W-05 A Trial Utilization of Weekly Report for Evaluating Global Competencies in Industry-Academia PBL-type COIL

Abstract

In the context of rapid technological innovation and globalization, engineering education has been focused on global competencies to foster students who can solve multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary problems in the global society. In particular, after the COVID-19 pandemic, global project-based learning (PBL) to enhance global competencies has been conducted online with a pedagogy of collaborative online international learning (COIL) with industry-academia collaboration. A current challenge is the evaluation of global competencies in COIL. This study focuses on a weekly report system as an evaluation tool for global competencies in engineering education. Hence, this study aims to examine the weekly report system, as a trial utilization, which was applied to an industry-academia PBL-type COIL program conducted by the Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University in the winter of 2021. Consequently, the usefulness of the tool was demonstrated and future challenges were discussed.
