Abstract Reliable prediction of individual learning performance can facilitate timely support to students and improve the experience. In this study, two well‐known machine‐learning techniques, that is, vector machine (SVM) artificial neural network (ANN), are hybridized by teaching–learning‐based optimizer (TLBO) reliably predict student exam (fail‐pass classes final scores). For defined classification regression problems, TLBO algorithm carries out feature selection process both ANN SVM...
Purpose This study aims to explore how engineering curricula can address sustainability considerations. Through a cross-case analysis, hybrid theoretical-empirical model is developed identify and analyse broad range of possible actual responses within education. Design/methodology/approach The employs multiple-case design compare the experiences educators students engaging with topics in two contrasting tertiary civil programs. It draws on an original conceptual framework informed by...
Many approaches to make mathematics relevant first-year engineering students have been described. These include teaching practical applications, or a close collaboration between and staff on unit design teaching. In this paper, we report novel approach where gave higher year multimedia the task 'make maths relevant' for students. This is as moved away from traditional thinking that should produce these resources producing same. more recently undertaken mathematical study themselves can also...
Abstract Engineering is essential to progress towards a sustainable future. Achieving this goal supported in part by the profession's fundamental mission: address basic human needs and improve quality of life. However, analysis shows that when preparation engineers at universities focuses on traditional technical skills, such curriculum insufficient for preparing graduates tackle current global challenges, as climate change, poverty, humanitarian crisis. As with Washington Accord,...
In Australia, local government authorities play an essential role in diverting waste from landfill, including through domestic recycling. To date, the effectiveness of these recycling operations Australia has not been thoroughly investigated. This study assessed performance state Victoria a survey all 79 municipal councils. identified key challenges affecting successful management, primarily relating to contamination streams, stemming residents' inability differentiate between recyclable and...
Team work and group assessments have become very common in the higher education context with aim of enhancing communication skills student engagement. However, member accountability introduces a new challenge constraint to groups achieving their best performance. To investigate this issue, current research analyzes relationship between performance individual members composure test dependency. Towards aim, marks several units were analyzed statistically. Empirical results show that there is...
The road transportation sector in many countries is faced with the need to simultaneously address two overarching challenges; undertake effective asset management, broader develop business processes, while embracing sustainability principles.This paper presents a systematic approach for integrating principles into management practice using performance measures.The key feature of this that it moves away from traditional perspective concerned physical assets, and instead promotes holistic view...
