Item type:Publication, Future global visions of engineering education(2011-05-02)This article presents the future global visions of engineering education. Due to the socio-technological challenges, engineering education must anticipate and adapt to dramatic changes in terms of engineering practice and instruction. In the future, the roles of engineers must change along with the following aspects: the globalization of industry and engineering practice, the shift of engineering employment from large companies to small and medium-sized companies, the growing emphasis on entrepreneurialism, the growing share of engineering employment in nontraditional, less-technical engineering work, the shift to a knowledge-based "services" economy, and increasing opportunity for using technology in the education and work of the engineering. This study found that successful attributes for the engineering education graduates in 2020 must be at strong level. They are as follows: lifelong learners, ability to frame problems, putting them in a socio-technical and operational context, dynamic/agile/resilient/flexible, high ethical standards and a strong sense of professionalism, good communication skills with multiple stakeholders, possess strong analytical skills, exhibit practical ingenuity; posses creativity, and business and management skills; leadership abilities. Moreover, the study found that the problems which engineering education graduates in 2020 encounter and have strong ability to solve. They are as follows: maintaining technical currency & life long learning, environmental and energy related problems, managing globalization, problems related to population growth, ultra-nanoscale, miniaturization, and bioengineering and medical problems. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainability awareness, attitudes and actions: A survey of pre-service teachers(2019-01-01); Murphy, ElizabethThe purpose of this study was to survey the awareness, attitudes and actions of Thai, pre-service, industrial-education teachers (N=390) regarding economic, social and environmental sustainability. Survey items were derived from learning objectives provided by UNESCO in relation to 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Research questions focused on overall results as well as analyses to determine differences based on program type and year of study. Results showed an average overall higher percentage in the categories of attitudes (90%) and action (91%) than for awareness (69%). The lowest ranked items in the categories of attitudes and action were related to SDG 5, gender equality. Pre-service teachers in year two of their program reported significantly higher levels of awareness than those in their first, third, fourth or fifth year. There were no significant differences for program type. Implications point to the value for higher education institutes, programs and instructors of identifying sustainability issues most relevant to their context in terms of culture and subject area. Results also pointed to the possibility that higher education institutions may be able to address aspects of sustainability through other initiatives (e.g., mental health awareness days) that are not necessarily branded specifically as sustainability issues. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Competence development in the electronics industry in Thailand(2011-06-01); ;Jitgarun, KalayaneeChaokumnerd, WeerachaiCompetence development is integral to human resource development. However, the lack of attention to competence standards in some countries combined with the need for skilled workers presents significant challenges for industry. The electronics industry in Thailand represents a case in point. A study of competence development in this country was conducted in order to: identify current practices related to competence development; and determine how companies provide competence development for their employees. The study included a survey of electronics industry managers at 60 companies in Bangkok and suburban areas as well as semi structured interviews and observations in five companies. Results revealed that the most commonly stated reason for respondents not working with competence development was that their organisation was not familiar with the concept (86 per cent). Only half the companies surveyed used competence instruments. Most respondents did not recognise the importance of integrating cultural differences. In terms of implications for human resource management in the companies surveyed, competency development will need to become more of a priority as will integration of intercultural competence. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Model of Engineering Education for Innovation(2018-09-17); ;Murphy, ElizabethThe purpose of this paper is to present implications of innovation for Engineering Education (EE) and research. The specific objectives are as follows: Analyze innovation policies from India, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea and the Association of South-East Nations (ASEAN): Identify common themes between policies; determine implications for EE for Innovation (EEFI); create a model of EEFI; determine implications for EEFI research. Analysis of the policies led to the identification of seven themes: prosperity, humanity, inclusivity, capacity, sustainability, inquiry, and community. These themes guided the creation of a model of EEFI. The model consists of four principal bases: learner-based; STEM + AE-based, problem-based and; project-based. Learner-based focuses on what engineers are in terms of their personal and professional competencies. STEM + AE are a reminder that engineers must be more than technicians, well-versed in STEM. Their education needs to include the arts and entrepreneurship. The problem base refers to EEFI activity being driven by complex, authentic, ill-structured challenges, problems and issues that have a social as well as a technical character. The project-base involves collaborative efforts to find answers to questions and create solutions to problems and challenges. Implications for research highlight a range of approaches to researching EEFI from quantitative surveys of perceptions of participants to complex research designs whereby engineers in training are collaboratively solving real problems in communities. