Using Model Building in Structural Engineering to Enhance Understanding of Construction Principles and Methods
(2013)
Holmes, Niall; Mullen, Henry
Abstract:
This paper presents a new model building exercise in a second year module in the Department of Civil & Structural Engineering in the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT). The activity aimed to improve students’ understanding of structural engineering, construction principles and methods. It allowed students to practically apply lecture material and construct a scaled model giving them an opportunity to study and visualise a real structure and generate their own ideas on how it should be assembled within a constructivist active learning environment. As a result, lectures were found to be more interactive and students more engaged in the discussions and provided a pathway to bridge the gap between theory (presented in lectures) and the reality of their professions, which can aid them in their graduate careers. It is hoped that this type of active learning can be used in other engineering programmes to improve student understanding and as an opportunity to better apply lecture mate...

The creation of a living laboratory for structural engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway
(2013)
Goggins, Jamie; Byrne, D; Cannon, E
Abstract:
The recently completed New Engineering Building (NEB) at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is a new state of the art academic facility on the university's north campus. The building unites all five engineering disciplines within the university and at 14,250m2 is now the largest engineering school in Ireland. It represents a milestone in the construction of engineering educational facilities by incorporating the use of numerous types of sensors to create an interactive learning environment for engineering students. Not only will it be a centre of education, but the building itself will act as a living laboratory and teaching tool. This paper outlines the instrumentation of the structural elements within the building and the part they will play in the teaching and understanding of structural engineering within the university.

Recruiting First Year Engineering Undergraduates
(2006)
Conlon, Eddie
Abstract:
This paper presents findings of three surveys conducted with first year students in the Faculty of Engineering in the Dublin Institute of Technology. It presents evidence on the reasons students study engineering, their sources of information on higher education programmes and the people who influence their decision to do engineering. It shows there are gaps in the students’ knowledge of their programmes and also between their expectations and their experience of their course. Some proposed areas of action are identified to increase both recruitment and retention. It is argued that projecting an image of engineering as a creative activity would help in addressing recruitment and retention issues.

Justice in climate engineering - towards a Rawlsian appropriation
(2017)
Pamplaniyil, Augustine
Abstract:
Climate Engineering as a technological solution to anthropogenic climate change has been on the table at least since 2006. Understandably, there has been considerable activity among ethicists in weighing the pros and cons of climate engineering. This research approaches the climate engineering ethical debate from the point of view justice. The lead question of this research is, can climate engineering be developed in a just manner? And the research question is answered from the perspectives of distributive justice, intergenerational justice and procedural justice. The concerns with distributive, intergenerational and procedural justice are evaluated against the theoretical framework of the notion of distributive, intergenerational and procedural justice in John Rawls. After exposing the serious challenges with climate engineering to be justified from the point of view of justice, the thesis highlights certain essential conditions that may render climate engineering justifiable from ...

Engineering Project Appraisal (2nd. ed)
(2012)
Rogers, Martin G; Duffy, Aidan
Abstract:
In most cases of civil engineering development, a range of alternative schemes meeting project goals are feasible, so some form of evaluation must be carried out to select the most appropriate to take forward. Evaluation criteria usually include the economic, environmental and social contexts of a project as well as the engineering challenges, so engineers must be familiar with the processes and tools used. The second edition of Engineering Project Appraisal equips students with the understanding and analytical tools to carry out effective appraisals of alternative development schemes, using both economic and non-economic criteria. The building blocks of economic appraisal are covered early, leading to techniques such as net present worth, internal rate of return and annual worth. Cost Benefit Analysis is dealt with in detail, together with related methods such as Cost Effectiveness and the Goal Achievement Matrix. The text also details three multi-criteria models which have proved ...

Implementation of a CDIO compliant syllabus in a large engineering programme
(2008)
KELLY, KEVIN; BENNETT, GARETH; LYONS, CHRISTOPHER
Abstract:
The role of the engineer in industry has evolved, with to day?s engineering businesses seeking engineers with abilities and attributes in two broad areas - te chnical understanding and enabling skills. Institutions within the engi neering community such as ABET, the RAE and members of the CDIO initiative have highlighted a need for new approaches to learning and teaching of engineering within our academic institutions. A common paradigm of engineer ing third level education sees a first year syllabus which introduces basic engineering sciences and mathem atics, proceeding in subsequent years through more applied science and discipline specific t echnologies, and culminating with a variety of ?capstone? courses and a substa ntial engineering project. In many cases the key engineering skills of synthesis, creativity, de sign and implementation are only r eally given full expression at this (late) stage. This paper reports on the implementation of a ne w project based ...

