• Resumen

  • Engineering educators may have a sincere desire to enhance student learning but be unsure how to choose from a wide array of pedagogies. The aims of this paper are to: (i) delineate situational factors that influence the risks, benefits and implementation strategies of pedagogical choices and (ii) present a systematic approach to guide educators in choosing an optimal pedagogy. Using engineering design analysis methods, this paper presents a pedagogical assessment tool that accounts for factors related to students, course, instructor and institution. This tool may be useful for designing a course, continuous improvement of curriculum and optimizing allocation of resources.