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Quality, equity, inclusion and lifelong learning in pre-service teacher education(2019-12-01); Murphy, ElizabethSustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) focuses on ensuring inclusive and equitable, quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. One of the three means of implementation of SDG 4 targets is SDG 4c which calls on countries and donors to significantly increase the supply of qualified teachers in developing and underdeveloped countries. This emphasis on the supply of teachers is in recognition of the fact that the quality of education ultimately depends on teachers. In general, there is widespread agreement that teacher education has an important role to play in the achievement of the SDG 4 targets. However, there has been limited attention in the literature to SDG 4 in a context of teacher education. This paper aims to contribute to the literature on SDG 4 and teacher education. The paper first presents a conceptual framework pertaining to quality, equity, inclusion, and lifelong learning. Next, the framework is applied to the case of Thailand to identify examples of progress the country is making in support of realization of SDG 4 in teacher education. The framework with the four concepts can be applied by researchers to identify examples of progress on SDG 4 in teacher education in other countries and contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Single-input multiple-output voltage-mode shadow filter based on VDDDAs(2019-05-01) ;Huaihongthong, Pintira; ; ; This paper presents a voltage-mode shadow filter with single-input multiple-output (SIMO) configuration using voltage differencing differential difference amplifiers (VDDDAs). In this design, the low-pass and high-pass output functions of the single-input three-output second order filter are feedback via the voltage amplifier. The proposed filter consists of three VDDDAs, one grounded resistor and two grounded passive elements. The proposed filter uses grounded elements which is attractive for integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. It can simultaneously provide low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), band-pass (BP), band-reject (BR) and all-pass (AP) responses without matching condition. The proposed circuit has high input impedance. The natural frequency (ω <inf>0</inf> ) and quality factor (Q) can be independently and electronically tuned by changing the external DC bias currents. The effect of the non-ideal and parasitic elements of the VDDDA is studied and investigated. The PSpice simulation and experimental results using CMOS technology and commercially available active devices are given to confirm the workability of the proposed filter. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The role of engineering education for innovation in the 21st century(2019-01-01); Murphy, ElizabethThis conceptual paper first presents a synthesis of the central target and related concepts of five innovation policies from Asia. The paper then identifies how engineering education (EE) can help realise this target. Methods involved online, quantitative, key concept analysis combined with qualitative analysis of units of meaning. Analysis of the policies revealed that the overall target was social and economic prosperity. The prosperity is powered by a capacity for sustainability and inclusivity and by five other sub-categories of capacity as follows: human; relational; research and development; science, technology and innovation and; entrepreneurship and competitive. EE can contribute to social and economic prosperity by helping to build this capacity. Building capacity requires a shift from teaching as telling, to teaching as doing, from transmission of knowledge, to construction of knowledge, from teacher- to learner-centred learning and from didactic teaching to project- and problem-based learning situated in authentic, scientific, social and technological contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, High input impedance mixed-mode biquad filter with orthogonal tune of natural frequency and quality factor(2014-01-01) ;Chumwangwapee, Kanokrat; ; ;Jaikhang, WipobhManeewan, SuwatThis paper deals with a single-input multiple-output mixed-mode second-order filter providing two voltage-mode functions (low-pass and band-pass) and three transconductance-mode functions (low-pass, band-pass and band-reject) based on voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA). The quality factor and pole frequency can be electronically and orthogonally tuned via the bias current. The proposed circuit uses two VDTAs and two grounded capacitors without any external resistors, which is suitable to further develop into an integrated circuit. Moreover, the circuit possesses high input impedance, providing easy cascading. The PSPICE simulation results are included, verifying the key characteristics of the proposed filter. The given results agree well with the theoretical presumptions. © 2014 IEEE.
