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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the modern world of digital technologies, a new alternative consciousness has emerged. It focused on the universal values. In the digital world, companies can win over consumers by demonstrating the social orientation of their activities on the Internet. Many of them began to focus on value-oriented branding and to pay more attention to solving socially significant issues and to interact more actively with consumers, attracting them to participate in good deeds through digital group activity. The article analyzes the peculiarities of the influence of digital group activity on the management of students' loyalty to the product and to the company. As a research method, the questionnaire method was used, which allows to effectively identify the features of the influence of digital group activity on the students’ attitude towards the company. The authors describe the peculiarity of digital transformation on the development of practices for the use of group Internet promotions by Internet marketers. For the first time, the influence of digital group activity on the management of students' loyalty to the product and to the companies in general is analyzed. The reasons for the influence of digital group activity on the students’ loyalty management are proved: virality, speed of distribution, ideological orientation, breadth of audience coverage. It is revealed that a successful scenario of digital group activity, taken from life and close to the majority of the student audience, reflecting their values and intentions, causes loyalty to the company among student youth to a greater extent. It is determined that in order to effectively conduct digital group activity to form loyalty to the product and to the company, a scenario is needed that is not time-consuming for the user and does not require a large number of actions, otherwise it will not be attractive for students. It is shown for the first time that the disadvantages of digital group activity include: cost for conducting; availability only to large companies; rapid fading of interest. It is proved that the digital group activity in order to form loyalty to the product and to the company is focused on quick results. It is considered that in digital group activities students are attracted by simple rules. In the modern world of digital technologies, a new alternative consciousness has emerged.

The relevance of the research is conditioned by the fact that in the modern world, the global spread of mass communication significantly transforms the traditional systems of people interaction and communication. Publicity comes directly into contact with privacy and transforms it, which leads to a number of contradictions, including ethical ones. The aim of the research is to study the forms of openness and privacy in the Internet space, determined by the context of social networks. As a research method, we used the questionnaire method, which allows us to investigate the motivational, emotional, and behavioral aspects of social openness and privacy in social networks most effectively. The article considers aspects of the relationship between private and public spheres in the Internet space, and identifies the motives for demonstrating private life. It is revealed that modern users believe that posting reliable information about themselves is a safe process. It is determined that the virtual image often broadcasts the social success of the user; event saturation of the user's life; creation of an intellectual and spiritually developed virtual image of the user. It is shown that users primarily associate the placement of private information about themselves with feelings of anticipation and expectation of responses, likes, and comments from other users. It is determined that the presence of an undefined public is perceived as a positive side of social networks. It is revealed that there is a difference between the information that users post about themselves and their life in social networks, and the information that they present about themselves and their life in reality. For the first time, it is shown that users of social networks not only voluntarily refuse privacy, but also produce a simulation of intimacy, filter information provided to social networks. Virtual space is fixated on the production of images that are consumed as a commodity. A number of behavioral changes have been revealed in users: social approval, the desire to demonstrate the brightness and saturation of their lives are of great importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
