35th IEOM Global Engineering Education

Sydney, Australia, December 20-22, 2022

IEOM Society International addresses the issues of Global Engineering Education. There are various levels of readiness of engineering graduates from various parts of the world. One of the main themes is how to reduce the readiness gap of engineering graduates around the world. The special focus is given to Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering including Engineering Management. Are the engineering graduates ready to take on the challenges of the current global economy? With the great success of Global Engineering Education Series of last IEOM conferences, IEOM Sydney, Australia Conference will have a dedicated session for the 35th Global Engineering Education where distinguished speakers will discuss the readiness of engineering graduates for workforce around the world. Fifteen featured speakers will be from various part of the world to address engineering education challenges and opportunities.

Topic: What motivates Engineering students for Deeper Learning?

Abstract
Student learning is significantly affected by assessment methods, but a concrete relationship has not been established in the context of multidisciplinary engineering education. Students make physiological investment and internalise learning (deep learning) if they see the high value in their learning; they persist despite challenges and take delight in accomplishing their work. As student deep learning is affected by the assessment system, it is important to explore the relationship between assessment systems and factors affecting deep learning. This study identifies the factors that affect the deep learning and examines the effect of different assessment systems on those factors. Strong influence of both summative and formative assessment on learning was established in this study. Engineering educators can facilitate deep learning by adopting both assessments types simultaneously to make the learning process be more effective. Empirically, it investigated the model and the hypotheses developed through a real data from an Australian university (QUT). It would help educators in designing their assessments for better learning outcomes.
