Project management learning: a comparative study between engineering students’ experiences in South Africa and the United Kingdom

Abstract

This study explores how engineering students
studying project management perceive
their learning experiences. To facilitate
an understanding of the constituent components
of engineering students’ experiences
and to understand how these experiences
influence preferred learning styles, a comparative
study of university students studying
engineering in South Africa and the
United Kingdom is conducted. The study
finds no significant demographic differences
in learning experiences across the two student
cohorts. However, the South African
cohort reports higher levels of overall experiences.
They also report higher usage of
online learning materials but lower levels
of blended learning and individual critical
evaluation skills experiences.
