Part 2: Preparing research proposals in engineering and STEM education
Part 3: Data analysis in engineering and STEM education research
Part 4: Publication in engineering and STEM education
A special symposium will be organized for the workshop participants to present their work and receive constructive feedback from the community of practice in engineering education.
Part 1: Introduction to Engineering and STEM Education Research
In the first part of the workshop series, the participants will be exposed to various areas and examples of research in engineering education. Using a constructivist approach, the participants will be guided to formulate their research problem, prepare research problem background and define their individual research aims. At the end of this workshop, the participants will be able to find relevant previous research that can guide them in determining the individual potential research area that they want to contribute in.
Date: 20 – 21 February 2023
Venue: Centre for Engineering Education (CEE), Level 3, Block C09, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 UTM Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Part 2: Preparing research proposal in engineering education
This second workshop aims to guide the participants in preparing their individual research proposal in engineering education as a continuation from the research problem identified in the previous workshop. The participants will be introduced to research paradigms, methodology, various research methods and some data analysis techniques. Participants are encouraged to conduct the research after the proposal is presented at the end of this workshop.
Part 3: Data analysis in engineering education research
In this workshop, participants will be guided to analyse the data that they have collected after the second workshop. Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques will be introduced with hands-on activities to further grasp the techniques. The participants will be asked to analyse their own data during the workshop so they can acquire help from the trainers and facilitators.
Part 4: Publication in engineering education
The final part of the workshop series is designed for the participants to document their research that they developed from Part 1 of the workshop series. The participants will be introduced to various journals and conferences that can become the potential avenues for them to publish their work. They will be guided to prepare their own publication based on a general flow of article writing for engineering education research. They will be exposed to the editorial processes of some high impact journals in engineering education to enable them to review their article and other articles in engineering and STEM education.

Keynote Speaker, Xavier Fouger said; “I believe that Everyone here must be familiar with PBL because we are all at WEEF, hosted by UTM which is the centre of development of PBL in Asia.”
Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor UTM, Professor Datuk Ir Dr Wahid Omar said, WEEF 2017 aims to inspire international level cooperation among participants and form a lasting community in engineering and STEM education.
Prof. Datuk Ir. Dr. Wahid Omar delivering a speech at the dinner.
“This is indeed a noble effort in bringing together experts from all over the world to gather and share novel ideas and work together in “the era of synergistic collaboration”, which is appropriately chosen as the theme of this important event.
“I am certain that this collaboration will make WEEF more vibrant and dynamic, creating more avenues to share ideas, insights and network in more effective ways towards better practice, innovative strategies, and impactful outcomes.”
He told guests at the WEEF 2017 dinner held at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel, tonight.
Present were Director-General, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education Datin Paduka Ir. Dr. Siti Hamisah Tapsir and Professor Dr. Zainuddin Abdul Manan.
Professor Wahid said, in the current challenging times and competitive environment people are facing, it is imperative that they rethink and reform their ways and approaches in preparing a future work force that is adaptable and able to compete globally.
The WEEF he said is timely held as a platform for forward-thinking participants from higher educational institutions, industries and other major stakeholders.
They come together to looking for constructive inputs and feedback in facilitating the transformation of our higher education in this challenging times.
“I am also happy to note that in conjunction with WEEF, there are various special pre and post workshops relating to 21st Century learning and industry 4.0 organised at UTM Kuala Lumpur.
“It is hoped that the workshops provide opportunities for knowledge sharing among participants towards better understanding of educational methodology, new teaching and learning strategies, improved performance and eventually best classroom practices,” he pointed out.
The Vice Chancellor said, they have made progress in addressing the educational needs, and improve student outcomes.
“But with new challenges emerging in the horizon, there is much more that needs to be done in revolutionizing education.
“They should play the role of solution providers and transformation drivers that meet the current and future needs while addressing the challenges,” he added.
He said, holistic curricula for academic programs at higher levels must be improved, taking into account the current changes and demands of the global arena, especially in effective teaching and learning.
“Research in higher education especially in Engineering and STEM education should aim to benefit society at large, and should not be left archived in journals on shelves.
“I believe that in the spirit of open discussion and collaborative efforts to solve mutual problems facing the world today, this forum will be a fruitful meeting of the minds that will ultimately lead to innovative ideas and recommendations.
“I hope that this forum will continue to be a platform to promote the paradigm shift and enhance collaboration, networking and continual exchange of ideas in a global environment to foster and enhance research in Engineering Education,” he said.
