In 2013, the studentswere unanimously positive about the class. Their comments included statements like “All myfriends in other classes are jealous” and “It helped me see that engineering doesn’t have to beseparate from my real life.” Their level of enthusiasm for the class was certainly higher thanstudents in previous years. For the first time since I have taught the class, people who were notin the class have come to me, sometimes months later, to talk about the ideas we discussed in theclass. The students have been

The essential aspect of industry experience is a result of the appliedscience nature of construction management education. 6 The importance is reflected not only injob postings but also in accrediting body requirements.

While it is understood that particular notions ofcurriculum structure are deeply embedded in a culture, it is argued that this embededness prevents a culturefrom reflecting on how it should respond to the explosion in knowledge that has occurred in the last century.This requires thinking outside the box about alternative curriculum structures.A model curriculum for a college engineering and technological literacy program is described. Its framework isderived from elements of an experimental program in technology education designed for the transition year

Proper testing facilities should be available to students throughout theproject so that they can learn to operate them, measure attachment points, etc. Materialsand shop facilities must also be made available if prototypes will be required. Andcertainly the projects must be carefully aligned with the desired outcomes.Third, many students struggle to accurately assess the causes for the difference betweentheir theoretical results and what they find during testing. Taking time in class to reflect onthe possible causes is important. For example, we have found that often the students dothe analysis correctly, but fail to take into

results during the conference presentation.ConclusionThe encouraging survey results have reflected a strong agreement with the main goals ofincorporation of the PBL into traditional lecture-based courses. Projects have served as bridgesto connect classroom learning and real-life applications. The implementation of hand-on projectshave made the learning of science and engineering principles more enjoyable. Through project-based learning, students are not only more confident with their understandings of the materialspresented in a course, but they are also better prepared for the upper-level engineering design andlaboratory courses.References 1.

We used this data tocreate a pre and post-score, where like/dislike of programming was measured in thebeginning and end of the course.We used this data to test four research questions about attitudes toward programming: 1) Can an inclusive, supportive environment that is catered to the non-programmer lead to improved attitudes about programming? 2) Can students with low-positive feelings (LP) increase their confidence in programming? 3) Does prior experience with programming influence the degree of attitudinal change? 4) Do specific

Analysis of best practices can improve instruction at all levels, including K-12.

Defining integrated STEM education isfurther complicated by the fact that connections can be reflected at more than one level at thesame time: in the student’s thinking or behavior, in the teacher’s instruction, in the curriculum,between and among teachers themselves, or in larger units of the education system, such as theorganization of an

Atthe small public university all of the civil and environmental engineering students worked on SL projects,but 21% still indicated that none of their courses contributed to their understanding of SR. These resultsseem to indicate that the impacts of courses on the SR of students may be more limited than instructorsintend. This may reflect a typical dichotomy between “what is taught” versus “what is learned”. It mayalso indicate that instructors should use reflective essays or in-class discussions to encouragemetacognition and thinking around how engineering can and should try to positively impact society andhelp underserved populations.26Ethics provides a counter example to the minimal impact of courses
