Conceive, design, implementation and operate (CDIO) is an advanced method to educate engineering students. The CDIO embedded system program was a one month project-based learning exercise. This program was executed amongst the lecturers in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (Terengganu) (UiTMT). It allows the participants to experience the whole process of CDIO, starting from the conceived process of solving a problem given by the instructor until the project was fully functional. The effectiveness of this program was benchmarked based on the number of group participants with fully functional prototypes.

The growth in information technology has led to a higher level of education process. Web-based system provides indisputable advantages to educational resource relevantly and convincingly. Supervision for final year project students seems to have major infirmity in two-ways communication between supervisor and supervisee, which affected the outcomes of their findings. Thus, e-Supervision system is developed to enhance the communications between supervisee and supervisor via virtual conversations. Three-tier architecture is implemented to develop the system. By inventing this system, both conventional method and online system can be adapted in the supervision process to boost the outcome of the students' research or project.

This paper presents the development of an online-based continuous-assessment repository system designed to cater the needs for both lecturers and students. Conventional methods of notifying continuous assessment marks, e.g. test or assignment marks to students include displaying the students' marks on the bulletin boards or merely by returning the marked tests or assignments to students. While these are common practices, some lecturers are doing a better job by taking advantages of the Internet, i.e. by uploading their students' carry marks onto the student portal or by notifying students about their results via emails. The proposed system offers useful features for lecturers to upload their students' continuous-assessment marks onto an online database. This system provides an interface for the students to view their ongoing assessment marks throughout the semester via a web browser. Being an online-based system, it provides 24 hours access for students via any types of electronic devices with data connection that are able to run a web-browser. This system offers additional advantages when compared with other online systems, where it does not only display the raw marks obtained by students, but also the analysis of the marks and targeted final exam mark based on currently achieved marks. Having such a system will benefit not only the students but also for the faculty to progressively monitor students' performance throughout the semester.

Engineers often need to make sense of mathematical structures in differential equations to deal with real life problems. However, students showed difficulties in grasping them. This study presents the teaching of mathematical structures in differential equations using a computer algebra system. The computer algebra systems played the role as a pedagogical tool to enhance teaching mathematical structures. Findings showed the nature of the problems, prompts and questions assisted engineering undergraduates to make sense of mathematical structures. Explanations and links were the most frequent type of mathematical structures employed in solving real life problems. While techniques and representations were the most frequent mathematical structures adopted during solving procedural problems. This study implies that instructors should use computer algebra systems strategically to teach meaningful mathematics.

A large number of higher education institutes are increasingly embracing online learning. Australia is fairly one of the primarily countries that attracts a large number of international students. A lot of delivery methods have been attempted in higher education to attract students from various environments. Many numbers of students are already taking different mode of online learning such as distance education, synchronous online learning, asynchronous online learning, and recently with the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). Nevertheless, there are still difficulties of implementing online learning such as teaching and learning online, the capability of technologies, the support needed for high quality lecturers, and the needs of students. Adding to these factors, well-designed pedagogy, proper technology, and students' needs are another requisite to draw better quality of online learning for higher educational environment. To navigate the upcoming storm of online learning in higher education, good understanding of current status of online learning and direction of future online learning is necessitated. In response, a survey was conducted to explore perceptions of different delivery methods from both students and faculties in Australian university. Based on the result, this research proposed a framework to enhance variety of delivery methods in higher education.

This paper highlights the importance of using student data to drive improvement in education planning. It then presents techniques of how to obtain knowledge from databases such as large arrays of student data from academic Institution databases. Further, it describes the development of a tool that will enable faculty members to identify, predict and classify students based on academic performance measured using Cumulative Grade point average (CGPA) grades. The need for prediction of a student's performance is to enable the university to intervene and provide assistance to low achievers as early as possible. Included in the paper is a brief overview of the most commonly used classifiers techniques in educational data mining and an outline of the use of Neuro-Fuzzy classification in a case study research to predict and classify students' academic achievement in an Electrical Engineering faculty of a Malaysian public university.

This paper presents the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method in the Process Control Laboratory for the flow control plant. This laboratory is designed for final year system engineering undergraduates. The flow control plant can be operated either using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) or Distributed Control System (DCS). DCS was used as a group work task for this laboratory for Proportional and Integral (PI) tuning method experiments. Facts, Ideas, Learning Issues and Actions (FILA) table has been used to extract the problems given in the problem statement lab sheets. A performance comparison of PID controller tuning methods for controlling the flow control trainer was recorded. The selection of controller parameter's value determines the stability of the process. The open-loop tests were performed on a plant and the information extracted from the methods was used for the tuning rules. The optimum values of P and I parameters were set based various tuning rules. The performance of these tuning rules was compared after closed-loop set point change operation. The fine tuning technique was used as an open ended solution in order to improve the result where the values of PI were tuned.

Design thinking is a popular method to make an innovation. It is a methodology of thinking as a human-centered experience. Japanese enterprises have a tendency to set a high value on students' innovative skills. This paper is an introduction to example of design thinking of Kanazawa Technical College (KTC) engineering education. KTC has several programs in its curriculum and extra-curriculum. “Design method” and “Engineering Management” are the subjects for learning the design thinking methodology. “Graduation research”, “Learning Express”, and “Mini-Hydro Power Generation Contest” are the programs for practicing the learned skills actually. Those programs received good response from the participated students and good result. In order to promote the design thinking, we disseminate it to all faculties, and made clear criteria for evaluating students' activities in the future.

In order to assess an institute's mission and objectives, it is essential to have a framework for systematic collection, storage and analysis of course assessments for the students within the programs offered by the institute. This paper demonstrates such a framework and provides results from a Data Management System application to a KSA university as a case study.
