Improving the Conceptual Mastery of Engineering Students in High Enrollment Engineering Courses through Oral Exams

DSC_0465.JPG

Our project aims to advance the knowledge and understanding of the impact of oral exams on engineering students' learning.

 

The adaptive dialogic nature of oral exams has the potential to provide instructors with more insights into students’ understanding, Thus holding promise for improving both assessment of conceptual mastery and for providing incentives for students to adapt their learning strategies.

Empowering engineering students to become more effective and self-regulated learners: A course-integrated intervention to promote the transfer of learning skills

Notes on glass pane

This metacognition research focuses on bridging the gap in adopting course-integrated strategies for nurturing students' journey toward becoming successful and self-regulated learners.

 

This involves the integration of interventions within courses to facilitate the development, strengthening, and transfer of cognitive, metacognitive, and affective regulation skills in engineering education.

The hands-on learning project aims to improve students' intuitive understanding about fundamental engineering concepts.

​

To achieve this, various physical models and demonstrations have been constructed to illustrate important concepts and applications of statics, solid mechanics, and machine design.
