Engineering schools must adopt or develop their own systems and processes for graduate attribute assessment. In this paper, we take a systems engineering approach to graduate attribute assessment and propose a system architecture and tool-supported continuous improvement process with key algorithms and mathematical analysis to process the data and provide performance management reporting. Over several…

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is dedicated to establishing the best teaching and learning environment for students and staff across all higher education institutions.

Computer programming course that utilizes languages such as C/C++ is always packed with dreary syntax details that consume most of the students’ learning time to obtain ‘grammatically’ correct source code. Consequently, it is difficult for most of the students to apply the theory they have learned in a real life context. Thus, this project proposed…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented at the 2nd International Conference of the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education and aims to describe an interdisciplinarity teaching experiment involving three subjects of the scientific area of Mathematics and a fourth one in the area of Management. Using only one project, the students developed skills,…

Understanding and responding to customer feedback is critical for business success. Customer response data offers valuable insights into preferences, behaviours, and sentiment. By analysing this data, businesses can optimize strategies, enhance customer experiences, and drive growth. Many analysis have been conducted in this field, while the review covers a broad range of AI and ML…

The integration of machine learning techniques in industrial production has the potential to revolutionize traditional manufacturing processes. In this study, we examine the efficacy of gradient-boosting machine learning models, specifically focusing on feature engineering techniques, applied to a novel dataset with 3D product models pertaining to work moan-hours in metal sheet stamping projects, framed as…

Augmented reality (AR) technology has been increasingly used in developing teaching materials with the aim of sparking more interest in technology (T) and engineering (E) among students in STEM education. In the proposed system, AR is integrated with an educational robot controlled by a KidBright microcontroller board, developed by the Educational Technology research team (EDT)…

In the context of adopting cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), prospective consumers need to consider a wide array of both business and technical factors associated with the service. The development of an intelligent tool to aid in the assessment of IaaS offerings is highly desirable. However, the creation of such a tool requires a robust foundation of…

In a challenging and increasingly technological world, it is important to promote critical thinking, multidisciplinary problem solving, and collaboration through STEAM education; however, there are important economic, administrative, and especially pedagogical manage- ment limitations for its implementation at the secondary level. Therefore, this paper presents systematic recommendations for an effective and sustainable implementation of STEAM…

This research presents a “Multi-camera for pilot’s cockpit measurement system”, which uses four multi-view images to eliminate the instrument and human body shielding and record the touched area. That could record the body reaction time (velocity and acceleration) and trajectory of the tested personnel. Real-time conversion of multi-view images corresponding to the 3D skeletal joint…

Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is an international model for mapping and classifying underground surfaces according to their accuracy (acquisition method). Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) to map and present the SUE levels paved the way for producing a new Decision Support System (DSS) for the utility mapping process. The proposed system represents an efficient tool…

Sleep stage performs a vital role in people’s daily lives in the detection of sleep-related diseases. Conventional automated sleep stage classifier models are not efficient due to the complexity linked to the design of mathematical models and extraction of hand-engineering features. Further, quick oscillations amongst sleep stages frequently lead to indistinct feature extraction, which might…

In recent years the development of autonomous vehicles has increased tremendously and a variety of methodologies had been applied to make them more safe and secure. This work shows a multilevel approach combining Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis of an autonomous railway system with sociological and technical aspects to support safe operations and human-machine…

This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost basket based on an ARM system on chip architecture using Raspberry Pi single board computer. The inspiration of this research is how to support the traditional low-income retail store in Thailand driving the local micro-business deal with the economic impacts of survival business from the…

The development of an aggregated system consisting of autonomously developed components is usually implemented as a self-contained unit. If such an aggregation is understood as a system of systems (SoS) that communicates via interfaces with its autonomous subsystems and components, the interfaces and communication exchange should play a central role in the architectural design. In…

The context for the study was a naturally occurring quasi-experiment in the core mathematics program in a large Australian university. Delivery of teaching was changed in a sequence of two initial core mathematics subjects taken by engineering and science students. The change replaced one of two face-to-face tutorial classes per week by an online tutorial.…

In this research we developed an BIM-based system to monitor and visualize the real-time building users information. Concentrating on building in-use stages, advantages in tracking facial recognition should be revealed through the availability of real-time information. In this way could explore the possibility of how BIM and IoT could improve data-oriented facility management. The integration…

Technical safety and health are especially important for mining-extracting industry. Even though the respective lows and good engineering practices exist, technologies develop and could address even better security for humans and equipment. The research question is to survey microclimate sensors in underground mining and to find whether they are ready for automation. The article is…

There is no doubt that energy is one of the most important requirements of life, and its importance increases with the passage of time, and this is what make countries to harness the capabilities and scientists in developing energy systems of all kinds, one of the most important energy systems these days is what is…

In control systems, several optimization problems have been overcome using Multi-Agent Sys- tems (MAS). Interactions of agents and the complexity of the system can be understood by using MAS. As a result, functional models are generated, which are closer to reality. Nevertheless, the use of models with permanent availability of information between agents is assumed…

The proposed solution provides a modular modeling and simulation technique that is based on formal system engineering method, therefore the MRS design complexity is decomposed and reduced. Modeling…

Lab sessions in Engineering Education are designed to reinforce theoretical concepts. However, there is usually not enough time to reinforce all of them. Remote and virtual labs give students more time to reinforce those concepts. In particular, with remote labs, this can be done interacting with real lab instruments and specific configurations. This work proposes…

Just as industry is dynamic, constantly evolving according to the state of technology, economics, politics and so on, so must be, higher education. Studies have shown that higher education, for the past century, has constantly adapted to the dynamic skill and knowledge requirements of industry. This adaptation, however, is not always timeous and precise resulting…
