we share some of the quotes we heard from the students: “I am still very cognizant of my accent. I always fear that I make grammatical mistakes as I talk. Like very often I make the mistake of using a plural verb for a singular noun. It’s hard. It doesn’t come naturally to me. I know it might be a small mistake, but I have that in my mind all the time. When I talk, I constantly remind myself to check my verbs - did I use that little ‘s’ at the end of the verb or not?. I fear what if I don’t get it correct during the presentations. Are reviewers going to doubt my capabilities? I am more confident in front of my advisor or others who believe I know my work and I am good at it. But when it comes

Overall, findings helped reveal how the components of engineering identity andleadership identity converge in the development of an engineering leadership identity amongundergraduate students.IntroductionThere are many reasons that developing leadership skills in undergraduate engineering studentsis important. Chief among these is that many of the greatest challenges facing society today, suchas the NAE Grand

With the help of hi-powered computers, these algorithmic self-trainingtechnologies can process large amounts of data and recognize patterns. Adoption of these willresult in a new set of Tools Techniques and Procedures (TTPs)s for better PM performance wellbeyond what is currently being used. Figure 1.

contract deliveryeducation.The findings of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on contract delivery ofconstruction projects by highlighting the significance of education for the evolution and adoptionof advanced methods in contract delivery of complex infrastructure projects. Although theintegration of ATC for contract delivery may address the shortcomings of different projectdelivery methods, it is not widely promoted, and many construction stakeholders are completelyunaware of such concepts. Therefore, the integration of such concepts in the constructionmanagement curriculum may extensively improve project delivery with the greatest potential forwide acceptance of this method in the future.References[1] A.

The presentation is to give an overview of the company and their business, thetype(s) of engineers they employ, and what roles those engineers have.

Prerequisite knowledge provides students witha strong foundation on which to build on and connect to upper-level courses. Theresearch by Efimba and Smith [3] explored the problem of unreadiness and the need tostrengthen students’ prerequisite knowledge. The research posits that studentunreadiness may result from the following reasons.1. Taking a course out of sequence and, therefore, do not have the prerequisites.2. Performed poorly or just barely passed the prerequisite course(s).3. Performed well but have forgotten most of what they learned in the
