ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore research trends in engineering education research through
bibliometric analysis. This review comprised studies indexed in the Scopus database between 2014
and 2023. In total, 6,338 articles were examined using the bibliometric analysis method. The results
revealed an increase in the number of publications in the research on engineering education from
2014 to 2023. The results also showed that most of the top-10 authors are from the USA and
slight collaborations between research groups. The results also revealed that most institutions
with the highest publications and citations are from the USA, a leading country in engineering
education research, and only three are from other countries, Denmark, Spain, and Sweden. Also,
we found that the top-three journals are the periodicals that publish articles specifically on
engineering education. The results regarding research trends revealed the existence of research
on participants’ self-efficacy beliefs, experiences, and perceptions and the effects of education
technology practices on learning outcomes and teaching methods like project-based learning and
problem-solving. Additionally, the research trends were found on design skills, decision-making,
product design practices and professional development, technology integration practices, and
teaching practices using artificial intelligence. Based on the results, we made implications for
further studies.
