“…Caridade et al (2018) utilize Project-Based Learning in Calculus courses for engineers in Coimbra and Salamanca, by applying mathematical softwares for estimating the area of the Iberian Peninsula, so that experiences are evaluated as enriched ones by the students. Cocota, D'Angelo and de Barros Monteiro (2015) apply the Project-Based Learning for the development of transversal skills in engineering multidisciplinary education. During 2 years, the Automation and Control as well as the Mechanical Engineering students of the Federal University of Ouro Preto developed a robot.…”

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has already taken around the world. Decision taking at industries is more and more dependent on new technologies and processes, which demand updating and adjustment of the engineering education. Through a systematized literature revision, this article aims to search, select and prioritize bibliographic sources which reflect relevant initiatives that may work as a reference for engineering bachelor´s degree courses. 50 most relevant articles were selected and analyzed from 4,333 articles published in the Scopus database. The results show the 10 main authors, the 9 main journals and the 10 main institutions among the 50 most relevant articles, as references in the analyzed sample. Regarding aspects for the improvement of engineers education, one can highlight PBL (Project-Based Learning), Competency-Based Education and focus on holistic education. This research may encourage reflection, awareness and improvement by the ones interested in the study of engineers' education, by integrating market demand, learners' expectations and academic excellence, in order to contribute to the growth of scientific and practical knowledge and of society technological development.

“…Since the seminal work of Eguchi (Amy Eguchi, 2010), researchers have continuously explored the ER field in view of its inherent closeness to the principles of computational (Amy Eguchi, 2016;M. Tramonti & Dochshanov, 2018) and algorithmic thinking (Evripidou, Amanatiadis, Christodoulou, & Chatzichristofis, 2021;Matyushchenko, Zvereva, & Lavina, 2020), problem-solving (Caballero-Gonzalez, Muñoz-Repiso, & García-Holgado, 2019Kamga, Romero, Komis, & Mirsili, 2017) and project-based learning methodologies (Cocota, D'Angelo, & de Barros Monteiro, 2015). In addition, following the latest trends in IoT, AI and machine learning, ER offers enough room to enter the fields as well (A.…”

The ubiquity and an established framework for using open-source electronics and 3D prototyping platforms have enhanced the ways educational robotics (ER) is introduced. Low entry-level, a wide range of peripheral modules and 3D designs alleviate approaching the subject. Nevertheless, the relative ease such systems aim to provide tends to obscure the underlying machinery and basic principles. In this regard, the present article describes designing and implementing a simple programmable Arduino-based bot with a particular accent on the underpinning principles' exposition.

To make students understand the working principle of circuits in the course of Experiment of Power Electronics more deeply, the author introduces a small-problem-based teaching method to help students master the relevant curriculum content and enhance their ability of independent problem-solving within 1 or 2 days for balancing the contradiction between course time and burden. Teachers present some small questions according to the basic principles of circuits, and students analyse the problems theoretically. Then students get the answers and verify the conclusions through simulations and laboratory experiments. Furthermore, for comparison of the source harmonic current and the maximum line current for three types of three-phase ac voltage-regulating circuits with different connection modes-the three-phase four-wire star connection mode, the three-phase three-wire star connection mode and the branch-controlled triangle connection mode-are used as an example to explain the proposed teaching method. Through theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental verification of students, three kinds of circuits are compared, and the conclusions are drawn. Based on the analysis of students' problem-solving process and results, it can be seen that most students can complete and get correct conclusions independently. The proposed method can improve the students' problem-solving ability.
