“…Furthermore, the lack of creativity in teaching mathematics is one of the factors that can lead to boredom and a loss of interest in the subject. Teachers are currently working hard to educate a new generation of engineering students using old methods, incorporating tools that are no longer effective and providing knowledge (information, concepts, relationships, and so on) using only speech without interaction among students [51,18]. According to , students belonging to the new generation of engineers demand the use of technology in advancing their learning by changing traditional passive learning methodologies to active multisensory experimental learning methodologies.…”

Technology is increasingly changing the way that engineering students are taught. In recent years, we have witnessed a significant growth in using computer game technologies for teaching and learning in different engineering fields and contexts. This approach offers the ability to create complex and highly interactive scenarios with a solid theoretical basis to teach material in new and highly interactive ways. This paper introduces the application of the game‐based learning approach and instructional design for creating a 2D computer game in order to support mathematics teaching and learning in the first‐year of an undergraduate engineering course. Additionally, an experiment was conducted on a Computer and Electronic Engineering course to evaluate the effects of the proposed game by following the “competency‐based learning” approach on students with sequential and global learning styles. The results showed that the computer game increased the learning experience and motivation of global learners when learning mathematical topics.

In response to calls for engineering programs to better prepare students for future careers, many institutions offer courses with a design component to first-year engineering students. This work proposes that traditional exam-based assessments of design concepts are inadequate, and alternative forms of assessment are needed to assess student learning in design courses. This paper investigates the self-efficacy differences between a traditional exam and a two-part practicum as a mid-semester assessment for introductory engineering students enrolled in a first-year design course. Increased self-efficacy has been linked to various positive student outcomes and increased retention of underrepresented students. The practicum consisted of an in-class team design task and an out-of-class individual reflection, while the exam was a traditional, individual written exam. All students completed a pre-assessment survey and a post-assessment survey, both of which included measures of design self-efficacy. Analysis showed that the practicum increased the design self-efficacy of students more effectively than the exam. Students who identified as women had greater gains in design self-efficacy during the practicum as compared to men. Identifying as a minority subgroup student was also trending towards being a significant predictor of change in self-efficacy for the practicum. Findings suggest that a mid-semester practicum is a successful assessment of design competencies that contributes to increased first-year engineering student self-efficacy.
