Contribution: This study introduces a two-year, 180-h project-based learning (PBL) program in Internet of Things (IoT) education, developed through collaboration among industry, academia, and government. The program provides a scalable model for integrating real-world challenges into engineering curricula to enhance technical and professional competencies.Background: The growing demand for IoT professionals, especially in aging societies like Japan, highlights the need for long-term, interdisciplinary education. Traditional approaches often lack sufficient depth to prepare students for complex, real-world applications.Research Questions: How can a long-term, tri-sector PBL curriculum foster IoT engineers capable of addressing societal challenges? What educational outcomes result from sustained, authentic project engagement?Methodology: Students engaged in three consecutive PBL subjects addressing themes such as system development, social application, and business design. Teams created IoT solutions based on real issues proposed by local governments and industry partners. Faculty and peers evaluated each project on creativity, implementation, and technical quality.Findings: Teacher assessments improved steadily, while peer evaluations became more critical over time, reflecting students’ growth in skills and self-awareness. The results suggest that long-term, authentic PBL supported by cross-sector collaboration effectively enhances both technical ability and professional mindset.

Contribution: Results and conclusions on the use of a hybrid Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach to teaching programming in a higher education computing department. Background: PBL is a pedagogical approach that facilitates “learning by doing” and can create compelling educational experiences that enhance a student’s intrinsic motivation. Engagement can increase because students design their own unique projects, which have personal meaning and importance. PBL facilitates working with industrial clients to solve problems, which can create powerful extrinsic motivation. However, PBL can fail when students lack the experience and confidence to work as independent learners. Research Questions: 1) Can a hybrid PBL approach mitigate these problems by using a range of additional initiatives? These include, a wide range of on-demand learning resources, student mentoring, students collaborating with teachers to grade their own work, regular feedback milestones and scaffolding of learning via streaming. In this case streaming means offering students pathways through projects that require more or less independent research and project management. Methodology: A mixed methods study of a new hybrid approach to teaching programming. Findings: This article summarizes the author’s experience of implementing hybrid PBL within a university computing department, associated with improved student attainment and describes best practice, the advantages and the pitfalls.
贡献:使用基于项目的混合学习(PBL)方法在高等教育计算机系进行编程教学的结果和结论。背景:PBL是一种促进“边做边学”的教学方法,可以创造引人注目的教育体验,增强学生的内在动机。因为学生设计自己独特的项目,这些项目具有个人的意义和重要性,所以参与度可以提高。PBL有助于与工业客户一起解决问题,这可以产生强大的外在动机。然而,当学生缺乏作为独立学习者的经验和信心时,PBL可能会失败。研究问题:1)混合PBL方法能否通过使用一系列额外的举措来缓解这些问题?这些措施包括:广泛的按需学习资源、学生指导、学生与教师合作为自己的作业打分、定期反馈里程碑和通过流媒体学习的框架。在这种情况下,流媒体意味着为学生提供通过项目或多或少需要独立研究和项目管理的途径。方法论:一种新的编程教学混合方法的混合方法研究。发现:本文总结了作者在大学计算系实施混合PBL的经验,并描述了最佳实践、优势和缺陷。

Enculturation into engineering refers to the process by which novices learn and internalize the content, practices, and values of the engineering profession. This study employs an enculturation model incorporating both intrinsic and extrinsic influences. Extrinsic influences stem from institutional frameworks, particularly first-year curricular standards set by ABET. The study aimed to operationalize and test this model through a survey conducted during the Spring 2022 with 626 students at two U.S. minority-serving institutions. The research addressed four questions: 1) How do enculturation dimensions vary across student classifications at each institution? 2) What is the relationship between enculturation and the impact of COVID-19? 3) How do these dimensions vary based on First-Generation Status and Race/Ethnicity at a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI)? 4) How does Exploratory Factor Analysis characterize enculturation, and how does it relate to self-efficacy? Findings indicate that students generally increase in enculturation dimensions as they advance in their programs, though differences exist across demographics and institutions. COVID-19 significantly impacted two dimensions, with effects varying by institution. First-Generation and minority students followed similar trends, often demonstrating disadvantage compared to majority peers. Finally, factor analyzes confirmed that enculturation and self-efficacy are distinct constructs. These promising results provide proof that the model of enculturation can potentially help attract and retain students in multiple engineering fields. The results also have wide implications for research and practice, specifically when pertaining to disadvantaged minority students.
工程的文化适应是指新手学习和内化工程专业的内容、实践和价值观的过程。本研究采用融合了内在和外在影响的文化适应模型。外部影响来自制度框架,特别是ABET制定的第一年课程标准。该研究旨在通过2022年春季对两所美国少数族裔服务机构的626名学生进行的调查来实施和测试这一模型。该研究解决了四个问题:1)不同院校学生的文化适应程度有何不同?2)适应与新冠疫情的影响有何关系?3)在西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)中,这些维度如何根据第一代身份和种族/民族而变化?4)探索性因素分析如何表征文化适应,它与自我效能感有何关系?研究结果表明,随着学生在课程中的进步,他们的文化适应程度普遍会提高,尽管在人口统计学和机构之间存在差异。COVID-19对两个维度产生了重大影响,其影响因机构而异。第一代和少数族裔学生也有类似的趋势,与大多数同龄人相比,他们往往表现出劣势。最后,因子分析证实了文化适应和自我效能是不同的构式。这些有希望的结果证明,文化适应模式可能有助于在多个工程领域吸引和留住学生。研究结果对研究和实践也有广泛的影响,特别是在涉及弱势少数民族学生时。