An exploration of attainment in leaving cert mathematics, and correlation, if any, with progression from first year civil engineering in GMIT
(2015)
Newell, Shane
Abstract:
The ‘Mathematical Problem’ has been reported and discussed extensively in Ireland and internationally for the last twenty years. This problem relates to students entering numerate disciplines, such as Engineering, and the decline in basic mathematical skills and level of preparation on entry into Higher Education. This decline presents a major challenge for mathematical based degree courses. This paper reports on a case study of progression in first year of the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering Ordinary degree programme (Level 7) in Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). This study analysed progression for the three previous academic years (2009-12) to determine if there was any correlation between progression and prior attainment in the Leaving Certificate Mathematics. Interview records of students who registered for the programme, conducted annually during induction, formed the basis for the study. The students who progressed from first year were also surveyed to d...

Developing Graduate Attributes to meet the Grand Challenges: What Pedagogical Factors Influence The Development of Graduate Attributes and Does Engineering Education Ensure Graduates Can Address The Global Grand Challenges?
(2016)
Beagon, Una; Barry, Brian M
Abstract:
My interest in preparing graduates for a successful career in industry stems from personal experience of employing graduates as civil and structural engineers in an engineering consultancy role. The range of skills, abilities and values of each graduate was varied, and it became apparent that academic achievement, whilst important was not the defining skill for achieving early responsibility or promotion within the company. More often, the graduate who was able to communicate well and self-direct his/her work was given more responsibility and opportunity. Many graduates would define early promotion, advanced responsibility and the associated increase in salary as the beginnings of a successful career in engineering consultancy. My intent in this paper is to present a plan for a PhD research project to investigate how academic institutions and academics themselves can provide opportunities for students to develop the key skills required for a successful career in consulting engineeri...

Into the Deep: The Role of Paradigms in Understanding Engineering Education for Sustainable Development
(2017)
Nicolaou, Iacovos; Conlon, Eddie; Bowe, Brian
Abstract:
This article presents summary findings of a mixed methods research project exploring the provision of education for sustainable development (SD) in seven Irish engineering degree programmes. Drawing on Sterling’s (2004) iceberg metaphor and Critical Realism it seeks to identify the underlying socio-cultural barriers preventing a holistic integration of SD in engineering education. It argues that the current focus is predominantly on the environmental dimension of SD and that there are a set of reinforcing mechanisms facilitating the provision of disciplinary education aimed at producing technically proficient, employable graduates in which the social dimension of SD is marginalised. This is underwritten by a paradigm of engineering education located between science and market driven approaches as identified by Jamison and others (2014). It is argued that unless there is change in the underlying paradigm towards a more socially driven approach a full integration of SD is unlikely to ...

Enhancing learning on a first year engineering programme with a student design project
(2008)
O'Dwyer, Aidan
Abstract:
This contribution reports on, and evaluates, the use of a design project for enhancing student learning on a first year module in electrical engineering at Dublin Institute of Technology. The project objective, as outlined to the students, was to design and build a, possibly innovative, everyday device that can generate electricity from sources of “free energy”, so as to encourage first year engineering students to use their natural design creativity in a freeform, brainstorming manner. The project allows students to further develop their academic interests, assists student retention and facilitates student interaction, among other advantages. The work encourages students to appreciate that engineering is a creative activity, and helps bring some excitement and fun to the first year experience.

Prior understanding of basic electrical circuit concepts by first year engineering students
(2009)
O'Dwyer, Aidan
Abstract:
There is a broad diversity of educational background of students entering Level 7 programmes in engineering. As a result, students’ reasoning regarding basic electrical concepts often differs from accepted explanations. This contribution reports, analyses and reflects on the results of a multiple-choice diagnostic test to assess student understanding of such concepts (developed by Engelhardt and Beichner (2004) for high school and college students), taken by three cohorts of first year, Level 7, engineering students at Dublin Institute of Technology during the 2008-9 academic year.

