The ultimategoal of the senior seminar is to prepare seniors for their careers by sharpening their employmentreadiness skills, helping them choose their career path and set career goals, enhancing theirawareness of school-to-career experiences, training them to engineer immediately upon graduation,and making them preferred candidates for jobs. It is an important class to prepare young peoplefor the next chapter in

LEED Lab provides students with an opportunity to work on real-world projectsand gain practical experience with sustainable design principles, energy efficiency, waterconservation, and other important aspects of green building. The course typically involvesworking on a specific building or project, analyzing its environmental impact, and developing aplan for achieving LEED certification. LEED Lab is often offered as a collaboration betweenuniversities and the USGBC, and it is available to students in a wide range of disciplines,including architecture, engineering, environmental science, and business (LEED Lab | U.S.Green Building Council, 2023).

Thisapproach provided librarians with deep knowledge of their liaison area’s research practices, butwas limited in tracking how students, staff, and faculty responded to this exposure [12].

In addition, engineers must cater tothree types of readers when preparing their technical documents: those who only read the text,visual readers who only look at graphs, figures and tables and the rest who read the text and thevisuals [5]. Engineering programs planning for ABET accreditation visits need to identify how to incorporate technical writing into their curriculum and develop a plan to assess the “ability tocommunicate effectively with a range of audience”.

graduate students to a flipped online format found that, whileaverage performance levels remained the same, there was an increase in performance dispersionover time.These studies show that the results of implementing a flipped classroom are varied. Whileperceptions tend to be positive, the change in learning levels varies from no effect toimprovement. In this regard, it is essential to consider the impact of various factors, includingstudent education levels (secondary, undergraduate, postgraduate), the number of studentsinvolved (a small group or a large course), and the design and appropriateness of the material(s),among others. Consequently, the results largely depend on the particularities of each situation.MethodologyThe methodology applied

among these demandsis the call for outfitting students – the future workforce – with so-called 21st-century skills [3].Most notably, these include skills of abstract thinking, critical reasoning, technicalcommunication, teamwork, lifelong learning, creativity, and leadership. A critical line ofresponse to equipping students with these skills has been pedagogical advances and instructionalinnovation at the course and curriculum levels. Student-centric, active-learning, and experientialeducational practices – such as flipped classes, project-based courses, undergraduate research,and work-integrated learning – have emerged as effective tools for supporting students’professional skill development in line with expectations of the modern workplace [4
Data and Data Science require new IT graduates to demonstrate theirmastery in data acquisition, data management, and data inference skills when they enter theworkforce (Mithun & Luo, 2020). Thus, introductory programming courses such as databaseprogramming and design represent crucial milestones in IT education, as they reflect students'ability to solve problems and design appropriate solutions (Skala & Drilk, 2018). But, for noviceprogrammers learning SQL programming and logical database design concepts is a challengingtask because while writing SQL programs, students not only have to apply theoretical conceptssuch as syntax and semantics but also practical concepts such as problem-solving at the same time,which results in cognitive

A latermeeting is used to review the project design and assess the student’s progress towardscompletion. During the final presentations I usually provide feedback on next steps based on afuture work slide.Table 2 summarizes the different milestones mapped to a 15-week semester. The expectation isthat there is about 6 weeks total for the project, with a possible 4 weeks of actual development.In practice, the actual development time varies from student to student and varies from 1 week to4 weeks. 2 weeks should be enough time for a student

In addition, many researchers and textbook authors published severalmaterials on topics and content whenever there was a new trend in the industry. In the lastdecade, the construction industry changed how stakeholders communicate using advancedtechnological innovations and virtual design and construction (VDC) tools. This includes newsoftware, cloud-sharing platforms, document management tools, advanced equipment such asVR/AR, laser scans, drones, and construction robotics.While technology and recent innovations are available for educators as a faculty version toutilize in the classroom, only recent tech-savvy graduates understand these technologicalinnovations.
