| description | This study investigated the impact of the e-learning system on engineering education in Jordan. It employs a multifaceted approach utilizing a structured survey to collect engineering students’ and academics’ experiences and viewpoints. The primary focus is to analyze the difficulties and consequences of shifting to e-learning learning, understand their impact from both academic and practical standpoints, and formulate measures to improve the education system. The analysis included demographics, challenge identification, interrelationship examination, and strategic initiative development, with the data analyzed using a quantitative method of Partial Least Squares- Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate varied effects of e-learning across demographics and underscore that the most impactful challenges of e-learning in engineering education across various demographics are identified as a deficiency in productivity, inadequate online teaching tools, lack of in-person interaction, health concerns due to screen exposure, and deficiency in motivation. Conversely, the least impactful challenges are limited internet connectivity, outdated curriculum structures, financial barriers, a shortage of technological facilities, and ignorance of students ‘ diverse levels and abilities. Finally, this study highlights the interconnected nature of these challenges and the necessity of holistic solutions by developing a powerful strategy to achieve a sustainable environment for the e-learning system at educational institutions in Jordan. |
