Teaching portfolios are furthermore a significant contributor to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, as it provides tangible evidence of personal engagement in trying to improve teaching practice. However, not all academics compile comprehensive teaching portfolios due to a lack of awareness of what is required or due to ignorance of its perceived value. The research question therefore arises: \"How may academics develop a comprehensive teaching portfolio to accurately reflect their personal engagement and acquired skills\". The purpose of this paper is to present an academics personal perspective of how to structure and formulate such a portfolio that will provide tangible evidence of good teaching, personal experience and acquired skills. The author received an Advanced Career Teaching Award from his institution and a Commendation for Teaching from the Council of Higher Education in South Africa during 2015, thereby validating his submitted teaching portfolio as being comprehensive. A scholarly personal narrative is used that may be linked to a constructivist research methodology that recognizes the validity and usefulness of a researcher's personal experience in a specific discipline. Critical subsections of the teaching portfolio relate to one's teaching statement, practice and evidence. The last subsection, teaching evidence, should present many photographs and sketches with a detailed label of the academic's achievements and of student learning, accounting for more than 75% of the teaching portfolio. Each of the subsections are elaborated in the paper in an attempt to provide a guideline to new or struggling engineering academics of how to develop a comprehensive teaching portfolio, thereby mitigating any perceived misconceptions regarding its structure and formulation.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"444 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116719038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its original version, it was intended to measure university students' research competences. In the beginning of this study, there were only a few tools available which were reliable. For the purposes of this study, they were not suitable. At the same time, there was no validated version of the F-Komp available, which made the whole validation process for further usage necessary. This questionnaire is based on a structure, which consist of different skills and knowledge and is focused on measuring research competence in general. The validation and modification of the F-Komp is therefore the aim of our contribution as well as a revised version of the questionnaire. We proceeded an explorative factor and a reliability analysis to do a general evaluation of the tool. Some modifications were done in the questionnaire to make it more suitable to the requirements of technical oriented universities of applied sciences [5]. Our revised version is slightly longer and contains several items to gather data about the participants demographics. The modified questionnaire is based on a more appropriate factor structure. This structure is more practically oriented and pays attention to ethical issues. In future cases, this questionnaire will be used in research oriented courses to measure students' progress in acquiring the knowledge and methods which are necessary to perform as a scientist in different research areas.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121404840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The riderless bicycle scenario is not only familiar to students and rich in a large number of theoretical and practical research topics but also integrates mechatronics engineering subjects from the freshman year to the senior year. Through the series of courses, students are allowed to have project-based learning in this scenario so as to cultivate the necessary professional knowledge, practical skills and core competencies for entering the industry in the future. The series of courses include the introduction, in-depth, and transformation courses. The introduction courses guide students about the scenario and establish their framework relation and basic understanding about the various subjects of mechatronics engineering. The in-depth courses allow the students to gradually design and actually fabricate the riderless bicycle. During the process, they can study and integrate the various subjects and disciplines in depth as well as develop independent learning, innovative thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills and other core competencies. The transformation courses help the students internalize their knowledge and experience in the scenario, translating them into other practical applications and connecting with the industry. This study designed a learning workshop for actual implementation and conducted a survey afterward on to make a preliminary assessment of the feasibility and basic functions of the riderless bicycle as a project-based learning and teaching scenario and to collect feedback from students to serve as the reference for the design and improvement of follow-up curriculum series","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123817420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we review the well-known technique of Persona that is used in some processes of realization of interactive systems. In this technique, a Persona represents an archetype of the users interacting in the system to be produced. From this Persona technique, we define the Living Persona one. Within the framework of practical work students have to specify an interactive system, this technique of Living Persona consists in making the teacher play the role of a representative of the contracting authority, who is also potentially a future user of the system to be specified. As a consequence, during his meetings with the students, the teacher has to adopt a behavior in compliance with the state of mind of the users' archetype defined by the Persona. Then we present a pedagogical scenario which integrates this Living Persona technique and we apply it to a practical work in which the students must produce an interactive system specification using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). We show through a classroom experience that the practical work set up provides students with work situations close to professional realities. We evaluate the level of interactions between students and teacher and the extent to which this pedagogy influences some students behaviors. Finally, the continuation of our research is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132042972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tertiary students are one step away from taking serious career decisions and as a result, a large number of articles try to decipher the mechanisms behind the development of their entrepreneurial intentions. Personality traits, factors of the social environment and the role of entrepreneurship education are among the factors investigated by previous research. However, entrepreneurial intentions in the field of Information Technology remain understudied. In this research drawing from gender schemas theory and the theory of planned behavior, we investigate the impact of gender typed personality and social norms in conjunction with the role of entrepreneurial education. The sample consists of tertiary Information Technology students. In contrast to previous research, social norms have a significant impact on entrepreneurial intentions, in comparison to entrepreneurial education which has a marginally weaker effect. Additionally, certain personality traits stereotypically associated with the masculinity have a major predicting ability on these intentions. The findings have valuable implications for educators and entrepreneurship course designers.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133193301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Karel enables students to programmatically solve problems, using the C language, in a graphical two-dimensional world by moving the robot around while checking and manipulating its surroundings. We use Karel to solve the dilemma of either demanding too much or not enough from students during the first weeks of an introductory CS course, as interesting problems can be solved with limited input from lectures. Karel enables problem solving from day one of CS1, and encourages good software engineering practices such as top-down design from the beginning. We outline typical problems in the first weeks of CS1. We present a short overview of existing Karel implementations in various programming languages and our rationale for re-implementing Karel. We present our teaching philosophy and use of Karel in the classroom. We demonstrate how Karel is being used from a student perspective, along with a typical programming task. We discuss preliminary results of a survey and interviews with students from a first course in which Karel was used.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133642969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the knowledge of a co-creation process is managed, processes and/or activities are developed to create innovative resources that support the needs of students. In this project, knowledge management was used to administer important parts or steps of the process such as communication between all the parties involved, storing and visualizing of the knowledge gained and managing the activities and contributions so that they could be shared in the future. We propose a way to apply knowledge management to educational material co-creating processes, which will manage the contributions made and activities generated during the process. We present a two-perspectives approach for managing the participants' contributions within the process and its activities. The first is a theoretical model demonstrating how to capture and store the knowledge gained (i.e. contributions and activities) from the co-creation process itself for future use, and the second is a technological perspective which uses information technologies to support the educational material co-creating process. The knowledge management approach seeks to generate a way to develop a precise and efficient co-creation process, by capturing and storing knowledge in a systematic and ordered way.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114959100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed work model aims to increase the interaction between undergraduate and postgraduate students in a project-management based industrial model applied to research. The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate how this organizational structure helps to increase innovation, speed-up research, and increase the students' skills. The roles assigned to students and advisors in multidisciplinary groups create a synergic interaction among members that allows for an interruption-free working environment. The strengths of this model and the methodology to implement it are presented. The model adds value to the curricula and helps to comply with the metrics established by national and international accreditation institutions. Knowledge transfer is an important aspect in the development of projects because of the high turnover rate in academia during the development of global products. Therefore, it is important to avoid repetitive tasks to save time. The implementation of this model has provided the development of functional prototypes, the graduation of participating students with project management experience, and a global increase in scientific production.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"18 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114032681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
