FOSTERING COLLABORATION IN ENGINEERING DESIGN EDUCATION

Multi-User Virtual Environments Fostering Collaboration in Formal Education

This paper is about how serious games based on MUVEs in formal education can foster collaboration. More specifically, it is about a large case-study with four different programs which took place from 2002 to 2009 and involved more than 9,000 students, aged between 12 and 18, from various nations (18 European countries, Israel and the USA). These programs proved highly effective into fostering a...

Collaboration and Resource Sharing in Engineering Education

In present day’s world of globalisation, institutions are not only fostering the formation of graduates able to operate in one location or country but desires to produce the global engineer equipped with the right knowledge and skills able to operate in any part of the world. A lot of online resources have been developed and are made freely available on the World Wide Web (web). Some of these h...

Secure Collaboration in Engineering Systems Design

The goal in this paper is to enable collaboration in the co-design of engineering artifacts when participants are reluctant to share their design-related confidential and proprietary information with other co-designers, even though such information is needed to analyze and validate the overall design. We demonstrate the viability of codesign by multiple entities who view the parameters of their...