Exploitation of Surface Engineering Technology Research
(2008)
Kennedy, David
Abstract:
Surface engineering refers to a wide range of technologies that design and modify the surface properties and characteristics of components. The applications are very broad from macro to nano and from extremely hard materials to polymeric coatings. The uses are found in many engineering, energy, gas and oil, transport, medical, cosmetic, optical, chemical and sports industries. Research in this technology is ongoing and the benefits that can be derived are enormous. The design, wear and tribological properties of components for instance have been greatly enhanced by surface engineering and the economic benefits to industries far outweigh the cost and use of traditional materials. Surface coatings and surface modification as illustrated in Figure 1. represent two key methods of surface deposition. This paper discusses describes the application of this technology and the potential benefits to be derived from current research and innovation in this discipline.

A Strategy for the Development of Lifelong Learning and Personal Skills Throughout an Undergraduate Engineering Pogramme
(2010)
Duffy, Gavin; Bowe, Brian
Abstract:
For many years engineering programmes have placed a stronger emphasis on the development of technical knowledge, understanding and skills at the expense of personal skills such as initiative, creativity, communication, teamwork and lifelong self-directed learning. Recent changes in accreditation criteria call for greater competences in these skills to be achieved in the undergraduate programme. An argument is presented that this requires a change from the traditional approach to engineering education to a group-based project driven one as this is compatible with concurrent development of both technical and non-technical learning outcomes. Just as a clear path of progression exists from the fundamentals of science in stage one to the advanced engineering content in the final year so too should personal skills be developed in a progressive structured way. This paper presents a strategy that is currently being developed and implemented in the School of Electrical Engineering Systems in...

Naher, Sumsun; McMorrow, Denise; Brabazon, Dermot
Abstract:
This research focused on skills identified among final year engineering students. It provided evidence of different levels of skills by students and identifies their greatest learning influences in these areas. The skills were self-assessed by students and covered seven areas designated by Engineers Ireland. Competency levels such as science, software, creativity, engineering practice, social and business, ethics, discipline specific were assessed. It also investigated the important role that work placements play in skills developed by students. Key skills sought by leading Engineering firms from graduates now and in the next five years were also researched in this paper. Employers were surveyed to determine and investigate skills needed from graduate engineers and how best to meet these challenges. The emphasis on work placements and its impact on skills’ development in engineering students such as business acumen and working effectively and efficiently in industry were highlighted.

Women, Engineering and Research: Providing Choice and Balance
(2006)
Chan, Cecilia; Murphy, Mike
Abstract:
“Research cannot reach its full potential when half the population is excluded from its activities”1. Women researchers in engineering remain a minority in both Higher Education and industry in Ireland. Recent statistics of women graduating in science and engineering indicated an increase (a slow increase) but the numbers moving through to completion of PhD and careers in academia or industry remain quite low. Statistics on women in professorial and senior positions within the engineering sector also remains low. The educated workforce produced in Ireland by its education system is acknowledged as a key factor in attracting international investment to the country and in the growth of the modern technological industries which has helped make Ireland one of the fastest growing economies globally. However, as a country Ireland would put this success at risk if it does not continue to develop its research and development capabilities. There has been much debate at national and European ...

Evaluation of a Part-Time Engineering Degree Programme That Aimed to Unify and Diversify
(2010)
Kelly, Kevin; Kenny, Vincent
Abstract:
The School of Electrical Engineering within DIT attempted to address the challenge of increasing diversity in Engineering Education by developing a part-time Electrical Services Engineering degree programme that began as a certificate in 2001 and as a degree in 2003. This four year evening programme had a number of innovations: • Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) • Application of a Student Centred paradigm • Innovative Curriculum Development using Constructivist principles and Project Based Learning (in part) This paper will be an evaluation of the four year part time degree programme. There are issues deserving investigation with regard to the programme. The research questions for this piece of reserach will be: • What do academic staff and students think about the programme. How successful has it really been in widening diversity, applying a student centred paradigm and how innovative has it really been in practice. What part does Project Based Learning really play and does it...

What do Final Year Engineering Students Know About Sustainable Development
(2012)
Nicolaou, Iacovos; Conlon, Eddie
Abstract:
This paper presents data from a project which aims to determine the level of knowledge and understanding of engineering students about Sustainable Development (SD). The data derives from a survey completed by final year engineering students in three Irish Higher Education Institutions. This paper is part of a larger study which examines the relationship between students’ and teachers’ understanding of SD. The results from the survey show that final year engineering students have a discipline-led conception of SD. The majority of the participants fail to acknowledge the complexity of the concept and focus only on environmental protection. Their knowledge of legislation relevant to SD and the social aspect of sustainability is deficient.
