Model to Prepare Pre-Service Teachers to Teach Engineering in K-12 (Work in Progress)Background and Motivation:Providing K-12 students with the opportunity to engage in engineering practices is critical toincrease engineering literacy, diversify the engineering workforce, and provide the skills andencouragement necessary for students to pursue careers in engineering [1]. The need to includeengineering in the K-12 classroom is also heavily emphasized in the Next Generation ScienceStandards, as well as the standards of many states [2]. Many schools are attempting to meet thesegoals both by incorporating engineering into the existing mathematics and science curriculumand developing standalone engineering courses, which were offered by 46% of high
effectively on teams that establish goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty. (SO 6)4 Program Common CurriculaABET CAC curriculum requires all computing programs to combine technical, professional, and general education components to preparestudents for a career, further study, and lifelong professional development in the computing discipline associated with the program. Thecurriculum specifies computing topics for all programs and Data Science requirements.4.1 Computing Program Curriculum RequirementsEach program must include mathematics appropriate to the discipline and at least 30 semester credit hours (or equivalent) of up-to-datecoverage of fundamental ad advanced computing topics that provide both breadth and

Computer Science and EngineeringThis proved to be a learning experience, not only for students but also for faculty and industrypartners. Every discipline of engineering uses its unique jargon. When various disciplines cametogether to work on a project, they exchanged ideas, new viewpoints were generated, and theylearned from each other. When students saw licensed professionals successfully working in theindustry, it opened doors for them to connect with them and learn from their career paths.The school of engineering plans to expand this course further as a result of this successful pilotoffering. More faculty members will be involved, and more students will be invited to register forthis inter-disciplinary capstone senior design project course

The students are not only able toanalyze electric circuits but they are able to explore electric circuit elements behavior withMATLAB and virtual simulators. Students are able to verify their hand calculations by usingthese tools and exploring results that did not meet their expectations. This approach helps thestudents develop problem solving and critical thinking skills, and prepares them for anengineering career. The virtual labs and simulation tool environments are meant to assist andenhance the student learning experience and not to replace hands-on laboratory experience. Theycan also be helpful in situations where on campus laboratories are not available.AcknowledgmentThe

This uncertainty shows the importance ofconducting research in order to benefit from industry professionals’ opinions and feedback aboutCOVID-19 impacts on construction and how it changed the future of the industry. It also providesus with an insight to be better prepared for similar unprecedented challenges in the future.Imbedding these changes in construction management and engineering program curriculum inacademia will better prepare the young professionals to achieve their career goals.A survey was conducted to collect professionals’ opinions about the COVID-19 pandemic effectson construction. The survey objectives were to measure how construction industry has beenaffected by the pandemic, and to
academic and career paths. Teaching introductory programming languagescan be a challenging task especially if students are from many different engineering disciplines[1]. Only a few students find learning programming easy and indeed it is hard for instructors toteach fundamental programming languages [2]. Students at times may not become excited aboutprogramming languages [2]. From the teaching team’s perspective, instructors focus more onteaching programming language instead of teaching the application of the programming [3].Students may not find programming courses intuitive, related to real life, or hard to engage withthe course material.During the pandemic period, the traditional face-to-face communication between students wasdisrupted
