The senior project course is, usually, a two semester course. This short time frame, poses challenges for both students and faculty. Students have to achieve the outcomes of the project to a certain extent and the faculty has to manage, follow up and evaluate efficiently the work of their students individually and by group. One common problem in senior project is the missing of the control during the visit of the students to a company for project preparation purpose. In this paper, we propose a new and efficient design of follow up for faculty to manage properly and evaluate effectively the individual progress of the students during the preparation of their senior projects and to avoid “free riders” situation. Our idea is based on the mobile technology to track the students' progress, meeting, and visiting industry and so on. The proposed idea is helpful to avoid free-riding students also provides instructors with solid evidence of the student progress.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117181612","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 the case of engineering education, it is particularly necessary to care the student motivation by several reasons. The difficulty of engineering degrees can hinder the motivation of students and it can affect the high levels of absenteeism and dropping out. Thus, it is important to work up frameworks to evaluate and enhance, in addition to technical competences, other competences such as motivation. This paper presents the definition of a motivational framework composed by several instruments, resources, mechanisms and technologies. It allows teachers and academic institutions to evaluate and enhance the motivation of their students. But the most innovative characteristic of the framework lies in the student side; it also allows students to self-evaluate and enhance their motivation by performing questionnaires, recommendations and complementary training activities. In order to validate the proposed solutions, a case study has been successfully performed with 152 students of the Technical University of Madrid. The empirical experience has enabled to confirm the usefulness of the provided framework and to explore motivational aspects related with the engineering education.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"96 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121013682","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}

Umbleja","doi":"10.1109/EDUCON.2015.7095985","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EDUCON.2015.7095985","url":null,"abstract":"This paper analyses how students familiarize themselves and cope with novel competence-based approach to learning in online e-learning environment where the focus is on personal learning. Learners have freedom to mark their own path through the courses without deadlines by choosing themselves what, when and how much they learn. That methodology concentrates on measuring what a person can actually do as a result of learning. In order to have that kind of detailed picture of everyone's abilities, different kind of approach for assessment was developed using automatic algorithms that mimic student's answering process with small repeatable exercises. As every competence is being graded separately with high level of granularity, one definitive final grade requires a more complex aggregation function to be designed. Grades are suggested for students when enough work has been done and on their own discretion they can either accept that result or keep working to achieve a higher grade. As this kind of personalized approach to learning leaves all responsibility of planning to a learner, they have to have a proper overview of their own progress and an access to sufficient data in order to make educated learning decisions. To facilitate that problem five different student's progress visualization tools were offered to students. Their usage, benefits and drawbacks according to students' feedback have been analyzed. The conclusions drawn are that visual tools have helped majority of students to follow their process better than before and every student prefers different kinds of tools depending on their personality. While some students have benefited a lot from the freedoms offered by the system, others had hard time motivating themselves to work and therefore found it to be difficult to complete the course on time.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127377746","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}

Even if it involves some risks, there is no doubt that they are part of daily lifes of students, as well as the educational community. At higher education the use of these resources is even more relevant, as they all have at least one smart device. In this paper we show four experiences in the use of mobile devices for learning and teaching at the Faculty of Engineering (University of Deusto, Spain). We present four cases where mobile devices were used with educational purpose: generic activities for the learning management, activities in a laboratory, project management and ordinary activities in the classroom. We also provide the results of a questionnaire students answered about how they use mobile devices (in and out the classroom) and how they value their use in their learning.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122834880","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}

Traditionally, these systems are based on capturing users' opinions through quantitative evaluations given by numerical ratings. However, it has been demonstrated that mapping opinions to numerical values might entail biased problems, skewing the reputation of some entities. In this work, we present our proposal for dealing with such problems, based on capturing opinions through comparative evaluations. Besides, we state that this mechanism can be successfully applied in MOOCs, in order to estimate the reputation of learning resources, allowing us to provide students/users with better resources.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123006758","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}
