Information and Communication Technology and its Impact on Improving the Quality of Engineering Education Systems

Abstract

The emergence of the remarkable phenomenon of information and communication technology (ICT) in the last two decades of the twentieth century, and its integration into the formal education systems of leading countries, has expanded learning opportunities and facilitated easy access to educational resources. Due to the vast amount of information available, there is a growing emphasis on information management. This approach allows students to enhance their learning by utilizing various tools and visual aids. These tools help in teaching and training by engaging students’ different senses, making learning more realistic, practical, and enjoyable. The quality of education and the effectiveness of educational systems are among the most important concerns for educational developers, and decision-makers in any country. The areas of education is one of the fields that has undergone fundamental changes with the emergence of information technology. Information technology has been recognized as an effective tool in the learning and teaching process. In this research, we will discuss the role of ICT and its impact on enhancing the quality of education systems. The results demonstrate that ICT plays an effective role in the design, planning, implementation, learning, educational evaluation, and structure of education. This includes aspects such as timing, suitability, accuracy, adequacy, realism, speed of transmission, learning accuracy cost reduction, and educational effectiveness. Based on the aforementioned points, educational institutions must offer a suitable framework for integrating ICT into education through thorough planning.
