competences, namely critical thinking and written communication. Additionally, this approach enables students to develop further their capstone projects, using the standards demanded in research process.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was based mainly on teacher's observation and the participants are undergraduate engineering students enrolled in the course “Scientific Methodology” during 1 academic year.Practical implicationsTwo levels of implications can be identified in this study: (1) for teachers' practice, who can adapt the step-by-step descriptions of the implemented approaches and (2) for research, contributing to the discussion about how to explore the teaching-research relationship in undergraduate courses.Originality/valueThe course of “Scientific Methodology” is part of the curricular structure of most undergraduate engineering programs offered by Brazilian Higher Education Institutions, and this study is a contribution for the improvement of knowledge on how this course may be conducted in an effective and engaging way.

Active learning strategies to develop research competences in engineering education

We often approach teaming in course design with a very simple philosophy: If students are put on teams, they will learn teamwork skills and get the educational benefits of teaming. In reality, team dynamics are complex and course design influences which of the plausible benefits of teaming students actually obtain. In this workshop, we explore the design of teaming experiences from a pragmatic perspective. Participants experience first-hand some of the complexities of team dynamics in project-based learning; consider how instructor choices in course design enhance or diminish the effectiveness of teaming; learn about some of the relevant background research; and begin to situate their own curricular choices within a framework for scaffolding successful teaming experiences. Participants employ design thinking tools (student personas, interaction narratives) in order to explore what a team, and the individual students team members, might experience within a given teaming paradigm. We identify team pitfalls, share a broader set of insights about student engineering teams, and discuss specific approaches to scaffolding the development of teaming skills that responds specifically to the needs of particular students and particular institutions.
