Application of e-Learning in engineering education

Application of e-Learning in engineering education

1. E-learning in engineering education

   • teaching assisted by presentations that contains sufficient material, circuit diagrams, network diagrams, process diagrams and flowcharts
   • Animations and visualizations can be used to demonstrate the working of a component, functioning of a circuit or process
   • Simulation software, engineering design and evaluation tools, mind-mapping tools e.g. MatLab, Mathematica,
   • short online lectures can be used in absence of lecturers such as SkyDrive,Google Docs and etc

2. Current practices of ICT and e-learning in engineering education

   • Type of resources are digital or digitized content such as lecture notes, tutorials, e-books, etc. available for download or studying online using OpenCourseWare Consortium and etc
   • Institution created their own virtual and remote laboratories to support life-long learning and autonomous students’ learning activities such as Moodle,Ilias and what not.
   • Web permits educational institutions to share their teaching expertise and learning resources globall
   • evaluation of problem based learning (PBL) implementation.

3. Case Study

   • Internet is used to search solution for problems
   • use online learning modes
   • communicate with students online to some extent

4. Discussion

   • o improve efficiency of engineering education
   • deal with multiple levels of intelligence.
   • improve efficiency of engineering education
