Development and assessment of non-cognitive skills among engineering students: a comparison across two universities
161-182Views:19Non-cognitive skills, such as logical thinking and problem solving, are crucial for success in engineering fields. To assess these skills in undergraduate engineering students, we designed a targeted test comprising four different types of tasks. The study was conducted among students at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Debrecen, and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Informatics at the University of Miskolc. The aim of this paper is to analyze the test results, gather students’ feedback, and examine the strength of the relationships between deductive reasoning, diagrammatic reasoning, and algebraic thinking.

Online tests in Comprehensive Exams – during and after the pandemic
77-93Views:200The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the development of electronic (e-learning) assessment methods and forced their use worldwide. Many instructors and students had to familiarize themselves with the form of distance education. During and since Covid-19 in Hungary, at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Debrecen, the written part of the Comprehensive Exam in Mathematics is organized in a computer lab of the university using an online test. Our goal is that the results of the tests may be as reliable as possible in terms of measuring the students’ knowledge, and thus the grades given based on the test results would be realistic. In this paper, we show the analysis of a sample written exam and compare the real exam results of students who were prepared for the comprehensive exam during Covid-19 and who have participated in face-to-face education since then. The tools provided by the Moodle system necessary for comparison are also presented.
