Abstract
The learning approach is always being the concern of educators to increase the quality of engineering education. Engineering education is essential in order to nurture quality engineers and prepare the workforce for country development. Coming to Industrial 4.0, modern engineering education has combined ICT technology to meet the demand of Education 4.0. This paper aims to review blended learning to enhanced engineering education using flipped classroom approach. The paper starts with an overview of the current trend of engineering education, which encourages using blended learning approach. Blended learning was developed to overcome the advantages and disadvantages of traditional learning and online learning, which brings a better learning experience to students. From the review, the blended learning using flipped classroom approach have positively assisted students in their learning. Future ongoing research is recommended to explore the potential of flipped classroom approach use in supporting engineering education specifically in the context of Malaysia.
Highlights
Engineering education is a critical component of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education
Tertiary education is the last difficulty for engineering graduates before they move to the workplace
Research by Soon and Quek further explained that, in order to maintain the quality of engineer graduates, the Board of Engineer Malaysia admit and manages the professional engineers, the Institution of Engineer Malaysia (IEM) provide continuous professional development, and the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) responsible for certifying the engineering courses in Malaysian universities [16]
Summary
Engineering education is a critical component of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. As stated in Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) report, the future plan of engineering education will be emerging and more focus to student-centred learning with the combination of offcampus personalised online learning and on-campus practical experience learning [2]. Such indication encourages for the using of blended learning pedagogy in engineering education.
