In addition, CET program specific requirements include that graduatesbe capable of utilizing principles, hardware, and software that are appropriate to producedrawings, reports, quantity estimates, and other documents related to civil engineering. Otherrequirements call for graduates to be capable of applying basic technical concepts to thesolutions of civil problems as well as performing standard analysis and design in at least threeareas.The CET program as a whole is expected to meet the above criteria with contribution from thedifferent courses offered. Integrating GPS and the Civil 3D software into CET courses isbelieved to be a step to help achieve the above mentioned ABET

They used this evidence to argue for instructional innovations thatare generalizable rather than discipline specific, scalable rather than comprehensive, and easy toimplement rather than resource-intensive (p. 332). While Seymour25 acknowledged that evidence of improved student learning (e.g., Butler 4et al. ) is commonly considered a “necessary condition” for transfer of research-basedinstructional innovations to practice in STEM, she suggested that this evidence may not, of itself,be “sufficient” when considering the adoption

Hence, there needs to be a more structuredapproach in educational design that relates to the “writing in the disciplines” (WID) approach,wherein faculty provide students a clear, discipline-informed framework for writing that seesdisciplinary differences in writing practices through the lens of genre. In this way, students receiveinsight into genres that will likely be part of their future workplace.

The study’s purpose was to “…provide insights into the research question of whether freshman undergraduate engineering students can be more innovative than seniors.” Student teams were challenged to design a “next-generation alarm clock” and analyze the Page 26.421.7 results for “originality and technical feasibility.” Conclusion: “Freshman-level students generate designs with higher levels of originality than their

These case studies illustrate how great worksof engineering integrate scientific skills and innovations, are a product of social needs andconditions, and can symbolically manifest the individual vision of the engineers. A central focusof this course is for students to experience engineering as a creative discipline, allowing foraesthetic exploration within a set of constraints.

The motivations for their choices were examinedthrough the lens of gender differences (and similarities) while resting on the fundamentalpsychological framework provided by self-determination theory (SDT).
