Journal Scope
The SEFI Journal of Engineering Education Advancement welcomes appropriate submissions of innovations in practices, approaches, or ideas within the field, which will appeal and be useful to practitioners as well as researchers. To contribute to the advancement of engineering education, the work submitted must always be novel and original. In addition, it should be deemed relevant and applicable, stimulating, tested and suitably scholarly.
• Novel means that the journal is looking for manuscripts that makes a new contribution to the field. This may take the form of a traditional research paper, but highly innovative but transferable case studies, lesson or assessment approaches, student support methodologies are also welcome.
• Original means that the work may not be published elsewhere by the authors or others. Manuscripts based on previously published work require significant further development.
• Relevant and applicable means that papers should be interesting and useful to the readership. We are aiming in particular to attract as readers and authors those engineering academics involved in the day to day activities of teaching and learning within engineering. The Papers submitted should therefore typically support practitioners in enhancing their own practices in education in a directly practical way and by informing the underlying approaches. Authors are encouraged to supplement useful material such as teaching resources, schemes and instruments.
• Stimulating refers to the contribution to the field. Contributions demonstrate solid reflection, critical engagement, and awareness of the work and ideas of others.
• Tested and suitably scholarly means that papers must demonstrate awareness of the field and the work presented must be suitably tested and critically reviewed by the authors.
Selection Criteria
Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and will be judged against the criteria outlined in the scope. The reviewers will be drawn from a community encompassing both engineering education researchers and practitioners to ensure that both practical innovation and relevance together with adequate fundamental research underpinnings are applied.
