Lastly, the authors present their plan toassess the demonstrator’s effectiveness in helping students achieve identified learning objectives.IntroductionCivil engineers are responsible for designing the infrastructure society requires. The largeinvestments on civil works projects made by local, state, and national governments requiretrained professionals who understand the interdependencies between various sectors ofinfrastructure and how nearly every facet of society depends upon the built environment. Prior to2008, civil engineering educators discovered a major void in curriculum as few, if any
well prepared to build and maintain PLCbased systems in industry. Some 4-year schools teach PLCs in their Engineering Technology andEngineering programs. Students that graduate from these programs are able to move into systemdesign and planning roles. Students that learn to design and implement PLC-based systems areeasily employed in some of the highest-paying jobs.PLC courses normally include laboratory and/or project components. Students learn to usehardware and software from a particular vendor. While PLC vendors often offer generousdiscounts for education, the cost to outfit a laboratory is still very high. And, licensing limitationsoften prevent students from installing software on their own computers.The OpenPLC open source PLC software

Academic institutionsrequire vision, planning, and time and budget allocation to achieve these objectives. Students arerequired to produce solutions to meet the specific consideration. For that reason, practicalexperience in engineering principles is the key to enhancing student knowledge in engineeringeducation.Virtual reality (VR) technology can be implemented to simulate the real

The National Strategy Plan (2020-2025) developed for the National Academies ofScience (NAS) has a cultural component in the three main goals of this plan [15]. The NASrecommends "Address[ing] critical societal and global issues; Improve[ing] public understandingand appreciation of science and the scientific method; Improve[ing] the culture and practice ofscience" [15, pg. 3-9].

However, we know very little about how CRP inengineering education is taken up in the literature, with whom the work is being conducted, andhow
Taiwan there are notsufficient instructors who are trained and motivated. These inadequate course designs andsystematic limitations lead to a lack of understanding of the relationship between technologyand society and a lack of systematic thinking among science and engineering students. Thissituation limits students’ ability to think about their professional skills, future employment,ethical responsibilities, and other issues in a global context.1Cultivating “global competency” in a divided worldWe also witnessed an educational reform in engineering education curriculum worldwide.

The general engineeringprogram has encountered significant and ongoing enrollment growth, more than doubling in sizewhile continuing to use the same room dedicated almost 30 years ago. New universitydevelopment plans are expected to increase enrollment further, and necessitate changes inpreparation for a new planned dedicated space. The home department actively and continuouslyseeks to improve the first-year curriculum, and the leadership of the space must engage in thosediscussions and be able to adapt. Additionally, the challenges associated with COVID-19 andsubsequent ongoing supply chain issues have created the need for multiple process adjustments.In response to these challenges and

What must beconsidered with this study is the documentation on the organization of the lab to for successfulimplementation to achieve student success and satisfaction. Across many strict civil engineeringprograms, the concepts of making, curing, and testing concrete are very well grounded withintheir engineering discipline. However, professional construction managers often need to possessknowledge in estimating, scheduling, planning, quality management, safety planning,engineering, and business management. As for civil engineers, much of the educational approachfor civil engineering is to focus on the engineering

Overall, the surveyresults indicated that the students who participated in competitions consistently rated themselveshigher for all the different skills measured in the survey than non-participating students. Severalideas regarding enhancing the participation of students in the competition was also received.Houston [2] incorporated concrete canoe and steel bridge planning into a constructionmanagement course. Students were divided into two competition teams, namely, Concrete Canoeand Steel Bridge, based on their area of interest. Then, two teams were asked to formulate a planthroughout 15-week term working project. It was reported that students who
the traditional faculty advising role. These staffmembers provide guidance on study plans, pre-requisites, and other logistical degreerequirements to help facilitate graduation, but often do not develop deep human relationshipswith students the way a faculty-advisor relationship can develop [18]. A recent study by Gauleand Piacentini [19] found that female Ph.D. students in chemistry paired with female advisorswere both more productive and more likely to become faculty themselves. This seems to be aninteresting strategy to combat the under-representation of women in science and engineering andbreak the cycle of attrition of female students. The researcher has plans to pilot the genderpairing of advisors for the Fall 2023 cohort of

Dashedlines show median scores.Students in the intervention offering were given low-stakes opportunities to practice both theactual skills (e.g., prototyping focused on answering a driver question with a plan to test and 9report findings based on pre-determined metrics for success) and the skill of documenting theirprocess and representing their findings.For example, in the first week of the house project, the midterm project of the interventionoffering, students were asked to document their process when prototyping laser-cut, friction-fitwalls as part of their

One of these three courses is the Professional Planning with Spatial Visualization coursewhich implements the Sorby’s Developing Spatial Thinking curriculum. This paper addresses thequestion: What are the effects of the spatial thinking curriculum on the spatial abilities of low-income sophomore summer scholars?Students take the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) and theRevised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (RMPFBT) as a pre- and post-assessment for thisprogram. The PSVT:R is traditionally administered as a pre/post assessment of spatialvisualization in engineering majors. In this work, it was chosen to assess knowledge

Translating the ethicaldimensions to questions allows instructors to more easily think through the tool, since the timeinvolved in course planning is often a limiting factor to whether an instructor successfullyintegrates new ideas into their classroom practice.Using the toolIn the course of either creating or revising a course, an instructor can work through the eightdimensions, considering the questions and the examples provided to find ideas for their owncourses. Not every course will incorporate all eight dimensions. An initial goal of one or twochanges is a

The peer-mentors were chosen from a group of students who completed a pilot versionof the SS Program the previous year. Weekly meetings between the peer mentors and theinstructors of the math and engineering courses were used to plan the following week’s SIsessions according to need. Common session types included: ● HW - Informal open-ended sessions where students met on one floor at the University Library designed for study groups. Peer mentors were in the room to answer questions and guide the SS students when needed, but did not actively lead content

Open-ended questions were used tosolicit unbiased feedback from the students on their class learning experience and team dynamics.The authors are currently working on developing rubrics to assess the six learning outcomesidentified for this course.
