Papers and Literature on Practice Schools

 

Since ChEPS' inception in 1997, many papers have been written about the practice school concepts and their impact on engineering education and student learning.  Some of these papers were presented as international conference proceedings, while others were published in prestigious internatioanl journals.

 

The following is a list of papers and publications published on ChEPS, other practice school programs at KMUTT, and Work-Integrated Learning (WIL):