Contribution: This research designs a student evaluation framework integrating the fuzzy-logic system that assesses the student’s performances in the soft boundary system for outcome-based education (OBE), measuring the course learning outcome (CLO) and program learning outcome (PLO). The framework fills the gap between conventional grading methods and offers insights into learning for course assessment and continuous development. Background: A well-established evaluation technique is a requirement to deliver a productive, skilled, worthy, and compatible student and faculty. Moreover, OBE, with a documented and structured academic curriculum, has to ensure the accreditation of an academic program. Research Questions: What are the drawbacks of traditional student evaluation techniques? Does the proposed system work as a better, more reliable, and meaningful student evaluation method? Methodology: To assess, it considers the final examination paper containing several questions and continuous assessment comprising a few items like class tests, quizzes, viva voce, homework, etc., where the course teachers and moderators assign marks on these questions and items considering the CLOs, learning methods, and Bloom’s taxonomy. Then, the framework records and tracks the ratio of earned marks to assigned marks for the fuzzification, while the defuzzification computes the values indicating the CLOs and PLOs earned by a student. Findings: The results study cases for 40 courses of a particular student and analyze statistics for 100 students from the consecutive eight semesters. This fuzzy-logic-based evaluation technique is fairer, reliable, and unbiased to the learners and greatly helps to get accreditation and recognition for the degree worldwide.
贡献:本研究设计了一个整合模糊逻辑系统的学生评价框架,以评估结果为基础的软边界教育系统(OBE)中学生的表现,衡量课程学习成果(CLO)和项目学习成果(PLO)。该框架填补了传统评分方法之间的空白,并为课程评估和持续发展提供了对学习的见解。背景:一个完善的评估技术是提供一个富有成效的,熟练的,有价值的,兼容的学生和教师的要求。此外,OBE,与文件和结构化的学术课程,必须确保学术课程的认证。研究问题:传统的学生评价技术有哪些缺点?所提出的系统是否作为一种更好、更可靠、更有意义的学生评价方法?方法:为了评估,它考虑包含几个问题的期末考试试卷和持续的评估,包括一些项目,如课堂测试,测验,语音,家庭作业等,其中课程教师和主持人根据CLOs,学习方法和布鲁姆的分类法对这些问题和项目分配分数。然后,框架记录并跟踪获得分数与分配分数的比例,用于模糊化,而去模糊化计算指示学生获得的CLOs和PLOs的值。研究结果:对某学生的40门课程进行案例分析,并对连续8个学期的100名学生进行统计分析。这种基于模糊逻辑的评价方法对学习者来说更加公平、可靠、无偏见,极大地帮助了学位在世界范围内获得认可和认可。

