Abstract

The vertiginous technological advancement has made necessary the use of computersoftware that contributes to the improvement of teaching in math sciences and engineering.It is in this context that the last five years the strategy presented in this article has been disseminatedin the main universities of Bolivia, a country where the schools have not yet been ableto offer basic disciplines such as calculus, matrix algebra, physics and/or differential equationsto solve problems considering applicative aspects. To establish this connection, it is necessaryto deduce differential equations associated with practical problems, solve these equationswith different numerical algorithms, and establish the concept of simulation to later introducelanguages like Python/VPython free of license to elaborate Virtual Laboratories that allow obtainingthe solutions in two and three dimensions. The classical problems addressed for thispurpose are the satellite of two degrees of freedom and the inverted pendulum.

Abstract

Answers to the questions of which instructional methods are suitable for school, what instructional methods should be applied in teaching individual subjects and how instructional methods support the act of learning represent challenges to general education and education in individual subjects. This study focuses on the empirical examination of learning outcome in engineering educationwith respect to two instructional methods: direct instruction and computer simulation. A CRF 2x2 design is used to control instructional method and class context. Learning outcome on bridge construction is assessed with reference to the optics of bridge and the material usage for the bridge. The empirical findings show that learning with direct instruction was superior to computer simulation.

Abstract

Outdoor HV porcelain insulators face various environmental stresses that cause their degradation. Consequently, amelioration of their insulating properties becomes a target of recent researches to survive higher voltage levels. Investigating the impact of the addition of 0, 5, 10, and 15 wt. % nano- alumina (NA) on the dielectric and physical characteristics of porcelain materials at elevated sintering temperatures is the aim of this study. Porcelain specimens were synthesized from kaolin, feldspar, and quartz as available low-cost raw materials. The specimens were sintered at 1100, 1200, 1300, and 1400°C for 2 h. For some specimens, the microstructure and phases formed were identified using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The changes that occur upon heating (include melting, phase transition, sublimation, and decomposition) were identified by Differential Thermogravimetric Analysis. The dielectric strength, relative permittivity, and loss tangent of different samples were measured at a large scale of frequencies. Breakdown strength values of different samples were verified by applying the Finite Element Method. The best electrical and physical properties were achieved at 1300ºC. At this temperature the porcelain sample containing 5 wt. % NA presented optimum physical characteristics as well as good insulating properties assent the feasibility of producing electro-technical porcelain

Abstract

Previous research has provided a review of the literature on the state of research on mobile learning, but the use of m-learning and MALL to formal and informal learning of foreign languages needs further study. The need to review the language learning assisted by mobile devices emerges from a globalized context, in which pedagogy must question itself to plan and design research drawings in which mobile learning assumes a fundamental importance in teaching practice aimed above all at new generations of students.This study adopts a meta-analysis approach to systematically review the literature, thus providing a more complete analysis and synthesis of 83 studies from 2009 to 2018. Previous studies focus on the effectiveness and design of the mobile learning system.The search for databases and citations was performed by limiting the keywords referring to m-learning and to MALL. Compared to existing reviews, the results confirm revealing a skill-based approach to language learning with an emphasis on vocabulary, learning factors that influence students' perceptions and availability to use new cellular technologies.

Abstract

The intent of this article is to analyze the Diraction phenomena of the incoming waveand provide a new Approach for analyzing the frequency selective surface (Fss) by usinga hybrid method combining Moment Method (MoM), optical physics (PO) with Generaltheory of Diraction (GTD). the frequency selective surface (Fss) is a periodic surfacewith identical two-dimensional arrays of elements arranged on a substrate dielectric. Anincoming plane wave will either be transmitted (bandwidth) or re ected (stopband),completely or partially, depending on the nature of the array element. This happenswhen the frequency of the electromagnetic (EM) wave correspond with the resonantfrequency of the FSS elements. Hence, in free space, and for a certain frequency range,an FSS is capable of transmitting or blocking EM waves; therefore, identied as spa-tial lters. Today, FSSs have been extensively studied and there is tremendous growthin its design and implementation for dierent applications at the microwave to opticalfrequency ranges. In this review article, we present a new hybrid method form on Mo-ment method and GTD for analyzing dierent categories of FSS based on the design ofthe structure, the array elements used, and applications. We also focus on the eectsof diraction, methodology, experimental verications of design examples, as well ason prospects and challenges, particularly in the microwave regime. We highlight theirimportant performance metrics, especially with regard to progress in this area couldfacilitate advanced electromagnetic innovation.

