Contribution: This study synthesizes insights into the thematic focuses and linguistic attributes that resonate most in engineering faculty collaborations aimed at fostering entrepreneurial mindsets (EMs). It provides a roadmap for educators and institutions to effectively communicate and encourage entrepreneurial thinking in engineering. Background: Amid the heightened emphasis on entrepreneurial thinking in engineering education, understanding the factors that resonate with faculty is pivotal for informing curriculum development, aligning with global trends, and optimizing the preparedness of engineering graduates. Research Questions: 1) What elements of the EM are most frequently emphasized by faculty in their shared educational content? 2) What aspects of the EM resonate most with academic faculty? and 3) How do these relations differ in the electrical or computer engineering disciplines compared to other engineering fields? Methodology: A comprehensive analysis of educational resources shared by faculty on EM was conducted. The study used text analytics to assess engagement metrics, such as views, shares, favorites, and downloads. The data were analyzed using Stata. Findings: Faculty engagement strongly resonates with the three core components of the EM: Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value, often emphasized in their shared educational content. Specifically, the “Creating Value” component emerged as the most significant across most engagement measures, with nuanced variations in the electrical and computer engineering disciplines.

Contribution: This article provides an examination of changes in first-year engineering students’ perceptions of the role of an engineer after completing the Engineers Without Borders Challenge. Background: Essential pre- and post-comparisons missing in existing studies on the Challenge are provided, as well as comparison to other first-year project types across two universities. Research Question: Do students who participate in service-learning versus traditional project-based learning gain different understandings of the role of an engineer? Methodology: This work implements the questionnaire variant of convergent mixed methods design. A survey containing a mix of Likert-scale, open-ended short answer, and closed card sorting questions was administered to students enrolled in first-year engineering (FYE) courses across two institutions. Limitations of this work include potential bias due to the pre/post survey design and participant course self-selection. Findings: Students’ perceptions of the roles of engineers did not significantly differ by project type. However, changes in their perceptions of technical skills as important to the role of engineers did indicate the beginning of a transition from discipline level thinking to process level thinking. Additionally, course learning objectives influenced students’ perceptions of the role of engineers—with an increase in awareness of the importance of problem solving, communication, design process, and teamwork and a decreasing sense of importance of items missing from course objectives, such as creativity and helping people. Engineers’ professional responsibility to diversity, equity, and inclusion were absent from both the course syllabi and student perceptions of the role of an engineer.
贡献:本文探讨了工程专业一年级学生在完成 "工程师无国界挑战赛 "后对工程师角色认知的变化。背景:本文提供了关于挑战赛的现有研究中所缺少的基本前后对比,以及与两所大学其他一年级项目类型的对比。研究问题:参加服务学习和传统项目学习的学生对工程师角色的理解是否不同?研究方法:这项工作采用了趋同混合方法设计的问卷变体。我们对两所院校的一年级工程学(FYE)课程学生进行了问卷调查,调查内容包括李克特量表、开放式简答题和封闭式卡片分类题。这项工作的局限性包括前/后调查设计和参与者课程自选可能造成的偏差。调查结果:学生对工程师角色的认知并没有因项目类型的不同而产生显著差异。然而,他们对技术技能对工程师角色的重要性的看法发生了变化,这表明他们开始从学科层面的思维向过程层面的思维过渡。此外,课程学习目标也影响了学生对工程师角色的认识--对解决问题、沟通、设计过程和团队合作重要性的认识有所提高,而对课程目标中缺失的项目(如创造力和助人为乐)重要性的认识有所下降。在课程大纲和学生对工程师角色的认识中,都没有提到工程师对多样性、公平和包容的职业责任。

Understanding mathematics is essential for learning many concepts in engineering. Conceptual learning of engineering requires students to successfully connect abstract and concrete concepts to achieve a cohesive understanding of the content, and doing so goes beyond memorizing facts and applying formulas. Educators can observe that conceptual learning “has happened” once a student is able to successfully explain the concept, use the concept, and create new knowledge from the learned concept [1]. Moreover, a student’s ability to understand, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the mathematical equations and computations that describe various engineering processes and phenomena is necessary for the conceptual learning of many courses in engineering.
理解数学对于学习工程学的许多概念至关重要。工程学的概念学习要求学生成功地将抽象概念和具体概念联系起来,以达到对所学内容的连贯理解。一旦学生能够成功地解释概念、使用概念,并从所学概念中创造出新的知识,教育者就可以观察到概念学习 "已经发生"[1]。此外,学生在定性和定量方面理解描述各种工程过程和现象的数学方程和计算的能力,对于工程学中许多课程的概念学习都是必要的。

