The virtual sandbox application is an interactive computer program developed using the Unity 3D game engine, gearedtowards teaching complex earth-science concepts. The current prototype allows generation of automatic contour maps, overlayedon the terrain model and it is integrated into a learning exercise for students in Civil Engineering to understand the orientation ofa planar structure using the 3-Point Problem approach. This exercise has been traditionally delivered using pen and paper, aidedwith physical 3D models and now it is possible to visualize the problem

of STEM doctoral learning. Bancroft [10] developed the concept ofCritical Capital Theory describing it as an “integration of critical race theory, forms of capital,and fictive kinship” which speaks to the “shifted but enduring nature of racism within the U.S.”.Forms of capital that are valued and honored often reify the status quo and support whitesupremacist ideology which is decidedly anti-Black.Bancroft’s [10] theorized that the low rate of STEM doctoral graduates and professionals was afunction of Critical Capital Theory, suggesting that the low rate “was not an aberration, butrather a product of a system of oppression designed to advantage the economic needs of Whiteelites in the U.S.”. Race is a stable predicator in this formulation in

The goalof the game is to design a control system that compensates for the unwieldy paddle dynamics andrestores normal functionality of the game. Using this game, students approach learningobjectives in an enjoyable way that promotes knowledge transfer. While we have yet toimplement this game in the classroom, the goal is to integrate the game throughout the durationof a semester as a series of interactive projects that we outline in this paper.

Credit-bearing internships are highly structured WBL experiencesoffered by community colleges as a component of degree completion. Internships are designedto meet educational requirements established by the community college and are supervised by afaculty member in a credit-bearing course. They may be required for graduation or be anelective, be paid or unpaid, and typically mandate that students have earned enough creditstowards the degree and a high enough GPA to participate.

Engineering StudentsAbstractThis research paper presents an interdisciplinary project setting for first-year engineeringstudents. A theoretical frame of reference is suggested to support curriculum design forinterdisciplinary competences in engineering education. Empirically, the study draws on insightsfrom a narrow interdisciplinary curriculum project named “leadENG”. Besides being significanton its own in terms of learning outcomes within faculty borders, the leadENG project is intendedto act as a bridge-building project to prepare students for broader cross-faculty projects. Thisstudy follows a second semester cluster of groups from energy and materials and production, allworking together on the creation of a

The modules, to the extent possible, integratedthe material on conflict resolution as integral parts of team-projects already assigned in the courses.The modules’ key elements comprised: • Lecture: Purposes and importance of active listening, types of conflict (task, relationship, and process), destructive and constructive conflict, and the five modes of dealing with conflict (collaborating, compromising, competing, accommodating, and avoiding). • Activity

Mini-projects have the potential to facilitate deeper understanding of course content,make the curriculum more relevant for students, and help build connections between classroomand professional learning competencies. To ensure quality of learning, mini-project-basedteaching and learning activities must be aligned with, and supported by, authentic assessmentactivities. The successful integration of project-based learning with traditional course aspects(e.g., quizzes) enables a course to be transformed into a series of engaging learning experiences.Future WorkFuture investigation
