Engineering Education.Dr. Nicole Lowman, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York Nicole Lowman is an Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Engineering Education at the University at Buffalo, where they primarily teach technical communication to engineering and computer science undergraduates. Their courses center community-engagement and local justice by grounding writing and communication projects in non-profit organizations in the city of Buffalo. Their research is primarily concerned with rhetorics of race and critical race theory, and their scholarship has been published by Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric and The New Americanist.Kate Haq, University at Buffalo, The State University of New

Although the clang compiler has a shorter history than GCC, it has areputation for providing compiler output and better diagnostics[10], [11]. In addition, as an entirecompiler infrastructure, there are many tools built with clang as a basis, as we’ll see in section .However, recent versions of both compilers have mostly caught up with each other, either optionworks well.To install these compilers, MacOS and Linux users can use a package manager (such as Homebrewor apt/dnf) to easily install either of the two compilers.Under Windows, which is used by the many students as their personal computer, this picture is morecomplicated. One path students can use is to use
through project or problem-basedlearning (PBL). Most of this section of the rubric draws from the “Ensuring Equity in PBLReflection Tool”[14]. This part of the rubric examines the degree to which students are allowedto exert agency and participate in team-learning environments that reflect real-world contextsand social impacts. The rubric encourages activities that engage every student, ensuring that alleducational experiences are hands-on and relevant to students' lived experiences andsocioeconomic backgrounds.Each of these sections contains specific items, totaling 27, which describe behaviors andpractices ranging from those that perpetuate inequity to those that foster an inclusive atmosphere.For example, under the "Head" section, item 1

Sustainabilitykey performance indicators (KPIs) are crucial metrics for measuring and tracking sustainabilityperformance [12].Sustainability KPIs must consider the three dimensions of the triple bottom line to effectivelymonitor and evaluate the sustainability performance of construction projects. Environmentalsustainability involves (1) resource efficiency and waste management, including reducing theconsumption of natural resources and waste production, along with the reuse and recycle ofmaterials, as well as considering material sustainability; (2) energy efficiency, which involvesreducing energy use and incentivizing the use of renewable energy; (3) water management; (4)reducing GHG emissions as well as air, water, and
, experiential learning, collaborativeenvironments, and real-world applications. Notably, current AI education platforms lack sufficientfocus on these areas. While efforts are being taken to address these issues, more adult educationprograms need to be specifically designed for the training needs of leadership in AI.This research investigates the efficacy and outcomes of an AI education workshop, uniquelydesigned for large scale organization leaders, employing hands-on projects, collaborativelearning, and problem-solving scenarios grounded in real-world applications, that considerstechnical, ethical, policy and organizational culture dimensions. The workshop incorporatesexperiential learning methods, case studies, problem-based learning, and group
active session of MATLAB was projected to the front of the classduring each lecture. This projection of MATLAB was used to actively teach students the coursematerial in real time. After specific content was discussed, a “lecture coursework” topic wasunlocked on the LMS, and in-class time was allocated so students could work through severalMATLAB Grader problems. Students were allowed to submit their MATLAB Grader problemsan infinite number of times and they were due at the start of the next class period. This affordedstudents the ability to engage in the course material immediately after it was presented to themand ask questions as they arose while still providing adequate time to complete should thestudent need it. In this manner, there were a

Hepositioned design as a third triad of knowledge, alongside the humanities and the sciences,contributing significantly to the development of current design theory and practices.By the late 1950s, there was a recognition that engineering graduates were facing challenges inexecuting design projects [21]. In 1959, mechanical engineering professor John Arnolddeveloped seminar engineering courses at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and StanfordUniversity titled ‘Creative Engineering’ [48]. These engineering courses focused on thephilosophy of engineering design, emphasizing the creative potential in design engineers [49],[50]. They present a

They play an important role in the process of national engineering educationmoving towards practice and engineering technology transforming towards innovation. Toachieve the transformation of engineering education, it is necessary to break the phenomenonof "engineering only", break down the barriers between humanities and social sciences andscience and technology, and cultivate innovative and composite engineers who can adapt topractical needs. In 2016, China became a formal signatory to the Washington Accord and thesolid promotion of the New Engineering Project provided an important opportunity for Chinato move towards becoming a strong engineering education country [2].

The interviewssuggested three main ways that assessment practices may reduce confidence and undercutlearning of underrepresented engineering students. Here, the terms assessment and reportingpractices do not refer to a specific type of assessment practice. Rather, the researchers focused onusing qualitative methods to understand how students felt about assessment and the way theyreceive feedback (eg. tests, letter grades, class statistics, hands-on projects) in broad terms tobetter inform future research studies.Engineering schools are increasingly trying to increase diversity and improve retention ofstudents from underrepresented

Students that participate in community-engaged learningoften benefit from a number of additional learning opportunities, including increased criticalthinking and intercultural skills, increased communication skills, ability to engage with a varietyof stakeholders during the design process, identifying unmet user needs, integrating informationfrom many sources to gain insight and assessing and managing risk.

By adapting a strategyframework for curriculum change, this study lays the groundwork for future researchinto the integration and effectiveness of design thinking within engineering education.1. INTRODUCTIONEngineering education is on the cusp of a paradigm shift towards a student-centered,flexible curriculum, personalized learning environments, and the transformation oflearning experiences into capabilities for students [1, 2]. Project-Based Learning(PBL) is often heralded as a model for future curricula [3]. Within this evolvinglandscape, the integration of design thinking into engineering education presents acomplex terrain filled with notable achievements and areas ripe for further

academia. On-the-jobinformation needs move at a more rapid pace and employers provide less specific guidance thanacademic instructors, making it difficult for new university graduates to solve informationproblems [1]. For engineering and technology students, workplace information use involves lessof the sources that are traditionally emphasized in academia (e.g., peer reviewed journal articles,books) and more of the resources heavily relied upon in industry, such as technical standards [2],[3], [4], [5]. Additionally, workplace projects require a high degree of interpersonal informationgathering and communication with colleagues [6], [7].Recent research from American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) indicatesthat employers view

engineering education, CBE provides a transition from universityto industry. Many parallels exist between CBE and industry practices, in particular thosesurrounding design-based concepts. In industry, new-product development (NPD) requiresattention to detail at the individual project, business, and systems level to create a successfulproduct launch [2], whereas university engineering design courses tend to focus on the individualproject level. Cooper’s [2] NPD success drivers often reflect the type of skills that are a focus inCBE. For individual new-product projects, overlapping concepts include voice-of-the-customer,pre-work, definition, and iterations. Building in the voice-of-the-customer may involve marketresearch for businesses, whereas
