categories appear: “Online and Remote Laboratories” (2018, 2019,2021 and 2022), “Management of Engineering Education” (2017 and 2020) and “Government,Industry, and University” (2020). Third, the predominant categories from 2017 to 2021 and in2023 were “Technology for Teaching and Learning, E-Learning, and Distance Education” and“Accreditation” (2022 and 2024).It can also be noted that in the last two years (2023-2024) the “Management of EngineeringEducation” topic occupies the first place; in second and third place, the “Accreditation” topicsare reversed with that of “Technology for Teaching”.On the other hand, we note that the topics “Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics in EngineeringEducation”, “Ethics and Society in Engineering Education”, and

conventional face-to-face learning enhanced their practical and calculationskills revealed that this teaching method was either highly successful or effective.Online instruction inherently restricts students' capacity to perform practical experiments intechnical laboratories. The laboratory experience is inherently irreplaceable by any alternativecourse delivery technique. Consequently, students at both campuses encountered a subparexperience in remote classes regarding laboratory instruction. Online classes were either highlyineffective or useless in enhancing students' engineering laboratory skills. In contrast, studentsevaluate the efficacy of conventional in-person learning for the enhancement of engineeringlaboratory skills as either extremely

current educational landscape: Demand vs supplyEngineering education in Kazakhstan provides a strong technical foundation, equipping studentswith analytical and problem-solving skills necessary for structured, discipline-specific challenges.Programs are built around core subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, combinedwith specialized courses in mechanical, electrical, chemical, and computer engineering. Moduleslike Mechanical Design with CAD and Machining Laboratory and Signals and Systems developtechnical precision through computational analysis, simulation tools, and laboratoryexperimentation. However, opportunities for fostering creativity and interdisciplinary collaborationremain limited.This study evaluates the engineering

in the United States is expected to yield benefits to society, justifying theinvestment of public funds. Finkelstein et al. [1] describe this as a “unique American tradition[of] service and engagement with the greater society.” The scholarship of engagement in Boyer’smodel [2] aligns with this mission. Community engagement can take a variety of forms,including integration into classroom teaching (e.g., service-learning), mentoring co-curricularactivities (e.g., learning through service), outreach (often into K-12 schools and via publicinformation), and research. Community engaged research (CER) is defined as “the collaborativegeneration, refinement, conservation, and exchange of reciprocally beneficial and societallyrelevant knowledge that

In the case of the Technological University of Panama, it is better positioned than theuniversities in the sample taken. However, a value of 0.3105 is a very low value for success in the trainingprocess in the subject of teaching on the subject of semiconductors.It is important to mention that the indicators of scientific and technological production on the subject ofchip manufacturing are null. These data were collected from the Scopus and Lens.org databases.Likewise, universities do not provide much information on their websites regarding the sub-indicators ofhuman resources with scientific impact and the sub-indicator of
