Retaining the original designs of this major project might have helped avert thesubsequent political deterioration that spiraled into warfare.A rural development project in Rwanda that started in 1974 is another example of a missedopportunity that turned out instead to exacerbate tensions. In this case, the benefits (includingstructures, roads, and land access) were largely captured by local Hutus, excluding Tutsis. Thefinal result was judged by one Africa scholar to be “a great increase in inequality betweenregions, social classes, groups and individuals.”In two examples from Thailand, irrigation projects were constructed (in the 1950s-1970s) to winpopulation loyalty in a

A recent study hasshown that since 2000, over 95% of construction companies use PMS for control and planning oftheir daily activities11. Multiple studies show that if present companies want to compete intoday’s market, they must become adaptive and use information technology systems such asPMS7-10. There are a few PMS available for use in the construction industry and of these thereexist two favored PMS packages; Primavera and Microsoft Project7-11.

in Heidegger’s philosophy – and certainly thetechnological critique he has comes at a much needed time in our own community. Heidegger divides thought into two camps: meditative and calculative. Calculativethinking involves the sort of specialized thinking that involves planning, research, andorganizational abilities – always in reference to some known quantities or conditions. Of keyimportance to calculative thinking is the inability to stop expanding outward without meditativethought. The aforementioned quagmire of thoughtlessness, rationalization of thoughtlessness,distractions, and all related issues, directly map to meditative thought. Meditative thought inHeidegger’s world comes in multiple forms, for instance: active

The locations along the lake were chosen in order for students to see acontrast in water quality parameters along the flow of the system.The development of the field study question was adapted from previous site evaluations.Previous site evaluations had been completed prior by private engineering firms and the city’sengineers with full water quality analysis. Students were not privy to prior water quality resultsbut rather were promoted to develop a real world scenario objective to be completed throughoutthe semester. Students were given the role of “city engineer” in the project and worked as a classto develop an objective and sampling plan

Students work in small groups to accomplish a common learning goal andare encouraged to use the problem solving process of experienced decision makers: define thesituation, state the goal, generate ideas, prepare a plan, take action and check to see if the goalwas achieved.4 This type of collaborative learning activity has been shown to positively engagestudents in the classroom and emphasize the process of solving a problem, not just the end-goalof obtaining a solution.2,5,6 Even though the work is done in groups, individual

The prototypes are assigned a score of 1-5 for completeness, where 5indicates a completed prototype and 1 indicates that no prototype is likely by the end of thecourse. Testing was also rated on a 1-5 scale, where 5 indicates that prototype verification testingis complete and 1 indicates that testing was not planned or discussed.

On large campuses, some Chapters have found success in providingSTEM-specific content as a supplement to the campus-level content for all majors. The secondapproach is to partner with other organization(s). This approach has extra benefits; it exposesASEE and its mission to the members of other organizations and it can provide extra assistancefor planning and execution. For research-specific programming, some campuses have foundsuccess with ASEE-hosted STEM education poster sessions.

The number of students who enrolled as mechanical engineeringmajors was double the anticipated number and created some anxiety on resourcing the newprogram in subsequent years.As a new mechanical engineering program being offered for the first time in the fall of 2014, notall of the planned faculty has yet been hired to fulfill the needs of the program or the student’sinterests. It is critical that the current faculty communicate with the students about theconstraints facing a new program. For instance, the number of current faculty must match therequired teaching load based on the student population. Similarly, hiring faculty to oversee anddevelop one of the focus areas may not be necessary if there is little student interest or

However during the fall of 2014, it was determined that the summer 2014 implementationof the Raspberry Pi-based system was not easily maintainable or extendable. In order to addressthese concerns a redesign was proposed consisting of three components: 1) refactoring theinstrument parsing code, 2) restructuring the database schema and 3) implementing a REST APIexplained later) to provide a consistent way to access the data.

Finally, on theproblem synthesis phase, the students will complete the plan by evaluating the solution.

Rather, the design of the flipped classroom exercises must be intentional.

It also allows the observers to find out what the instructor’s plans are for the class to be observed. During this meeting, the observers explain the observation sequence, reassure the Collins Scholar of confidentiality, and provide him or her with the self-reflection instrument.

It is our goal toincrease the adoption of research-based instructional strategies in statics courses, which willincrease the success of students in earning engineering degrees. We plan to motivate this changeby providing information on the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods in statics courses,data on effective methods and environments that facilitate faculty adopting these methods andapplying them effectively, and by providing data on the importance of statics instruction tostudents’ satisfaction and knowledge of statics.
