The labor market has demanded technical and transversal competences from graduates. In higher education, these competences are developed and/or enhanced through activities related to active learning approaches, which places the student at the center of the learning process. Much has been written the importance of active learning for students' professional development. Less has been known about the institutional...
In recent years, the rapid advancement of digital technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence (AI), has significantly influenced how teaching and learning are designed, delivered, and experienced within higher education. One notable and increasingly relevant application is using chatbots as supportive tools for educators and students. Chatbots can reduce administrative workload, enhance studen...
Using technologies as enablers of active learning methodologies is a recurring topic in the scientific literature. Various tools have been developed and applied in engineering education, yielding promising results. The rapid development and widespread adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) language models have recently sparked discussions on their use, regulation, and evaluation in the teaching and...
Competence assessment and development are constantly evolving, following methodological and technological advances. Scenario-based competency assessment as a tool to develop behavioral competencies has gained prominence in response of criticism of traditional assessment methods. Unlike conventional approaches, scenario-based assessment uses hypothetical situations based on real contexts, allowing participants t...
This study aims to propose a method for mapping the implementation of active learning approaches by quantifying engineering teachers’ self-perception. It also seeks to examine the correlations between the implementation of active learning approaches and training, as well as publications focused on active learning. To conduct the study, active learning concepts were defined, and a set of approaches were selected...
Working on real-world cases increases the motivation for learning, and prepares engineering students to become problem solvers. This is even more so for projects that have the potential to create visible and lasting impact, e.g. related to problems of social or environmental sustainability. Such problems are usually open ended, and require students to work together across - which can also create stress and unce...
This workshop aims to support participants to be able to plan an interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach, exploring several dimensions of PBL. The conceptual fundamentals, such as framing PBL in the Active Learning continuum, PBL principles, project typologies, and PBL models, will be briefly discussed, serving as a basis for the workshop. During the practical part of the workshop, the participa...
Technological advancements such as generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have gained popularity, partly due to their ability to provide iterative access to extensive information. This has impacted the education field, introducing new opportunities and challenges in learning, teaching, and assessment. This article intends to present the development and deployment of a chatbot designed to foster studen...
