Abstract

Abstract— Engineering education must develop continuously to meet the demands of a technologically progressive world. Education institutions find it challenging to keep updated with the rapid technological enhancements. The technological environment has changed the way that students approach learning. This student's newfound learning approach may not be adequately addressed by traditional classroom teaching. As well traditional classroom instructions are not effectively developing students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Methods of assessment are limited and using typical examinations or tests to assess students' understanding of moral values and professional responsibilities might be difficult. All of this has an impact on students' Lifelong Learning. Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) is the incorporation of technology into the learning process in order to improve educational outcomes. By embracing TEL and utilizing different pedagogies, engineering education may successfully equip students with the skills and knowledge required to excel in the increasing technological landscape. TEL in engineering education can be improved using a variety of pedagogies. Different engineering education challenges can be addressed by using various technology-enhanced learning tools and activities in engineering courses teaching-learning process, and this paper provides insight on these tools and approaches. The paper then briefly covers their application and effectiveness. Moodle is an example of Learning Management Systems (LMS). The article discusses its application and effectiveness in the teaching-learning processes Further, problem-based learning methodologies for improving engineering education were reviewed. Puzzles, concept maps, and novel activities were adopted as active learning practices, their significance in promoting Technology-Enhanced Learning is explained in this study.
