Educational Practice and Educational Research in Engineering: Partners, Antagonists, or Ships Passing in the Night?

The Making of A Whole New Engineer: Four Unexpected Lessons for Engineering Educators and Education Researchers

“…These questions are in line with those of an earlier editorial (Felder & Hadegraft, ). We do not know the answers to these questions; however, one of the reasons we wrote a “popular” book and not a research paper or tome was because we wanted to try something that might have what we perceived as a better practical chance of actually changing the conversation about engineering education practice and the practice itself.…”

Cooperative or collaborative learning: Is there a difference in university students’ perceptions?

“…27 Núm. 3 (2016) 1041-1060 may not prepare learners for the innovative role of engineers (Prince, 2004;Felder and Brent, 2005;Michel, Cater and Varela, 2009;Smith, 2011;Felder and Hadgraft, 2013).…”

Using Design Hierarchy in a Linear Circuits Class to Illustrate the Scientific Method as a Human Invention

“…1 Within the field of engineering education, there are those who look to scientific research on the topic of engineering education as key to achieving meaningful improvements to engineering education. 2 Within the general public there are those who might say they "believe in global warming" or "evolution," or some other topic of current interest having a rather obvious basis in science. Why is there such general agreement that science should be foundational in so many aspects of life, including engineering education?…”
