Along with all students, women werealso found to benefit from faculty and advisors who are aware of their needs and from programsthat teach and support life management and study skills (Blaisdell, Middleton, & Anderson-Rowland, 1996).For minority engineering students, two particular findings out of Howard University warrantattention as well. The first is the negative impact of merit-based scholarships in the retention ofqualified engineering students: students who struggle in their first year drop out of engineeringmajors to protect their GPAs and maintain their scholarships, rather than pursue an engineeringcareer (Fleming

The importance of ongoing partnerships with the local municipality, regulatory agencies, and watershed advocacy organizations is emphasized as key to sustaining multiple-year off-campus projects. Qualitative assessment suggests the project was highly motivational to many students; however, a drawback is that a given class of students

For studentsthat needed additional help (e.g. regarding the order in which the components needed to beassembled or how to pick and place an object), a virtual instructor was available at all times.After assembling the simple gear train experiment, the students were asked to build differentexperimental setups, including a simple gear train with one idler gear, a simple gear train with anodd number of idler gears and a simple

The authors therefore plan to introduce the concepts of BIM and associated softwaretools at earlier stages of the curriculum.Another hurdle to be overcome, in terms of introducing any new technology at University level,is that faculty members do not always remain up-to-date with technical software applicationsused in industry. This may be alleviated with closer integration between industry and academia.Many of the institutions surveyed by the authors are keen to develop strong industry links andalready have visiting tutors and lecturers from industry, and this could extend to the teaching ofBIM processes and technologies.The authors aim to determine the most effective curriculum strategies that should be adopted

Executive Summary in the BOK2 is: “The manner in which CivilEngineering is practiced must change.”11 Recognizing the need to positively change a process, acurriculum, or even a specific course, is the essence of continuous improvement. Mapping theBOK2 outcomes to the capstone sequence was an important first step, but faculty recognized theneed to effect additional improvements.Although there is always an academic aspect to every assignment in an engineering curriculum,faculty decided that there needed to be a better academia/real world balance in the capstone.Faculty agreed that one way to strike this balance would be to revise the course deliverables tomore closely reflect actual project deliverables.
