A Conceptual Qualitative Framework for Assessing Human Systems Engineering Education Outcomes and Opportunities

Human systems engineering education seeks to infuse principles of applied psychology, cognitive science, human factors, and user-centered design into the engineering curriculum to help students understand the people they are engineering for (e.g., clients) and their own roles as engineers. This paper outlines a conceptual qualitative framework for formative assessment of students’ incorporation of human systems engineering concepts in their projects and documentation. The framework examines potential conceptual dimensions along with applications, sources, and depth of such knowledge, which we argue can begin to evaluate students’ work and inform iterative efforts to improve human-centered engineering education programs. Example applications of the framework based on several data sets are discussed.

Fishbone Diagram: Application to Identify the Root Causes of Student–Staff Problems in Technical Education

Fishbone diagram, also called as `cause-and-effect' diagram, is a tool used to identify the root cause of problems which represents the effect and the factors or causes influencing it. The tool is a template for brainstorming possible causes of an effect. As there could be infinite causes, this helps in identifying the root cause/s in a structured and precise way. An attempt has been made in this paper to use this technique to identify problems in the engineering education system in India, considering student and staff as the stakeholder. Major problems are classified and Fishbone diagram is used to analyse the root causes focusing on select parameters like personnel, academics, resources and universities. By identifying the causes, feasible solutions are suggested for improvement. A detailed analysis of student-staff problems is done by taking the case study of engineering institutes in general. The solutions suggested particularly are implemented in Sandip University Nashik.

Renewable Energy Education in India

Abstract The issue of renewable energy sources that have great potential to give solutions to the longstanding energy problems of India has been considered. It has been stated that renewable energy sources are an important part of India’s plan to increase energy security and provide new generation with ample job opportunities. India’s plans to move towards green technology and address environmental concerns associated with the country and the world have been characterized. The peculiarities of the renewable energy education in India as a subject and as a specialized branch of engineering or science at different education levels in both government-funded and private institutes across India have been outlined. Science and engineering education system with detailed structure of the degree (undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral and post-doctoral) course has been described. Comparative study of renewable energy education systems of other countries has been performed. It has been stated that currently in India science colleges offer undergraduate renewable energy course as BSc. (Renewable Energy) and Postgraduate level course (MSc) that are offered in different science institutes in the specialization of Renewable Energy, Energy Management, Energy Studies, Physics (Energy) etc. Doctoral and postdoctoral research is offered by a few science institutions in India which is a more focused research (issues) in solar energy or wind energy field. The process of studying in a number of Indian institutes specializing in renewable energy has been described and compared to other world educational establishments of Spain, Mexico, and Russia. Advantages and disadvantages of renewable energy specialization education have been defined. It has been determined that there is an immediate need for the development of requisite demonstration which should be provided at appropriate levels in which both on-job as well as traditional training in these areas should be given to the expansive audience with the aid of modern andragogy techniques.

Engaging and Retaining Women in an Engineering and Entrepreneurship Program [Commentary

Workplace and classroom culture, persistent stereotypes, and gender-specific pressures have all been suggested as reasons for the gender discrepancy in engineering. This article shares some of the behind-the-scenes observations and strategies that have proven successful to recruit, engage, retain, and propel women on their engineering career trajectories. Though the HESE program is small when compared to the engineering student body, our study of the motivations is significant because these observations have been consistently apparent over the past decade of the program's operation, and during that time period participation of women stayed above 50% of the total. The observations detailed here have implications for engineering and entrepreneurship education systems as well as large corporations, governmental agencies, and other societal actors that want to attract and retain women in their organizations.

PROCASEE: AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EDUCATION

ABSTRACTTeaching systems engineering is a very challenging task where the complexity of the engineered systems must be considered together with systems engineering complexity itself. This article illustrates a solution that can help train systems engineers with different levels of expertise, and that should be easily transmissible from a university to another, and from a specific engineering discipline to another. The article deals with both the proposed pedagogical approach, for systems engineering education, and its supporting web‐based platform, called ProCASEE. The proposed approach is based on the recommendations of academic and industrial communities. It is centered on the use of systems engineering standardized processes and at the same time very adaptive the learning context. Our proposal also provides the ability to make the learning scenarios driven by the acquired or to‐be‐acquired systems engineering competencies.

The role of a creative "joint assignment" project in biomedical engineering bachelor degree education.

Biomedical Engineering (BME) bachelor education aims to train qualified engineers who devote themselves to addressing biological and medical problems by integrating the technological, medical and biological knowledge. Design thinking and teamwork with other disciplines are necessary for biomedical engineers. In the current biomedical engineering education system of Shanghai University (SHU), however, such design thinking and teamwork through a practical project is lacking. This paper describes a creative "joint assignment" project in Shanghai University, China, which has provided BME bachelor students a two-year practical experience to work with students from multidisciplinary departments including sociology, mechanics, computer sciences, business and art, etc. To test the feasibility of this project, a twenty-month pilot project has been carried out from May 2015 to December 2016. The results showed that this pilot project obviously enhanced competitive power of BME students in Shanghai University, both in the capabilities of design thinking and teamwork.

Simulation Based Printing Engineering Education for Women in Engineering Students in South Korea

To increase the retention rate of women engineering students as human resources of the field of Graphic Arts and Printing (GAP) industries in South Korea, we introduced the simulation based engineering education method and developed the screen printing simulator for same purpose. Before setting up this education method, factor analysis for female engineering students at P University, which is a model university in South Korea, was conducted. The analytical results showed that social and cultural effects are more significant ones than social effect alone, and the effects of gender discrimination in industrial fields. Also results showed responses that the physical differences between man and women students, such as the ability to drive printing machines or to handle tools, their parents’ financial support for experiments, and the gender cognitive engineering education. In this research, we developed the measurement tool to measure women students’ competencies in GAP industries and contributed to make the women in engineering education according to the results of factor analysis. These researches have been progressed since 2006 annually, and we had proposed to programs for the gender cognitive engineering education and the special programs for women engineering students. The retention rate of female engineering students was increased from 30% at 2006 to over 50% in 2016. And the rate of women students who change their major from 5% to decreased 1 %. According to the lecture evaluation, 98% of women students were very satisfied the simulated education method. So we found that the factor analysis and the simulated engineering education system for GAP women students have progressed successfully.
