An Alternative Perspective for Malaysian Engineering Education: A Review from Year 2000-2012

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the research base of engineering education
in the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) through an analysis review of articles
for a 12-year period, from 2000 to 2012. The research base review focuses on
identifying five characteristics of engineering education: (a) temporal
distribution, (b) frequently cited authors in JEE articles, (c) research areas
involved in each article, (d) types of participant, and (e) methodological design
employed. Published journals from web-based sources were selected aligned on
the original author’s discussion of engineering education in the articles. The
findings summarize the core consistencies of engineering education literature
across the globe over the years by identifying the engineering related content
professionals addressed in their respective fields.
