“…As knowledge rapidly expands in some engineering fields, the debate raises on what contents to include or leave out of engineering studies curricula (Cheville et al, 2019). In fact, the amount of content deemed necessary for graduates of engineering degree programs has steadily increased over the last decades (Bourne et al, 2005).…”

Higher Education institutions strive to continuously improve to meet students' expectations. Thus, it is vital to understand the factors involved in students' perceptions on their degree and on the quality of the teaching received. Engineering degrees require specific conditions due to their complex practical lessons and the need for high applicability, and our aim is to identify what affects the quality of the teaching delivered to our engineering students.Previous research on Higher Education focused on students' perception has been based on closed response questionnaires, which do not provide enough information. Hence, we asked students to freely make remarks, positive and/or negative on an open response questionnaire, and the qualitative analysis of their answers led to the description of a fourcategory figure (Teacher, Subject, Student and Degree) revealing students' perceptions.Open response questionnaires offer administrators valuable information, as a complement to the quantitative analysis based on closed response questionnaires.

“…Reports are to be filed from at least three of the six categories every year. Cheville, Madhavan, Heywood and Richey [16] see a possible challenge in having a fragmented educational system (industries, associations, etc.). They point out that "industry invests in courses and credentials because learning has a direct effect on business."…”

where she has taught Engineering Communication for over 30 years. She also has served as a consultant to individuals and groups in other communication areas, such as medicine, law, and business and industry. Her research interests include collaborative projects in engineering; the synergy between engineering design and communication design and, recently, engineering students' self-reported confidence levels in writing and speaking, teamwork and lifelong learning. Dr. Parker is a Life Senior Member of IEEE.S. Norma Godavari, MLIS, has been the Engineering Librarian at the University of Manitoba, well, since a goodly number of years now (+30) and never fails to be amazed at the creativity and imagination of our engineering students. We continue to learn from each other all through their formal education and even beyond sometimes. She has become involved as the liaison librarian in the Engineering Faculty, especially in the Engineering Communication course, teaching and assisting in the evolution of the course, as well as with Mechanical and Civil capstone and thesis courses. Norma is on a research leave this year.

“…It is aligned with the everyday and the messiness that surrounds it, particularly in respect of career expectations and prospects, and for which it has a particular mission. Put in another way it enables a person "to use, manage, evaluate, and understand technology in one's day-to-day activities or one's life" [11]. It is necessarily problem-based.…”

John Heywood completed 60 years of membership with ASEE in June. His first paper to ERM was in 1973. He has some 190 authored and co-authored publications including 6 books on aspects of engineering education. His "Engineering Education. Research and Development in Curriculum and Instruction" received the best research publication award from the Division for the Professions of the American Educational research Association" . His most recent book Designing Engineering and Technology Curricula. Embedding Educational Philosophy was published by Morgan and Claypool as an e book this year. He is a Professor Emeritus of Trinity College Dublin (The University of Dublin) where he was for twenty years Director of Teacher Education. Prior to that he was a member of the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Industrial Studies at the University of Liverpool. He directed the first attempt at a multi-dimensional analysis of the jobs done by engineers published in 1978 as "Analysing Jobs". His particular interests in engineering are in radio astronomy and space research and he participated in one of the radio observation programmes of Sputnik I. He is a Fellow of ASEE and a Life Fellow of IEEE. Alan Cheville (T. Jefferson Miers Chair in Electrical Engineering, Professor Department Chair)Alan Cheville studied optoelectronics and ultrafast optics at Rice University before joining Oklahoma State University working on terahertz frequencies and engineering education. While at Oklahoma State he developed courses in photonics and engineering design. After serving for two and a half years as a program director in engineering education at the National Science Foundation, he became chair of the ECE Department at Bucknell University. He is currently interested in engineering design education, engineering education policy, and the philosophy of engineering education.
