An evaluation of Australian undergraduate engineering management education for flexible deliveryPalmer, Stuart Rohan, mikewood@deakin.edu.au January 2001 (has links)
This thesis examines issues in Australian undergraduate engineering management studies in the context of flexible learning delivery. It is proposed that, within an Australian context:
a) the management skills and competencies required by graduate engineers can be determined and classified on a rational basis, permitting an educational focus on those elements most appropriate for graduates; and
b) on-line and other computer-based technologies are a practical and effective method for the support of undergraduate engineering management studies.
The doctoral project incorporates:
an examination of the nature of engineering management;
a review of the relevant literature establishing the importance of management studies in undergraduate engineering courses;
a review of historical and recent developments in Australian undergraduate engineering management studies;
an investigation of the management skills and competencies required by graduate engineers - based on original research;
an examination of flexible delivery of engineering education - based on professional practice experience; and
an evaluation of case studies of flexible delivery of engineering management education - based on original research and professional practice experience.
A framework of ranked classified management skills is developed. Broadly, the ranking framework is generic professional skills, followed by general management skills and technical discipline specific management skills, followed by other professional discipline skills and theoretical skills. This framework provides a rational basis for design of undergraduate engineering management studies. This is supplemented by consideration of the management skills required for the future of engineering practice.
It is concluded that undergraduate engineering management education is well suited to delivery and support by on-line and computer-based technology. Recent developments in improved access to the Internet, software systems for on-line collaboration and changes in copyright legislation to create a broad-based right to communication via on-line media have contributed to the facilitation of on-line delivery of teaching and learning. It is noted that though many on-line infrastructure issues have been satisfactorily resolved, higher level issues will emerge as being crucial, including the academic staff development and reward for operating in an online teaching environment and the financial sustainability of on-line development and delivery of courses.

Le changement par les technologies numériques en école d'ingénieurs : Étude d’impact / The changing by digital technology in engineering school : Impact StudyNjingang Mbadjoin, Theodore 18 June 2015 (has links)
Résumé : Cette recherche analyse l'impact des technologies numériques sur l'efficacité de l'innovation des formations professionnelles d'ingénieur, des apprentissages et la flexibilité des dispositifs pédagogiques, ainsi que sur la professionnalisation des enseignants tuteurs universitaires. Ceci, au regard des modèles d'organisation managériale et d’usages pédagogiques des TIC. Les résultats de l’axe 1 indiquent que, les dispositifs de Master présentent un modèle d’organisation bi modale hybride qui impacte directement le déséquilibre de répartition des charges entre distance/présence. L’impact indirect sur les actions managériales favorise la flexibilité des dispositifs en termes de gestion des contraintes professionnelles/distance géographique et l’adaptation horaire, l’ouverture aux projets communs, le libre choix des méthodes et outils de communication collaborative médiatisée, accentués par l’émergence de changements de comportement, et une forte dynamique d’esprit d’équipe acceptant les différences constructives. En revanche, il suscite chez l’étudiant l’expression d’un mal-être se traduisant par la nécessité de souplesse structurelle, un besoin de télé laboratoire et plus de travaux pratiques professionnels en présence. L’axe 2 indique un impact direct sur l’usage pédagogique intensif du groupe d’outils incitatifs et interactifs (Emails, chat, forum, simulations, exerciseurs, conception/modèle graphe), et un usage médiocre du groupe (vidéo/visioconférence, audioconférence), l’absence d’usage du groupe (blog, wiki). En outre, il apparaît que le groupe d’outils (chat, forum, simulation, exerciseur) à usage intensif (presque à tous les UE), sont peu efficaces, contrairement aux outils (vidéo/visioconférence, téléconférence) à usage médiocre (rare à l’UE), qui sont plutôt assez efficace. La structuration des forums a un impact significatif sur l’efficacité d’apprentissage. Les forums de type 2 (assez structurés, 3 ≥ fn < 6), présentent une forte intensité de messages référentiels cognitifs et un comportement initia tif et réactif, assez prononcé. A L’inverse, les forums de type 1 (peu structurés, fn < 3), accentuent les messages (relationnels, de régulation) et l’attitude évaluative. Il apparaît dans les dispositifs hybrides, que la performance des étudiants ne dépend pas simplement de l’usage diversifié et intensif d’outils numériques, mais aussi des facteurs d’autodétermination, motivationnels, le sentiment de compétences et la valeur ajoutée des dispositifs. L’axe 3, présente un impact significatif des dispositifs sur le développement professionnel des enseignants/tuteurs, au niveau du changement des pratiques innovantes et de leur sentiment d’engagement. Il ressort que l’engagement dépend plus de l’intention personnelle d’explorer de nouvelles méthodes pédagogiques à distance par le numérique, et non pas aux prescriptions institutionnelles, ou actions managériales, perçues comme des injonctions institutionnelles.Mots-clés : Management et organisation, Technologies numériques, Innovation et formation d’ingénieurs, flexibilité et efficacité des stratégies, impact dispositifs hybrides ou FAD/e-Learning, actes de langage, pratiques pédagogiques innovantes, développement professionnel / This research analyzes the impact of the digital technologies on the efficiency of innovation of the vocational engineer’s