Contributions: An adoption framework to include generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the university curriculum. It identifies and highlights the role of different stakeholders (university management, students, staff, etc.) during the adoption process. It also proposes an objective approach based upon an evaluation matrix to assess the success and outcome of the GenAI adoption. Background: Universities worldwide are debating and struggling with the adoption of GenAI in their curriculum. GenAI has impacted our perspective on traditional methods of academic integrity and the scholarship of teaching, learning, and research. Both the faculty and students are unsure about the approach in the absence of clear guidelines through the administration and regulators. This requires an established framework to define a process and articulate the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder involved. Research Questions: Whether the academic ecosystem requires a methodology to adopt GenAI into its curriculum? A systematic approach for the academic staff to ensure the students’ learning outcomes are met with the adoption of GenAI. How to measure and communicate the adoption of GenAI in the university setup? Methodology: The methodology employed in this study focuses on examining the university education system and assessing the opportunities and challenges related to incorporating GenAI in teaching and learning. Additionally, it identifies a gap and the absence of a comprehensive framework that obstructs the effective integration of GenAI within the academic environment. Findings: The literature survey results indicate the limited or no adoption of GenAI by the university, which further reflects the dilemma in the minds of different stakeholders. For the successful adoption of GenAI, a standard framework is proposed 1) for effective redesign of the course curriculum; 2) for enabling staff and students; and 3) to define an evaluation matrix to measure the effectiveness and success of the adoption process.
贡献:将生成式人工智能(GenAI)纳入大学课程的采用框架。它确定并强调了不同利益相关者(大学管理层、学生、教职员工等)在采用过程中的作用。它还提出了一种基于评估矩阵的客观方法,用于评估 GenAI 应用的成功和成果。背景:全世界的大学都在为在课程中采用 GenAI 而争论不休。GenAI 影响了我们对传统学术诚信方法以及教学、学习和研究学术的看法。由于缺乏行政部门和监管机构的明确指导,教师和学生对这种方法都不确定。这就需要有一个既定的框架来确定一个过程,并阐明每个利益相关者的角色和责任。研究问题:学术生态系统是否需要将 GenAI 纳入课程的方法?为学术人员提供一种系统方法,以确保采用 GenAI 后学生的学习成果得到满足。如何衡量和宣传大学采用 GenAI 的情况?研究方法:本研究采用的方法侧重于考察大学教育系统,并评估与将 GenAI 纳入教学相关的机遇和挑战。此外,本研究还确定了阻碍将 GenAI 有效融入学术环境的差距和综合框架的缺失。调查结果:文献调查结果表明,大学对 GenAI 的采用有限或根本没有采用,这进一步反映了不同利益相关者心中的困境。为了成功采用 GenAI,提出了一个标准框架:1)有效地重新设计课程设置;2)为教职员工和学生赋能;3)定义一个评估矩阵,以衡量采用过程的有效性和成功率。

Contributions: In this article, a generative artificial intelligence (AI)-based Q&A system has been developed by integrating information retrieval and natural language processing techniques, using course materials as a knowledge base and facilitating real-time student interaction through a chat interface. Background: The rise of advanced AI exemplified by ChatGPT developed by OpenAI, has sparked interest in its application within higher education. AI has the potential to reshape education delivery through chatbots and related tools, improving remote learning and mitigating challenges, such as student isolation and educator administrative burdens. Yet, ChatGPT’s practical applications in education remain uncertain, potentially due to its novel and enigmatic nature. Additionally, current e-learning chatbot systems often suffer from development complexity and a lack of input from key stakeholders, leading to developer-focused solutions rather than user-centered ones. Intended Outcomes: In this manuscript, we introduce a practical implementation of AI in education by creating a system called Q-Module-Bot that is accessible for both technical and nontechnical educators to harness e-learning benefits and demystify generative pretraining transformer (GPT). Application Design: The proposed Q-Module-Bot system has utilized pretrained large language models (LLMs) to build a Q&A system that helps students with their queries and supports education delivery using content extracted from a virtual learning environment (VLE). Findings: The prototype and system evaluation confirm the effectiveness of a scalable cross-departmental tool featuring source attribution and real-time responses. While successful in encouraging wider acceptance of GPT use cases in higher education, refinements are needed for full integration into the VLE and expansion to other modules/courses.
贡献:本文通过整合信息检索和自然语言处理技术,开发了基于生成式人工智能(AI)的问答系统,将课程材料作为知识库,并通过聊天界面促进学生的实时互动。开发背景以 OpenAI 开发的 ChatGPT 为代表的高级人工智能的兴起,引发了人们对其在高等教育中应用的兴趣。人工智能有可能通过聊天机器人和相关工具重塑教育交付,改善远程学习,减轻学生隔离和教育工作者管理负担等挑战。然而,ChatGPT 在教育领域的实际应用仍不确定,这可能是由于它的新颖性和神秘性。此外,当前的电子学习聊天机器人系统往往存在开发复杂和缺乏关键利益相关者投入的问题,导致解决方案以开发人员为中心,而不是以用户为中心。预期成果:在本手稿中,我们通过创建一个名为 Q-Module-Bot 的系统,介绍了人工智能在教育领域的实际应用,该系统可供技术和非技术教育工作者使用,以利用电子学习的优势,并揭开生成式预训练转换器(GPT)的神秘面纱。应用设计:拟议的 Q-Module-Bot 系统利用预训练的大型语言模型(LLM)来构建一个问答系统,帮助学生解答疑问,并利用从虚拟学习环境(VLE)中提取的内容支持教育交付。研究结果:原型和系统评估证实了这一可扩展的跨部门工具的有效性,其特点是来源归属和实时响应。虽然成功地鼓励了更广泛地接受高等教育中的 GPT 用例,但还需要进行改进,以便完全集成到 VLE 中,并扩展到其他模块/课程。