Abstract

Different engineering degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC).  This commission is considered one among the four commissions of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).  All programs seeking accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET must demonstrate that they satisfy all of the eight General Criteria for Baccalaureate Level Programs.  Therefore, to execute these different ABET criteria and guidelines, any engineering program must establish different committees.  In this paper, we nominate different committees and clearly mention their tasks in details. Moreover, the time schedules for the different activities of these committees during both fall and spring semesters are proposed.  Another contribution of this article is to present a robust scheme for continuous improvement process.   The roles of the contribution of some program committees in this scheme are described clearly.  Therefore, the authors thought that the proposed scheme can serve as a strong reference in continuous improvement process for all engineering programs.

Abstract

Engineering and for that matter engineering training is pivotal in solving problems that confront societies. This paper introduces academia to a course named Engineering in Society run at the College of Engineering of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. The paper also reports on an assessment of the course content, mode of delivery and impacts, and recommends improvements to enhance its learning outcomes. The impact assessment was done through the administration of questionnaires to four hundred and thirty-seven current and immediate past students of the College’s Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The respondents were students in the second, third and fourth years of the BSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme as well as its immediate past alumni. The results of the impact assessment show that over 85% of the respondents from the various categories consider the course to be essential for their career development. Between 56.76% and 79.38% of respondents from the various groups are satisfied with the mode of delivery of the course. Not less than 69% of the responds agree to the attainment of at least one of the learning outcomes of the course. The respondents consider the community project component of the course as the most impactful. The study has revealed an increasing trend of students contracting others to do their community projects for them as well as an increasing trend in plagiarism of submitted reports. Among others, the study recommends some revision of the course content and mode of delivery to maximize the impact of the course. Additionally, the university should do away with the submission of reports in printed copy and rather migrate to online submission of reports, with plagiarism checks. The course, with the suggestions made, is recommended for adoption by engineering training institutions.

Abstract

Structural analysis modules delivered to first year in Architecture Engineering students is a real challenge for both teacher and students. Usually the assignments adopted in such modules are on campus  exams.  Such strategy may assess the capacity of the students to employ different sets of equations to solve a problem. However, this is not enough for a vivid education atmosphere. Transforming the assessments to digital simulations is the best solution for the education process. Digitalization is more appealing to nowadays students and it gives the teacher a wide spectrum of discussions without the hindrance of calculations time. The obstacle is that students at the first semester in engineering schools are not capable of dealing with solution packages. This paper presents a digital simulation of different structures using a simple tool based on closed-form equations. The tool is employed to generate different assessments that enable students to grasp the interaction between geometry, loading, boundary conditions, and internal forces and visualize the mutual effect. This cannot be achieved using classical assessments as it requires much calculation time. Furthermore, transforming this tool into an offline mobile app helps to gamify this tough module. This tool enables the students to work remotely in groups taking into account the Covid -19 pandemic social distancing. The students can submit a report where they demonstrate their understanding and conclusions.

Abstract

The problem of unemployment among youths has remained unabated. This has cast doubt on the methods of instructions by lecturers. This study takes a critical review of some of the previous studies with an emphasis on employment statistics and employability skills. The paper x-ray the basic elements of employability skills and the latest statistics of youth unemployment in Africa particularly, Nigeria. The aim is to sensitize education managers of higher institutions in Nigeria about the danger inherent in turning out graduates massively without the corresponding skills to match them adequately with the world of work. Findings show that there is a persistent rise in the rate of youth unemployment because what the schools offered is not compliant with the labour market demand. The resulting skills played a significant role in increasing unemployment among Tertiary Education graduates. Therefore, the higher education curriculum needs to be modified to reflect the skills required of employers.

Abstract

In this study, we examine one commonly cited mechanism, the top dog/bottom dog phenomenon, which states that students at the top of a grade span (“top dogs”) have better experiences than those at the bottom (“bottom dogs”) for gifted students. Using an instrumental variables strategy introduced in Rockoff and Lockwood (2010) and a longitudinal data set containing student survey data for Kaohsiung City (in Taiwan) public secondary education school gifted students, we estimate the impact of top dog and bottom dog status on bullying, safety, belonging, and academic achievement by Multiple Regression. This article provides the first credibly causal evidence that top dog status improves the learning environment. We further find that the top dog effect is strongest in sixth grade and in schools with longer grade spans and that the top dog effect is not explained by new students to a school or student height. Finally, we find that the gifted students model is similar to the generally students model.
