, University of PittsburghProf. Kristen Parrish, Arizona State University Kristen Parrish is an Assistant Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environ- ment at Arizona State University (ASU). Kristen’s work focuses on integrating energy efficiency measures into building design, construction, and operations processes. Specifically, she is interested in novel design processes that financially and technically facilitate energy-efficient buildings. Her work also explores how principles of lean manufacturing facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and

In addition, only a few faculty membersaccept the value and legitimacy of online education13. To address this issue on academic integrityin online education, the WCET developed, in 2009, a statement of best practice strategies topromote academic integrity in online education.

This 1986 conference developed an inclusive curriculum that beganas distinct women’s studies and evolved into curricular integration of race, ethnicity, class andgender, introducing both content and methods. By 1996, the project grew to involve more than100 faculty members in two- and four-year higher education institutions; it was followed by theCurriculum Mainstreaming Teaching Initiative that involved faculty from New Jersey, Maryland,Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, California and Tennessee.History textbooks in British Columbia tended to add content about women’s issue in sidebarsand asides from the main text.

The benefits of this approach can be summarized as follows:  Individual accountability for success as an engineering student  Setting the goal of graduating with an engineering degree and developing a plan to achieve the goal will result in more efficient students, potentially reducing the time to graduation, and reduce the number of students who “drift aimlessly” through a curriculum  Students will perform better in all courses  The skills students develop to be an effective engineering students are the same skills they need in their later career  Learning to apply general student development topics from the course to their personal development planThe focus

The tool includes an integrated development environment that models the environments thattypically included with robotics packages.
