This paper presents a proposal for updating and expanding the teaching of technical university students concerning the subject of roofs. Through the analysis of Polish textbooks and teaching studies, a lack of information on retractable roofs was identified. As a consequence, a lecture was prepared to fill this gap and presented to students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and to teaching staff of the Silesian University of Technology. The main components of the lecture are presented in this article. Furthermore, a discussion was undertaken to analyse the possibilities of incorporating new content (in the form of supplementary material) into the currently run courses as well as into optional classes such as student workshops and optional facultative courses.

AbstractUsing a refined student feedback questionnaire (SFQ), this study examined students’ evaluation about a subject entitled “Tomorrow’s Leaders” at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) in terms of subject attributes and qualities of teaching staff. Results showed that students were satisfied with the subject (perceived learning experiences, achievement of learning objectives) and teaching of the staff member. Overall, students from Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Applied Science and Textiles showed more positive views about the subject, while less favorable SFQ ratings were observed in students of Faculty of Construction and Environment. Students’ performance in the subject was significantly predicted by their perceived teacher attributes but not subject attributes. Implications of the findings were discussed.

The objective is to analyze whether or not there is a relationship between learning, tutorials, and the values presented by the students of the Faculty of Nursing. Population: made up of 480 students. The sample was 178 students and it is non-probabilistic. Instrument, consists of 66 reagents and is divided into 4 sections, a centesimal scale is used. Cronbach's Alpha Reliability of .87. Results, are analyzed: frequencies and percentages, integrational level and all possible regressions. The ages range from 18 to 26 years, the majority are women. The learning that occurs in this is closely related to the reflection that takes place, strengthening in the subject values such as friendship, happiness and trust, improving in the same way personal growth and the development of skills, intelligence is another of the learning values that are improved in the subject when we link it with the tutorials and their tutors. What is intended with the results is to bring together managers and teaching staff and show the results so that relevant decisions are made, especially that it is given the relevance that this program has and the benefit that students obtain by providing them.

Static analysis of building structures is an important engineering discipline. The presented paper deals with the teaching process of the slope-deflection method in the subject Static Analysis of Constructions at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University in Košice. The slope-deflection method is the method for the analysis of statically indeterminate structures and serves to obtain their inner forces and deformations. For purpose of teaching this subject, teachers prepared programs in the Fortran code and with the help of the output of decisive values obtained from the programs. Teachers know if students have correct solutions of their tasks and can guide students to work to correct mistakes in their work.

The Subject

Alec Westley Skempton is widely regarded as having been one of the leading developers of the subject of soil mechanics. In Britain he was pre-eminent in the subject throughout his professional life, while on the world stage he was outshone only by the founding father of the subject, Karl Terzaghi, who was some 30 years his senior. Soil mechanics was virtually non-existent as an engineering discipline at the time of Skempton's own engineering education in the 1930s, but long before he retired in 1981, as Professor of Civil Engineering at Imperial College, London, the subject was, along with structural and hydraulic engineering, one of the three main branches of civil engineering.

Writing Task

The study aimed at investigating the learning techniques and the writing processes adopted by EFL university students in a writing task. A total of sixty senior university EFL students at Tafila Technical University, 30 males and 30 females, participated in the study out of 120 students who form the subject of the study. The instrument of the study was actually a writing task given to the sample of the study. After collecting the data and analyzing it, results showed that EFL university students at Tafila Technical University have adopted learning techniques while practicing the argumentative writing task, but in a rather low percentage where the highest mean was 0.75 for the metacognitive techniques. It was also found that there were no statistically significant differences in using the learning techniques due to the gender, except for the effective techniques which were in favor of females over males. Results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the writing skills adopted due to the gender since all students males and females used similar writing skills to finish the writing task. It was also found that there was no statistically significant differences in the writing skills used attributed to the students’ proficiency, except for the nature of revision in which the proficient and less proficient students implemented while finishing the writing task.
