Theoretical Overview on the Improvement of Interest in Learning Theoretical Course for Engineering Students

<p class="apa">The phenomenon that engineering students have little interest in theoretical knowledge learning is more and more apparent. Therefore, most students fail to understand and apply theories to solve practical problems. To solve this problem, the importance of improving students’ interest in the learning theoretical course is discussed firstly in this paper. The definitions and essence of interest are also studied and discussed. Secondly, the challenges that most teachers have to face when they carry out teaching activities are analyzed. Then, the theorem of Kolb educator role are discussed and applied to solve the challenges. Finally, the corresponding role that teachers should play when they face the different challenge is presented and some effective approaches on improving students’ interest are provided.</p>

Using Short Video Lectures to Enhance Mathematics Learning - Experiences on Differential and Integral Calculus Course for Engineering Students

Mathematics' skills and knowledge lay the basis for engineering studies. However, the resources targeted to mathematics' teaching are in many cases very limited. During the past years in our university the reduction of mathematics' contact hours has been significant while at the same time the study groups have grown. However, the mathematical proficiency of incoming students has not increased. Consequently, during the contact hours, the learning of basics requires more time and the need of personalized learning is increasing. In this article a method based on short video lecturing to enhance mathematics' learning is pre- sented. The study explored how the students experienced the mathematics' studying from videos. In addition, it was investigated if the video lectures have an influence on students' motivation towards mathematics' learning. Overall, the results were encouraging and the short video lecturing seems to be worth considering while developing methods for mathematics' learning. This paper summarizes the observations during the examination.

Comparing Lecture and E-Learning as Learning Process in Mathematics and Statistics Courses for Engineering Students in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

In order to be parallel with young generations in terms of technology, e-learning was introduced to engineering students in FKAB. With the hope that e-learning is a way to enhance learning in a more convenient and cost-effective manner, on the other hand the traditional method as lecturing is still of use until now. This study examines students’ perception towards the importance and usefulness of modern technologies such as e-learning (WILEY PLUS) in comparison with the more traditional lecture, as knowledge delivery or alternatively, a method of learning process. The objectives of this study are to test whether there is any difference between these two methods and to identify which method is more important and agreeable to the students. The sample of this study consists of First Year and Second Year engineering students at the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment, UKM who have taken Mathematics and Statistics courses respectively. The paired t-test was used to compare these two methods. This study reveals that there is a significant difference between WILEY PLUS and lecturing in Mathematics and Statistics courses. Overall, lecturing was significantly of importance and favourable in the learning process for both courses compared to the newly-introduced WILEY PLUS.

A Proposal for Formative Assessment with Automatic Feedback on an Online Mathematics Subject

This article presents a new teaching methodology implemented on a basic mathematics course for Engineering students at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). The experience of its implementation in the 2010/11 academic year is described and the results are discussed. This methodology is based on formative assessment. As well as doing the activities contained in the course materials, students take weekly practice and assessment quizzes and receive automatic feedback. Not only are they told whether their answers are correct, but they also receive suggestions and comments on the possible sources of their errors. The results suggest that this teaching methodology gives students the opportunity to regulate their own learning processes while allowing lecturers to identify and react to problems in a responsive, timely manner. They also suggest that it fosters interaction among students and between students and lecturers. Moreover, since the teaching methodology was introduced, the number of students dropping out of the subject has fallen considerably. 

The Relationship Between Learning Styles and Achievement in Calculus Course for Engineering Students

The researches that have been done recently indicated that individuals’ ability to learn and interact might increase when the proper conditions are met that suitable for every single individual in terms of pace of comprehension and power of understanding. There are plenty of factors for formation of learning. One of the factors is the personal characteristic, which are resisted to change. Once you determined applying the proper way of teaching the students depending on their perceptions skills, it would simplify the process of selecting the appropriate teaching strategy. Therefore, the strategy selected through the students’ characteristics of learning creates a strong influence over the students’ performances at class. This fact aids to shift the importance towards to the students instead of the instructor and his/her routine teaching style, hi this study it has been defined how the engineering students’ learning styles are categorized. Moreover it has been examined that whether one or more learning styles are dominant among the group members or not. The purpose of this study is to raise the success level of the engineering students in calculus course which is an essential course in engineering education. Therefore it has been analyzed whether the success depends on the way of learning style or not. The data has been used in this paper is gathered from David Kolb's learning styles model and the students’ grades in their calculus course. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to evaluate the relationship between learning style and success for calculus course in engineering programmers. Consequently; base on the findings, a significant difference has been found among students’ learning styles and their performance on the calculus course. The results determined the discriminatory learning styles.

Integrating Technical Communication Skills into Practical English Courses for Engineering Students

Acquiring skills for global communication in English is one of the most urgent tasks we face in today's world. Especially in Japan, a major shift is taking place, from approaching English as one of the liberal arts, to teaching English as a practical tool for global communication. Particularly at the university level, which has a direct interface with the business world, various efforts are being made in teaching technical English communication. In this paper, I would like to present an approach for the effective incorporation of technical communication into the existing university-level pedagogical framework, based on the English education program currently in use at the Faculty of Engineering, Toyo University, Japan.

Replacing graph paper with interactive software in modeling and analysis of experimental data

The techniques presented in introductory engineering textbooks for modeling and analysis of experimental data nowadays are essentially the same as the ones that were presented over 35 years ago. Considerable potential now exists for dramatic improvements in data correlation and analysis because of the introduction of personal computers along with user-friendly interactive software which performs linear and nonlinear regressions and yields standard statistical results. This article presents some basic statistical concepts which are required to understand the results obtained from a regression package and demonstrates, using an example of vapor pressure correlation the proper technique for modeling and analysis of experimental data. Our experience and student performance has indicated that a 1st-year course for engineering students can effectively introduce students to the correlation and the modeling of experimental data. This capability can be given to students during two lectures and a 1-hour computer laboratory period plus an appropriate assignment, provided that an interactive regression package Polymath or EZfit, for example or a spreadsheet program with multiple linear regression capabilities is available. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
