Institutes (HEIs) are undergoing a rapid transformationfrom E.D. 4.0 to E.D. 5.0. However, systematic literature reviews reveal (i) inconsistency among researchers on E.D.5.0 terminology/attributes, and (ii) rather sparse universal markers of E.D. 5.0 that the pedagogical community agreeson. Following a recent mapping work of I.D. 4.0 to E.D. 4.0 [12], we perform a bibliometric analysis with qualitativeand quantitative insights on VOS viewer on the Scopus scientific database to identify (i) elements of E.D. 5.0 currentlyobserved in HEIs, (ii) key attributes to transform from the E.D. 4.0 to the E.D. 5.0 vision (for all fields, and specifically,for engineering and chemical engineering) and (iii) pedagogical strategies/impacts to enable the transform

All together with using active learning, instructors mustalso consider the ‘Student Resistance to Active Learning’ which remains a new area of interest forengineering education research [12]. ‘Student Resistance to Active Learning’ may be reduced byemploying the strategies proposed in literature such as varying the teaching methods usedthroughout the course and making and using a public grading rubric for students to avoidperception of grading unfairness, just to mention few [13-14]. Although, this paper focused on thedifferences in student expectations on the efficacy of instructional practices, the impact of thosechanges on the learning outcomes is yet to be determined and is the focus of our future work.References[1

This new approach will increase student enthusiasm and provide closer alignment of classroom topics with today’s standard industry practice. This paper will deal with a unique application of the research/teaching method used at the undergraduate level, using a hands-on laboratory approach in conjunction with classroom lecture. The approach can be tailored to all levels from introductory freshman to senior-level classes. An open-ended project is utilized, requiring a creative approach for its solution.

, there have been dramatic changes in the way engineering principlesare applied to practical problems. Increasingly, an integrated approach using analytical,experimental, and computational approaches is being utilized. The development of compact,powerful digital computers has been one prime mover in these changes, with computationalalgorithms now often replacing experiments as primary analytical tools. However, experimentsstill play a crucial role in developing in students an understanding of complex thermofluidphenomena. Additionally, the analytical (exact solution) approach still has an important place inbringing intuitive insight into a problem. For these reasons, engineering programs in academia

Additional challenges include students notbeing used to doing large amounts of reading, or readings of the type assigned, such that theymay not think critically and bring good questions for discussion.