Contribution: A peer-mentoring plan designed to support engineering students during their transition from high school to university. This article addresses the adaptation challenges faced by first-year students in engineering programs. Background: The transition to university is a critical period for students, marked by significant lifestyle changes and the inherent difficulties of engineering degrees. This often results in high stress levels, with some students struggling to adapt and consequently dropping out. Previous efforts to support students have shown varying degrees of success, highlighting the need for effective peer support mechanisms. Intended Outcomes: A structured peer-mentoring environment aimed at reducing stress, improving first-year students’ adaptation to university life, and decreasing dropout rates. The program is designed to be well received by both mentors and mentees, thereby enhancing the academic experience for engineering students. Application Design: Drawing on existing teaching experiences and literature, the proposed peer-mentoring program involves senior students acting as mentors to first-year students. The program begins with a training session to equip mentors with necessary tools and to define their roles and boundaries. This is followed by an initial meeting during the welcome day, and continues with formal and informal interactions throughout the first semester, under the supervision of the degree coordinator. Findings: Surveys completed by both mentors and first-year students indicate a high level of acceptance and perceived usefulness of the peer-mentoring program. The results suggest that the program effectively supports first-year students in their transition to university life, with strong recommendations for its continuation in future academic years.
贡献:旨在支持工科学生从高中过渡到大学的同伴指导计划。本文探讨了工程专业一年级学生所面临的适应挑战。背景:对学生来说,升入大学是一个关键时期,生活方式会发生重大变化,而攻读工科学位本身也会遇到困难。这往往会导致学生压力过大,有些学生难以适应,最终辍学。以往为学生提供支持的努力取得了不同程度的成功,这凸显了建立有效同伴支持机制的必要性。预期成果:一个结构化的朋辈辅导环境,旨在减轻压力,提高一年级新生对大学生活的适应能力,降低辍学率。该计划旨在受到指导者和被指导者的欢迎,从而提升工科学生的学术体验。应用设计:借鉴现有的教学经验和文献,拟议的朋辈指导计划由高年级学生担任一年级学生的导师。该计划以培训课程开始,为导师提供必要的工具,并确定他们的角色和界限。随后,在学位协调员的监督下,在迎新日期间举行首次会议,并在整个第一学期进行正式和非正式的互动。调查结果由导师和一年级学生共同完成的调查显示,他们对同伴指导计划的接受度很高,并认为该计划非常有用。结果表明,该计划有效地支持了一年级新生向大学生活的过渡,并强烈建议在未来学年继续开展该计划。

This article addresses the adaptation challenges faced by first-year students in engineering programs. Background: The transition to university is a critical period for students, marked by significant lifestyle changes and the inherent difficulties of engineering degrees. This often results in high stress levels, with some students struggling to adapt and consequently dropping out. Previous efforts to support students have shown varying degrees of success, highlighting the need for effective peer support mechanisms. Intended Outcomes: A structured peer-mentoring environment aimed at reducing stress, improving first-year students’ adaptation to university life, and decreasing dropout rates. The program is designed to be well received by both mentors and mentees, thereby enhancing the academic experience for engineering students. Application Design: Drawing on existing teaching experiences and literature, the proposed peer-mentoring program involves senior students acting as mentors to first-year students. The program begins with a training session to equip mentors with necessary tools and to define their roles and boundaries. This is followed by an initial meeting during the welcome day, and continues with formal and informal interactions throughout the first semester, under the supervision of the degree coordinator. Findings: Surveys completed by both mentors and first-year students indicate a high level of acceptance and perceived usefulness of the peer-mentoring program. The results suggest that the program effectively supports first-year students in their transition to university life, with strong recommendations for its continuation in future academic years.","PeriodicalId":55011,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10620217","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141884396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
