E-learning in engineering education

Current practices of ICT and e-learning in engineering education

Case Study

Discussions

use of ICT for delivery of classroom lectures

demonstration and conduct of laboratory experiments, course and class management and administration

learn an animations and visualizations for demonstrate the working of a component, functioning of a circuit or process

Learn simulation software, engineering design and evaluation tools, mind-mapping tools

E-learning can further augment engineering education

Web tools

Example:MatLab, Mathematica, MathCad, Octave, OrCAD, SPICE, AutoCAD, Solid Works, Inspiration, MindManager,

by usinge-resources, online courses, blended learning, lecture management systems, and other communication and collaboration tools

can be used to work in collaboration on seminar papers, project reports, experimental write-ups

Example:Google Talk, Skype, etc. can be used for AV and text Instructions, sharing relevant news and notices,

In e-learning resources of diverse

learning objects such as simulations, structured lessons, animations, videos

multi-user, dynamic and interactive learning environments permitting constructive learning,

Virtual Learning Environments (VLE)

Innovative learning technologie

Studied the relationship between engineering students’ learning styles and their performance

Type of resources are digital or digitized

Example:lecture notes, tutorials, e-books,

learner learns by doing such as Finesse (Michaelson, 2003) and WiFi Virtual Laboratory (Allison et al., 2008).

that also support notice-boards, chat rooms, online assessment, whiteboards, and other web tools. Both commercial and open source VLEs and MLEs

Can share their teaching expertise and learning resources globally

helping students to improve their individual performance

helped them improve their skills and understanding.

Teaching and learning

using relevant equipment under the supervision of teachers

These differences are much more in case of e-learning

ICT and e-learning

types of e-resources are made available but courses are also offered online and constructivist pedagogy can be applied

can be employed to improve efficiency of engineering education whether offered through traditional (based on positivism) or emerging approaches.
