Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Education Sciences welcomes the submission of articles that highlight and shed light upon contemporary trends and challenges in engineering education. The editorial team welcome articles presenting results and discussions from pertinent research studies, theoretical frameworks for the provision of engineering education and insights and discussions in relation to experiences of contemporary curriculum design and delivery for effective engineering education. International and global perspectives on engineering education are also encouraged. Due to the recent global pandemic, engineering educators have had to pivot and adapt their delivery to create alternative “virtual” means of delivery. Articles that aim to develop solutions to the specific challenges associated with the remote delivery of engineering education, and also highlight learnings from forced remote delivery during the recent pandemic, would be a welcome addition to this Special Issue journal.
