culminates in a design expo where students demonstrateand present their main projects for the term.There is a template syllabus provided to instructors, including learning objectives, recommendedlectures, and recommended assignments. However, individual instructors have control over thespecifics in their course, including selecting the type of preliminary projects and themes (or opentopic) for the main project.In the fall semester of 2021, a number of sections presented students with the project motivationsfrom Jump Into STEM (which included equal access to healthy indoor air, resilience in the wakeof disaster, and solving market adoption for emerging technologies). Other sections presented alocal institutional ‘climate change’ challenge to students

the design of an elevated walkway sothat park users could walk and enjoy an elevated view of the river, over the levee.In the capstone course, student teams were formed based on students’ CATME survey responses.CATME is an online survey tool developed by Purdue University. This tool optimizes studentgroups based on survey responses. The survey allowed students to identify their preferredproject, civil engineering sub-discipline of interest, and other factors. Each project was assignedto 1-2 teams, with 4-5 students per team. The teams experienced a simulated client-providerrelationship that included meeting with the project clients to hear their needs and wants for theproject, receiving feedback from the client on their midterm project

The coursewas designed to be taught in person at each of the institutions and synchronously with the partneruniversities. Since all four institutions used the same Learning Management System (LMS), eachcampus created their own course for the Fall 2020 semester and then added the shared materials.To reduce confusion, only one LMS course was created (through ASU) for the Fall 2021semester and students at the other institutions were given courtesy accounts to access the postedinformation.Each campus

To set conditions forimplementing the three pedagogies examined in this study, students were made aware of thecourse design via a two-page description in the syllabus, a question on the first homeworkassignment asking the students to describe the course in their own words, and through repeatedverbal reminders by the instructor throughout the semester.Problem-Based LearningTwo versions of problem-based learning were implemented in the course – daily homeworkproblems, and large real-world problems.Homework ProblemsHomework problems are not typically thought of as problem-based learning; however

development with the faculty we instead chose to only havelectures from experts. The faculty emphasized their desire to provide programming viaindividuals or organizations with the relevant expertise in performing research in and teachingthe material they would present to the students. As this would involve inviting faculty membersat our institution or others, this lessened the burden on the graduate students developing anextensive curriculum update. While the department was initially hesitant to devote an entiresemester to this new format, they eventually approved a proposed syllabus of seven speakers forthe semester. Finally, given the heavy course-load associated with the first-year graduate studentcurriculum in our department, it was decided that

Educators and students across the world, for the most part, havebeen working to accommodate socially distanced and virtual schools while addressing theassociated fears and concerns. For educational institutions, online synchronous meetings usingZoom or similar software platforms have replaced face-to-face teachings. The approach tohandle the teaching disruptions caused by the pandemic is somewhat similar among educationalinstitutions. The disturbance seems to be more manageable for the lecture-based courses thanthe laboratory classes. This paper is based on our experience in teaching electrical engineeringcourses. We observed several sudden changes that we contributed to this disturbance, amongthem a drop in student satisfaction

Also, a larger number of students self-funded their projects(faster part delivery times straight to their homes). The survival stage for this semester was shortsince the university required concurrent f2f and online teaching methods. This resulted in somesmall changes to the course syllabus. Pedagogical changes balancing f2f and synchronous onlinemodes were implemented delineating the adaption stage.

The forced transition to online educationdue to the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the fact that higher education students need more self-regulatedlearning (SRL) skills to engage in effective time management, prioritize their tasks, watch lectures, and completeassignments.

Theorigin of learning is rooted in the activity, which is doing something to find out about specifictopics. Active learning constitutes a natural pair in any education, especially in engineering andmanagement. Engineering and management students are trained to design and construct solutionsto problems in the real world. This paper presents the perceptions and attitudes of students whoparticipated in active learning activities of civil/environmental engineering and constructionmanagement courses in fall 2021.

Students were then asked to opt in to whethertheir submission behavior may be included in this study. Late policy groupings were made so thatevery policy was represented in every lab assignment.
