Abstract:
American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), Louisville, Kentucky, USA, June, 2010
This paper outlines the development of a problem-based learning module called the Biosystems Engineering Design Challenge. The focus of the module is on designing and building a working, bench-scale device that solves a practical problem relevant to Biosystems Engineering. It provides an early opportunity for students to learn about engineering design, project management and teamwork. The module aligns well with the academic policy of University College Dublin to introduce alternative teaching and learning strategies compared to the conventional lecture. While the original aim of the module was to enhance the learning experience specifically for Biosystems Engineering students, it was considered beneficial to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach by allowing students from a wide variety of programs to participate. Students are split into teams and meet an assigned mentor each week during a 12-...

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 ...

Recruitment and Retention: the Role of the Public Image of Engineering
(2007)
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 focuses on their motivation for studying engineering and the people who influenced the 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.

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...

Employer and student perspectives on skills for engineers in the twenty first century and beyond
(2010)
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.

A 3D visualisation to enhance cognition in software product line engineering
(2009)
Cawley, Ciarán; Botterweck, Goetz; Healy, Patrick; Bin Abid, Saad; Thiel, Steffen
Abstract:
Software Product Line (SPL) Engineering is a development paradigm where core artefacts are developed and subsequently configured into different software products dependent on a particular customer's requirements. In industrial product lines, the scale of the configuration (variability management) can become extremely complex and very difficult to manage. Visualisation is widely used in software engineering and has proven useful to amplify cognition in data intensive applications. Adopting this approach within software product line engineering can help stakeholders in supporting essential work tasks by enhancing their understanding of large and complex product lines. In this paper we present our research into the application of visualisation techniques and cognitive theory to address SPL complexity and to enhance cognition in support of the SPL engineering processes. Specifically we present a 3D visualisation approach to enhance stakeholder cognition and thus support variability...

Successful Engineering and Technology Student Mobility: Key Student Perspectives and Quality Determinants Before, During and After Student Exchange Under the Atlantis Programme
(2011)
Murphy, Mike; McHale, Donal; Dyrenfurth, Michael
Abstract:
In this paper, we describe the lessons learned, and determinants of quality, from two Atlantis programmes. Additionally our two student authors will share key student perspectives relevant to student mobility: (1) before they visited the partner university, (2) while they were studying at the partner university and (3) after they returned to their home university. Purdue University and the Dublin Institute of Technology, together with the Hochschule Darmstadt and Pennsylvania State University, were successful in securing an Atlantis mobility grant [1] for four years to support student and staff mobility between the United States and Europe. The programme has just completed its third year and both engineering and technology students have benefitted from it. Subsequently Purdue University, Dublin Institute of Technology and the Universitat Politècnica De Catalunya were successful in securing an Atlantis grant to implement a dual degree MSc in Sustainability, Technology & Innovatio...

Case study of a project-based learning course in civil engineering design
(2013)
Gavin, Kenneth
Abstract:
This paper describes the use of project-based learning to teach design skills to civil engineering students at University College Dublin (UCD). The paper first considers the development of problem-based leaning (PBL) as a tool in higher education. The general issues to be considered in the design of the curriculum for a PBL module are reviewed. Consideration of the literature on the application of PBL in civil engineering suggests that, because of the hierarchical nature of engineering education, PBL is best applied in a hybrid form known as Project Based Learning. A detailed description is given of how hybrid PBL was implemented in the final year of a civil engineering degree programme. In the final section, the results of an evaluation process designed to gain an insight into students’ perceptions of the PBL process are reviewed. The module, which was developed at UCD, provided an excellent mechanism for developing many skills, including problem-solving, innovation, group-working ...

Exploring the Barriers to Independent Study and Learning in First Year Undergraduate Engineering Students?
(2011)
Morris, Robert Martin
Abstract:
This mixed method case study was carried out in the Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland and was conducted with the co-operation of four experienced lecturers of engineering and three groups of first year undergraduate engineering students. The main aim of the research was to identify factors which represent barriers to the independent study and learning of first year engineering students. Many first year engineering students do not return to college for the second year of their programmes. Many reasons for this are identified in the research, including the failure of students to pass assessments and exams as a result of the lack of independent study and learning. For this research qualitative interviews were carried out with four experienced lecturers to capture their views and experiences of the study and learning habits of first year students. The data gathered during these interviews, in conjunction with my own personal experiences, and knowledge gathered from the research li...

Abstract:
ASABE Annual Meeting, Minneapolis, June 17-20, 2007
The Biosystems Engineering Design Challenge has recently become an academic module open to all undergraduate students at University College Dublin. The focus of the module is on designing and building a working, bench-scale device that solves a practical problem relevant to Biosystems Engineering. The module provides an opportunity for students to learn about engineering design, project management and teamwork. Enrolled students are split into teams of up to seven and meet an assigned mentor each week during a semester (12 weeks) to solve a specified problem. The objectives thus far have focused on water-driven electricity generation, treatment of greywater from domestic buildings,and biofiltration of malodors from food waste. The assessment criteria include teamwork, minimisation of expenditure, device design, innovation, operational safety, system performance, report writing and appropriate use of biological and recycled mate...

Understanding the role of knowledge management in software development: a case study in very small companies
(2014)
O'Connor, Rory; Basri, Shuib
Abstract:
Software and systems engineering is distinct from other forms of engineering as it deals with an intangible product, where the progress in construction is not explicitly visible and team members often rely on the docu- mentation of others to follow and review progress. Furthermore unlike traditional engineering disciplines, there is no single standardized unified process. The role of knowledge management in the software engineering literature is becoming more evident, as the software development activity is essentially a human knowledge intensive activity and is seen by many as a key factor. This paper discusses the role of software development knowledge management within software development process and specifically how software development knowledge is managed in software development in order to support software process improvement and the role of knowledge management in this. The authors present the results of a study of knowledge management process practices in very small softwa...

A comparative study of shear stresses in collagen-GAG and calcium phosphate scaffolds in bone tissue-engineering bioreactors
(2008)
KELLY, DANIEL
Abstract:
The increasing demand for bone grafts combined with their limited availability and potential risks has led to much new research in bone tissue engineering. Current strategies of bone tissue engineering commonly utilize cell-seeded scaffolds and flow perfusion bioreactors to stimulate the cells to produce bone tissue suitable for implantation into the patient?s body. The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the wall shear stresses in two bone tissue engineering scaffold types (collagen-GAG and calcium phosphate) exposed to fluid flow in a perfusion bioreactor. Based on ?CT images, 3D numerical CFD models of the two scaffold types were developed to calculate the wall shear stresses within the scaffolds. For a given flow rate (normalized by the crosssectional area of the scaffolds), shear stress is 2.8-fold higher in the collagen- GAG than the calcium-phosphate scaffold. This is due to the differences in scaffold geometry, particularly the pore size (collagen-GAG pore size ~96...
