Abstract

The process of learning to use smartphones is now highly promoted. Almost everyone has a smartphone. The latest trend in learning is known as Mobile Learning (M-Learning). M-Learning can be used anywhere and anytime. Thus, we propose the use of the M-Learning application for computer system subjects in the basic logic gate topics so that students can be motivated to learn. We call this application BLG-LeMed. The focus of this research is on the process of using BLG-LeMed applications on classroom learning that is used directly by vocational high school students, then testing with alpha testing, User Acceptance Tests (UAT), usability evaluations, and knowing the effect of motivating students to use five dimensions of motivation and student learning outcomes. The development model used is Extreme Programming (XP). The design used in this study, by conducting trials in one class and observing students using the BLG-LeMed application as learning media, 38 students consisted of 26 men and 12 women involved in this study, with a duration of 135 minutes at one time of the meeting. We conclude that using the BLG-LeMed application based on M-Learning in the learning process of this basic logic gate, strongly supported by the testing team, can be accepted by users, has a usefulness as a interactive learning media, can have an effect in motivating students to learn, and provide results very satisfying learning.

Abstract

The rate of unemployment among youths in Nigeria has assumed a worrisome dimension. More importantly that those affected are specialized graduates from tertiary institutions.  The youth unemployment rate has been of persitent increase since 2014 from from 11.7% to 36.5% in 2018. It has been established that the vacancies exists, but the graduates lack the skills to match the jobs. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to identify the constructs and sub-constructs of employability skills that are needed to match Electrical Technology students with the labour market. The resaerch  design is a qualitative metthod involving document analysis and interview protocol of stakeholders in electrical technology. The stakehoders were the academics and the employers. The documents were analysed using frequency matrix table. While the interview of the stakeholders (experts) were done thematically. To ensure the reliability of the constructs and sub-constructs, an item pool was constructed to determine the agreement and content reliability index for the constructs. From the item pool, 5 constructs and 193 sub-constructs were generated. These were constructed into instrument for expert review. Three experts in electrical technology rated the instrument for determining the aggreement level, using the Fleiss kappa approach. The percent agreement for the raters are 89.63%, 86.01%, and 81.86% respectively with a mean agreement of 85.83%. The 85.83% indicate an almost perfect agreement by the experts for each of the constructs in the instrument. This is very good for producing a functional framework of employability skills.

Abstract

Software development is a hectic process that requires keen understanding and effective model such that the developed software inherits good quality, reliability, and achieves customer satisfaction towards achieving the goals effectively. The effective operation of the software is enabled by modifying the operating modules of the software through a model, like agile. In this paper, the catastrophic and distributed computing models are integrated into the software development step. The proposed model is termed as Distributed Cat model that is developed with the aim to handle the risk factors engaged in various developing stages of the agile model. The risk factors that affect the communication, planning, release, design, coding and testing modules of the agile modules are deeply learned and executed such that the risk factors are tackled by various modules present in the proposed Distributed Cat model. The effectiveness of the proposed model is analyzed based on the performance metrics, such as Index of Integration (IoI) and Usability Goals Achievement Metric (UGAM), for which five products including the hotel management system, Customer relationship Management system (CRM), Rainfall prediction system, Temperature monitoring system, and meta-search system, are employed and analyzed. The analysis is progressed using the parameters, like mean difference, variance, standard devaiation, correlation. The analysis proves that the proposed model offered a great deviation after applying the proposed model contributing a high degree of performance in software development.

Abstract

The article reveals the possibilities of using joke and cartoon as didactic tools that are adequate to the goals of "mass-education" of teaching creative technologies, where the theory of solving inventive problems (TRIZ) is a prominent representative today. These forms of humor have a range of unique properties and are therefore suitable for teaching different categories of students creative thinking procedures at all levels of training and self-education. An original method has been created, the essence of which is to gradually transform an joke and caricature in the classroom from passive (illustrative-relaxation) didactic tools into active ones, which increase the motivation and success of students ' activities by increasing their instrumental knowledge and skills to change systems of any nature (this is knowledge of the meta-level-knowledge-transformation and system knowledge). Algorithmic procedures for using these forms of humor have been tested in the University environment and the post-graduate education system (including teacher training), as well as in business education (in industrial companies, research centers and laboratories). The effectiveness and efficiency of using these non-standard didactic tools has been confirmed.

Abstract

In this paper we studied the effect of engineering expertise in providing directional judgments. We asked two groups of people, engineers and non-engineers, to observe and memorize five maps, each including a four-point path, for 30 sec. The path was then removed and the participants had to provide two directional judgments: aligned (the imagined perspective on the task was the same as the one just learned), and counter-aligned (the imagined perspective on the task was rotated by 180°). Our results showed that engineers are equally able to perform aligned and counter-aligned directional judgments. The alignment effect due to the distance from the learning perspective was, in fact, shown only by non-engineers. Results are discussed considering engineering both learning expertise and specific predisposition.

Abstract

Water is the main need for humans, so the quality and quantity must be maintained. The purpose of this research is to analyze the problems in Joho Village in the form of cloudy water so that the community feels disturbed. In this study, the water quality test was carried out using the Indonesian National Standard and with a random sampling technique. Samples were taken from 3 points in residents' houses and 2 points in public facilities, namely in parks and places of worship. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive quantitative. There is one sample that does not meet the quality standard for odor parameters, namely at the observation point in the park. However, for the turbidity parameter, all samples showed that none met the quality standards, namely 116, 48, 100, 136, 130 NTU. The solution that can be done by residents of Joho Village is to do pavement and closure in the area around the shallow well and perform simple filtration consisting of Zeolite (10 - 30 mm), Zeolite (5 - 10 mm), Silica sand (4 - 30 mesh), Activated Carbon, and Sponge.

Abstract

AbstractOutcome-Based education is a performance-based approach for the curriculum development, a future-oriented learner-centered ‘Empowerment Paradigm’ that empowers and endorses all learners with future success. It is an influential and tempting way of restructuring and reorganizing engineering education. Washington Accord, an International accreditation convention, an independent agreement between signatory organizations to provide an external accreditation to undergraduate engineering programs. The accredited engineering programs that qualify an engineer to enter into the practice of professional engineers are equally recognized and acknowledged by other signatory countries and responsible organizations Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is a full signatory to the Washington Accord and a regulatory organization for the accreditation of engineering programs in Pakistan. To keep up the permanent membership status, it is the requirement of PEC to implement Outcome-Based in engineering degree awarding institutes in Pakistan. The main aim of Outcome-Based education in engineering education is to empower engineering students with the essential characteristics required to switch themselves into the engineering profession as a global and professional engineer. The focus of current research is to explore the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of Outcome-Based education. Moreover, to unveil the current challenges in the implementation of OBE framework in engineering education.

Abstract

Mathematics is of fundamental importance to any natural sciences program (because it provides analytical and approximate results that can be simulated and modeled) and perhaps to other areas of human knowledge. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are especially of fundamental importance to engineering programs because the modeling of all phenomena of interest for these programs involves ODE solutions; at the same time, students experience difficulties when learning ODEs and about their applications to real physical scenarios. In this study, the problem-based learning method was used to study a group of mechanical engineering students at theSENAICIMATECUniversityCenter. The study analyzes the effectiveness of ODE instruction given through this program using the specified methodology. To consolidate the study, Conceptual Field Theory is used together with an evaluation of the results to observe student behaviors and attitudes in relation to actions arising from the method. At the end of the study, a questionnaire was completed by the students, with which they evaluated the effectiveness of the teaching methodology employed.