trainings, and the flexibility of educational devices in distance learning, as well as on the professionalization of the teacher’s university guardians. This, with regard to the models of managerial organization and educational practices of ICTS(INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES).With the glance as of results from the axis 1, it arises that, the organization devices as regard mater degree, offer the model type bimodal hybrid with an imbalance in the burden-sharing with charges activities higher as distance involved than presence. The indirect impact of managerial actions favor the flexibility of devices in terms of managing professionals constraints as regard distance geographical and the hourly adaptation, the opening to the common projects, the free choice of methods and communications tools. It accentuated the emergency of the behavioral changes, and a strong dynamics of team spirit accepting the constructive differences. In addition, from de axis 2 of search, the intensive use of the inciting digital tools and interactive tool is not enough to explain their effectiveness or performance durably in supporting quality and evolution of the device’s training. It makes emerge the difficulty in organizing, illustrating and sharing the graphic figures or symbols, in order to explain reasoning during the exchanges with (chat, audio conference, and forum).The use of simulation devices is less effective, because of the digital divide (cost access and low speed Internet, infrastructures decayed to the point). Furthermore, the level of structuring of the forums has a significant impact on the effectiveness of training. Forums of the type 2 (structured enough, 3 ≥ fn ≤ 6), presents a high intensity of cognitive/métacognitive’s messages, an initiative and reactive behavior. It is the reverse with the forums type 1 (little structured, fn ≤ 2), where the evaluative attitude and messages that are not directly related to learning are increase than others. It also appears that the performance of the students does not depend simply on the intensive use of tool of the digital tools, but of their self-determination, resulting in their feeling of new competences, the sources of motivation and the added-value of the devices to develop itself in company. It arises from axis 3 that the devices significantly impact the professional development of the teachers/tutors, with the changes of practices digital and a strong personal intention to explore new teaching practices remotely, and not of a commitment related to the managerial or institutional regulations, perceived like injunctions.Keys words: Impact of digital technologies, hybrid devices or FAD/e-Learning, training of engineers of LMD system, flexibility and effectiveness’s pedagogic, acts of language and training quality, practices innovating, professional development of trainer.

Les mathématiques dans la formation des ingénieurs et sur leur lieu de travail : études et propositions (cas de la France) / Mathematics in the training of engineers and in their workplace : study and proposals (case of France)Quéré, Pierre-Vincent 28 June 2019 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous poursuivons deux principaux objectifs : comparer l’utilisation des mathématiques par les ingénieurs sur leur lieu de travail avec la formation de mathématiques qu’ils reçoivent en France, et proposer un enseignement innovant qui pourrait permettre de rapprocher la formation des besoins révélés. Nous utilisons le cadre de la Théorie Anthropologique du Didactique et nous commençons par définir la notion de « praxéologie mathématique » pour analyser l’activité mathématique des ingénieurs dans les institutions qu’ils sont amenés à fréquenter. Nous classons en deux catégories les six types de praxéologies relevées sur le lieu de travail : praxéologies « propres » (bases, statistiques, spécifiques) et « transversales » (modélisation, raisonnement, communication). Dans la formation initiale en France, il semble que les bases et le raisonnement soient prises en charge essentiellement par le cycle préparatoire. En cycle ingénieur, les statistiques et les enseignements spécifiques sont le plus souvent proposés, mais la formation semble manquer d’applications et de connexions avec la réalité du quotidien des ingénieurs. Face à ces constats, nous proposons la mise en place, en cycle ingénieur, d’un Parcours d’Étude et de Recherche codisciplinaire en statistiques et chimie. Nous observons que la question génératrice permet aux étudiants d’avancer sur un chemin balisé tout en leur permettant de développer des échanges ainsi que leur autonomie. Ce dispositif semble placer les futurs ingénieurs dans des situations où les mathématiques jouent un rôle de premier plan, offrant une bonne approche des praxéologies professionnelles. / In this thesis, we pursue two main objectives: compare the use of mathematics by engineers in their workplace with the mathematics training they receive in France, and propose innovative teaching that could bring training closer together to the needs revealed.We use the framework of the Anthropological Theory of Didactics and we begin by defining the notion of "mathematical praxeology" to analyse the mathematical activity of engineers in the institutions they attend. We classify in two categories the six types of praxeologies identified in the workplace: "proper" praxeologies (basics, statistics, specific) and "transversal" (modelling, reasoning, communication).In initial training in France, it seems that the bases and the reasoning are mainly taught in the preparatory cycle. In the engineering cycle, statistics and specific courses are most often offered, but the training seems to lack of applications and connections with the everyday reality of engineers.Faced with these observations, we propose the establishment, in the engineering cycle, of a Study and Research Path in statistics and chemistry. We observe that the generative question allows students to advance on a signed route while allowing them to develop exchanges along with their autonomy. This device seems to place future engineers in situations where mathematics play a leading role, offering a good approach to professional praxeologies.
