The Role of Collaborative Reflection on Shaping Engineering Faculty Teaching Approaches

Over the last several years, engineering faculty and learning scientists from four universities worked in collaboration to develop educational materials to improve the quality of faculty teaching and student learning. Guided by the How People Learn (HPL) framework, engineering faculty worked in collaboration with learning scientists to develop learner‐centered, student‐focused instructional methods. In consultation with learning scientists, engineering faculty carried out educational inquiry in their classrooms aimed at investigating student learning and enhancing instruction. In this paper we discuss the extent to which faculty engaged in these collaborative endeavors and how their teaching approaches differed as a result of their level of engagement. Study findings reveal the role that collaborative reflection plays in shaping teaching approaches. Results from this study provide insights for researchers and other practitioners in engineering and higher education interested in implementing engineering faculty development programs to optimize the impact on teaching.

The Relationships between Students' Conceptions of Learning Engineering and their Preferences for Classroom and Laboratory Learning Environments

This study developed a survey entitled Conceptions of Learning Engineering (CLE), to elicit undergraduate engineering students' conceptions of learning engineering. The reliability and validity of the CLE survey were confirmed through a factor analysis of 321 responses of undergraduate students majoring in electrical engineering. A series of ANOVA analyses revealed that students who preferred a classroom setting tended to conceptualize learning engineering as “testing” and “calculating and practicing,” whereas students who preferred a laboratory setting expressed conceptions of learning engineering as “increasing one's knowledge,” “applying,” “understanding,” and “seeing in a new way.” A further analysis of student essays suggested that learning environments which are student‐centered, peer‐interactive, and teacher‐facilitated help engineering students develop more fruitful conceptions of learning engineering.     

基于人因工程的施工人员安全教育效果优化研究

以人为本地开展施工企业的安全教育工作,针对施工企业施工人员安全教育的现状,从人因工程的角度探究改善安全教育效果不佳的措施。统计工作人员在接受安全教育后15 d内产生不安全行为的类别及次数,并对记录的实验数据进行分析处理,确定保护他人安全意识及规范习惯性不安全行为的安全教育效果不佳。利用得出的结论对工人进行反馈调查,结果表明问题产生的原因主要是人际关系和有针对性的安全操作技术培训强度不够。结合人因工程理论的作业活动分解理论,从安全教育培训方式、工人接受意愿和安全教育效果的保持性等方面提出了相应的改善措施,为施工企业提升施工人员安全教育培训效果提供了新途径。     

我国建筑工程质量成本管理现状的调研

统计资料和问卷调查定量表明,我国建筑工程质量管理受到日益广泛的关注,工程质量总体水平大幅提高.然而,行业内人士对质量管理的经济性认识普遍较低.调查结果统计分析还揭示了各种承包方式中,施工总承包对质量成本影响最大,代建制模式下返工成本最高,而建设各阶段对质量成本的影响无显著性差异.尽管目前对质量成本作全面统计、核算的建筑企业几乎没有,但调查结果却反映出了质量成本管理的必要性和潜在需求.     

Growing scientific collaboration between Hong Kong and Mainland China since the handover: a 20-year bibliometric analysis

The handover of Hong Kong launched a new era for Hong Kong and Mainland China, featuring an increasingly closer relationship. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance and dynamics of scientific collaboration between Hong Kong and Mainland China over the past 20 years since the handover. Bibliometric analysis of scientific output, research area distribution, document type and collaborative mainland province were conducted based on publication data from the science citation index expanded database. The results showed that the number of HK-Mainland collaborative publications grew rapidly, contributing to the scientific output of Hong Kong, with the percentage share increasing to more than half in 2016. Research area analysis suggested the occurrence of gradually deepening and widespread communication between Hong Kong and Mainland China. Of fifty research areas in Hong Kong, more than half of scientific publications were completed via collaboration with the mainland in 2017. The mainland provinces that collaborated with Hong Kong showed a widening geographic scope and a simultaneous increase in collaborative activity. A distribution of Guangdong Province and Beijing as the two most active hotspots with a dozen active spots across the mainland was gradually formed. The collaborative activity of Guangdong Province has exceeded that of Beijing since 2011, while that of Guangzhou and Shenzhen increased linearly and exponentially respectively, and contributed at least 70% to Guangdong Province every year. The relationship between Hong Kong and Mainland China in science and technology has become closer than ever before.
