In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering education in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr. Halkiyo

expensive physical experimentation ofdifferent options, such as running laboratory experiments to study the effect of different chemicalcompounds or growing different varieties of crops in an agricultural setting. With the advent ofcomputers, many systems can be modeled computationally based on existing foundationalknowledge. Although some computer models are still considered computationally time-consuming, they can explore different options in settings that would not be possible in physicalexperiments. Examples include photochemical air quality simulations and vehicle crashsimulations. In the case of building design, there are existing computer models to help designersstudy the impact of their design without having to physically build it. For our

MAE students highlighted that individual practicewas a significant factor in developing data proficiency. While not said explicitly, when it comesto

Improving students'conceptual understanding significantly impacted student retention [10].Researchers have developed concept inventories to improve students’ conceptual knowledge ofmechanics topics [11], [12]. More recently researchers have developed targeted problems thatallow them to identify the most common sources of error or misconceptions observed [13], [14],[15], [16]. Each of these researchers categorized the types of errors into buckets such aspreconceived misunderstanding, incomplete understanding, or incorrect understanding [14],factual, procedural, or conceptual [15], and conceptual versus non-conceptual [16].An

DiscussionParticipants, both Indonesians and Japanese, expressed that they had the most learning effectiveness innon-technical areas such as “Communication (4.43)” and “Individual and Collaborative Team work(4.21)”. This suggests that interactive methods such as group work on real-world challenges were moreeffective compared to traditional passive learning in classrooms or laboratories. Additionally, scoresrelated to consciousness aspects such as “The Engineer and the World (4.00)”, and “Lifelong learning(3.79)” were high. Thus, this PBL led to increased awareness related to its social aspects.On the other hand, despite

Students were also told that while they could assist each other in theirexperiments, each student had to design their own experiment and had to write a reportdocumenting that experiment.In the Heat Transfer course, the students were told they could use any of the lab equipment thatthey had used in earlier labs provided they used the equipment to investigate something that hadnot been examined in the previous labs. For example, they could use the department’s heatexchanger testing apparatus to investigate the performance of plate and fin exchanger since theprevious lab had only compared a shell and tube exchanger in counterflow and parallel flowconfigurations. As the Heat Transfer course is
social skills are likely to vary widely among engineering students [2], there isa benefit to creating opportunities for students to develop and refine their skills. A potential idealenvironment for teaching and developing social skills is laboratory situations in which studentscollaborate as they work in teams [3, 4].Students are much more likely to experience positive growth in their social skills when thosethey seek support from when learning (e.g., faculty members, and mentors) integrate and modeleffective social skills in their interactions [5]. Thus, there is justification for researching thestudents’ awareness and understanding of the social skills modeled for them in their interactionswith their learning leaders. Specific to our research

In recent decades, human-centered design (HCD) has arisen as a method for developingdesign thinking in engineering. This approach to design places human needs at the center ofdesign processes, valuing users’ experiences and perspectives as fundamental for the solutionscreated [3], [4].