Contribution: This study advances the understanding of learner satisfaction in online education, particularly within higher education (HE) engineering programs. It develops a conceptual model categorizing key factors affecting satisfaction and provides empirical evidence on their impact, offering actionable recommendations for educators and institutions. Background: Online education has transformed traditional learning environments, increasing access and flexibility. However, HE programs, especially engineering, face significant challenges when transitioning from face-to-face formats to hybrid or fully online. Understanding the factors influencing student satisfaction in this context is crucial to enhance learning experiences. Research Questions: 1) What are the key barriers affecting learners’ satisfaction with online learning in higher engineering courses in Ireland? and 2) What is the degree of influence of these barriers on learner satisfaction? Methodology: Data were collected from 608 students enrolled in HE engineering courses in Ireland. The study used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the interaction between six key factors categorized into personal and technical domains. Findings: Learner motivation, online learning tools optimization, and addressing psychological well-being emerged as critical elements to improve student satisfaction. Contrary to expectations, increased use of asynchronous communication channels and greater Internet connectivity did not significantly contribute to higher satisfaction levels. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the online learning experience in HE engineering education.
贡献:本研究促进了对在线教育中学习者满意度的理解,特别是在高等教育(HE)工程课程中。它开发了一个概念模型,对影响满意度的关键因素进行分类,并提供了有关其影响的经验证据,为教育工作者和机构提供了可行的建议。背景:在线教育已经改变了传统的学习环境,增加了访问和灵活性。然而,高等教育课程,尤其是工程学课程,在从面对面授课模式向混合授课或完全在线授课模式转变的过程中,面临着巨大的挑战。在这种情况下,了解影响学生满意度的因素对提高学习体验至关重要。研究问题:1)影响爱尔兰高等工程课程在线学习学习者满意度的主要障碍是什么?2)这些障碍对学习者满意度的影响程度如何?方法:数据收集自608名就读于爱尔兰高等教育工程课程的学生。本研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)分析了个人领域和技术领域六个关键因素之间的相互作用。研究发现:学习者动机、在线学习工具优化和解决心理健康问题成为提高学生满意度的关键因素。与预期相反,增加异步通信渠道的使用和更大的互联网连接并没有显著提高满意度。这些发现为改善高等教育工程教育的在线学习体验提供了有价值的见解。

Contribution: This article proposes the systematic integration of embedded systems into training hardware to bridge the gap in structured troubleshooting education. Traditional methods often rely on manual explanations, virtual simulations, or on-the-job training, which lack structured learning experiences. The proof-of-work module, developed based on the proposed framework, effectively simulates challenging scenarios, providing real-life troubleshooting experiences that significantly increase motivation for further learning. Background: Troubleshooting competence is typically acquired through experiential engagement and unforeseen challenges, rarely structured as a deliberate educational endeavor. Simulating real problematic conditions also poses challenges due to their complexity or potential dangers. Intended Outcome: A framework that facilitates the representation of real-life troubleshooting situations using hardware prototypes with multiple scenarios. A proven implementation, a ship’s electrical earth fault troubleshooting training hardware, exemplifies the utilization of embedded systems using the proposed framework. Application Design: Experiential Learning is commonly used to develop troubleshooting proficiency. Providing deliberate multiple scenarios through training hardware will give much more experience than unforeseen challenges in job training. Findings: The findings demonstrated statistically significant benefits of the new hardware with the embedded system in increasing user interest for further learning and product presentation, with a 95% confidence interval and significant differences adjusted p-values = 0.049. It provides evidence of embedded systems’ effectiveness and suggests their potential applications in engineering education, particularly in the electrical engineering field.
贡献:本文提出将嵌入式系统系统集成到训练硬件中,以弥合结构化故障排除教育中的差距。传统的方法通常依赖于人工解释、虚拟模拟或在职培训,缺乏结构化的学习经验。基于该框架开发的工作量证明模块有效地模拟了具有挑战性的场景,提供了现实生活中的故障排除经验,大大增加了进一步学习的动力。背景:故障排除能力通常是通过经验参与和不可预见的挑战获得的,很少是通过刻意的教育努力获得的。由于其复杂性或潜在的危险,模拟真实的问题条件也带来了挑战。预期结果:一个框架,它使用具有多个场景的硬件原型来促进实际故障排除情况的表示。一艘船舶的电气接地故障故障排除训练硬件的实例验证了使用所提出框架的嵌入式系统的应用。应用程序设计:体验式学习通常用于培养故障排除能力。通过培训硬件提供深思熟虑的多种场景,将比工作培训中不可预见的挑战提供更多的经验。研究结果:研究结果显示,新硬件与嵌入式系统在增加用户对进一步学习和产品展示的兴趣方面具有统计学意义上的显著优势,95%置信区间和显著差异调整后的p值= 0.049。它提供了嵌入式系统有效性的证据,并提出了它们在工程教育,特别是电气工程领域的潜在应用。
