In SEGI College’s Engineering programmes, we aim to foster a deep, solid, and lasting understanding of engineering principles as well as the qualities and abilities required for effective engineering inquiry.
Engineering lecturers are well aware that even when they explain concepts slowly and clearly, sometimes students fail to grasp the intended meaning. The foundation of effective teaching is a solid understanding of how students learn and why they have trouble understanding what lecturers are trying to convey.
Multiple connections must be built in order to develop solid long-term learning, but sometimes it is difficult for these connections to be conveyed to students. Students must be actively engaged in the process of learning, selectively absorbing information, linking it to prior knowledge, and attempting to make sense of what they are learning. However, sometimes students misinterpret what they are being told.
SEGi College utilises effective learning technology that promotes metacognition through interactive experience, making students’ relevant prior knowledge clear, and fostering active mental struggle with both that prior knowledge and new experiences. Two examples are the EASy68K and LogixPro software used by students learning the microprocessor and programmable logic control (PLC) subjects, respectively.
