Civil & Environmental Engineering. His work contains a unique blend of engineering education and civil engineering projects. Dr. Perry’s current work centers on understanding how students transfer their knowledge between engi- neering school and work. This is supplemented by his role in developing assessment techniques for two NSF-funded projects focused on the incorporation of virtual and mixed reality technology into civil engi- neering education. In addition, his past civil engineering research investigated the behavior of wood shear wall structures under seismic loading conditions. Dr. Perry’s expertise in both the engineering education and civil engineering domains provide him with a unique skillset that

Pre-labshelp students prepare for in-the-lab brainstorming. The in-the-lab work includes watching avideo of the lab components, brainstorming the solutions, watching the lab video conducted bythe faculty, and doing a group analysis of the results. The learning outcomes intended for theonline labs are the same as in-person labs. Occasionally, a few minutes are allocated forreflection during lab periods aimed at increasing inclusion and a sense of belonging for allstudents.The one offering of the online labs is compared to two offerings of in-person labs, one precedingand

Many adaptations were made during the pandemic to allow students to effectively work onchemical engineering capstone projects as part of a team, such as focusing on design tasks usingsimulation tools (e.g. ASPEN) and managing group meetings through video conferencing software(e.g. Google Meet) [22].

Students from civil engineering, computerscience, electrical engineering, engineering innovation and leadership, industrial engineering,metallurgical and materials engineering, and mechanical engineering enrolled in 1301 andparticipated in the program. Additionally, three sections (approximately 80 students) of 1301were offered during the fall semester. During the spring semester, one section of 1301 and onesection of 1402 (approximately 62 students combined) were offered. Enrollment in 1402 wasonly available to students whose declared major was in the piloting

Sociotechnical thinking inengineering is discussed using a range of lenses and approaches within engineering education, andI will attempt to synthesize some of the cutting-edge research.One major effort has been out of the Colorado School of Mines. Here, researchers explored a widerange of factors related to sociotechnical thinking in undergraduate engineering programs. Theyexamined the perceptions and experiences of both students and faculty regarding sociotechnicalintegration and its impact on sociotechnical habits of mind [2], [12]–[14]. This work wasconducted across a range of engineering curricular settings which included design as well asengineering science courses. One of their major research projects entails exploring student andfaculty
visual study tools ratherthan traditional reading-writing methods.It is important to consider that through the application of different teaching methods theknowledge can be further approached. In architecture, it is necessary to make relationsbetween theoretical aspects and concepts with much more practical and technicalapplications. Thus, the requirement of having a broad comprehension of topics and therelations between them is fundamental. Through mind maps, graphic relations can be madebetween the several topics covered on a course. Visual tools can help “clarify the relationshipbetween material objects and concepts to understand” [3].

Curriculum coherence is critical for building students’ abilities to engage inthree-dimensional instruction to explain phenomena and solve problems [25]. One way to buildcoherent curriculum materials is through Project-Based Learning (PBL), which focusesinstruction on a problem to solve or question to investigate. PBL is predicated upon astudent-centered learning environment and has been shown to increase science and mathlearning, even among students from historically underrepresented groups [26]. SCoPE is a PBLunit that requires students to apply ideas

Studentsare free to choose similar topics that are not listed.As with the WWII course, the assignments follow the topics discussed during the EngineeringGraphics course. Being an engineering course, the context of these assignments is different.Engineering Graphics teaches students how to create, display, and interpret designs withinstandard engineering contexts, particularly in orthographic projections and detailed drawings.The overarching purpose and intent of Engineering Graphics are to communicate ideas anddesigns graphically. The problem-solving assignments provide students with a written means todo this. While not being related to a specific time period like WWII, the

The reflective final project thatthey complete once they return reinforces the awareness and skills that are a link betweenclassroom theory and concepts and real-time impacts.Through a continuous improvement feedback model, this paper also seeks to identify the rangeof content that can be refined and leveraged for various locations. Quantitative results indicatethat global/cultural skills are relevant immediately, requiring little reinforcement from othercourses. This study provides a baseline of data and

Lab 5, which is optional, shows how to create a Vivado project to generate a bitfiletargeted to the Artix7 FPGA and the peripherals on the Nexys A7-100T board. This is necessarywhen users wish to extend the RVfpga SoC and test it in hardware, which requires a newlygenerated bitfile. Again, Lab 5 is optional because all labs, including system extension, can becompleted in simulation only.

the teaching of engineering ethics. Despite use of de-sign iteration and trial-and-error in engineering practice and projects, engineering instructionbroadly does not seem to leave much room for failure as part of the learning experience. Inclasses, students can be instructed only on how to find the right answer, and then be pun-ished, through low marks or exclusion from opportunities, for failure. Even in classes thatcultivate intuition, innovation and creativity, there is usually a right answer and thus a spe-cific, predetermined pathway to success that, unlike Elden Ring, does not repeatedly endurefailure. This may be a practical position for more introductory, knowledge and theory basedcourses (although still debatable), but one area that
