Family friendly policies have the potential to ease tensions Page 24.1200.2associated with trying to start a family and having an academic career—tensions that areparticularly acute for women10. These policies are particularly important in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields, where women remain underrepresented asfaculty members11. While offering these types of policy may not be the only step in addressingbarriers to entry and retention in STEM fields, providing inadequate or no policy limits
history and today’s challenges available for us to freelymine and appropriate instead of being conditioned by it. In this context a humble but importantrole of western designers may be to structure the project so that such experimental methodscould be unleashed. Such method could render the existing binaries (West and non-West, pastand present, field and home) obsolete and generate instead a new forum based on commonpolitical aspirations. Fieldwork that is capable of creating such a forum could further the roles ofarchitectural and engineering education.1 Formerly Kigali Institute of Science and Technology until 3013.2 See for instance Ewing, S. et al, eds.

Most universityprofessors discourage students from engaging in plagiarism on the grounds that the practice isfraudulent and deceptive, involves the theft of intellectual property, and ‘conceals andmisrepresents the originality of the true author’ (Clough, 2003).This article is based on a study conducted in a university for the Departments of CivilEngineering, Civil Engineering Technology, Architecture and Construction Management atSPSU.

In fact, this challenge of “better alignment offaculty skill sets with those needed to deliver the desired curriculum in light of the differentlearning styles of students” has been a focus of the National Academies and Civil Engineeringfor several years [12, 13], and the use of digital technologies has been cited as holding greatpotential for pedagogical innovation.B. Enhancing the Transportation CurriculumTransportation engineering is a rich, yet challenging area to study as it has many active and inter-connected complex subsystems (e.g., drivers, vehicles

Additionally, the rapid advance of technology and incorporation intostudents’ lives at earlier ages certainly plays a role in how students may approach a paper-basedversus a computer-based test. With this in mind, it is important to gather up-to-date data onstudents with the described demographic.

We find SDR a particularly powerful tool for wireless engineering education. In thisproject, we aim to develop wireless communications experiments and projects, by exploiting thefull access to the PHY and MAC as enabled by the programmable wireless platforms. We alsoaim to expose undergraduate students to the advanced SDR technology with a hands-on Page 24.947.4approach and to train the future wireless workforce with the much needed SDR expertise.

, engineers will need something that cannot be described in a single word. In involves dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility. […] Encompassed in this theme is the imperative for engineers to be lifelong learners. They will need this not only because technology will change quickly but also because the career trajectories of engineers will take on many more directions – directions that include different parts of the world and different types of challenges and that engage different types of people and objectives. Hence, to be individually/personally successful, the engineer of 2020 will learn continuously throughout his or her career, not just about engineering but also about history, politics, business, and so forth

abilities). After this mini-lecture and subsequent discussion, “the students approachedtheir work with a renewed sense of vigor and confidence that they could do it.”51 Despite these examples of creating a climate for a growth mindset within engineeringeducation – where failures are valued as crucial feedback and part of the learning process – thereis much to be learned about how teachers perceive of failure and how they can support studentsas they fail during engineering challenges. The teacher’s role as a facilitator of the EDP – andtherefore a facilitator of failure experiences – is quite different than that of the traditional scienceteacher or the traditional technology teacher.41,52 As Fortus and colleagues said of their Design-Based
