Every student is loaned an iPad for use duringthe week, and most modules integrate our custom-developed app, AudioWorks (which we alsomake available for free via the App Store).

When asked “What aspects of their education helped to nurture their creative problem-solvingskill?”, in truth, they had difficulty identifying anything. In the end, it was our belief that nurturingstudents to be creative problem solvers, capable of creating new ideas and validating their creations withmodels based upon engineering fundamentals was to be the goal of our course. In addition, a larger goalwas that this approach would also be integrated into the courses preceding our capstone modeling course.This realization has prompted us to

Furthermore, in the meantime, given the demands of amilitary career, it might be difficult for the former students to be able to maintain theircredentialing. This area represents an opportunity for further study.This study concludes that the content and format of the credentialing course needs to change. Itmust spend more time on the foundational concepts of integrating sustainability into design andless on simply obtaining specific credentials. To this end, the instructors added an applicationproject to the course where the students must

6% of STEM workers and Hispanics representing 7% ofSTEM workers [7].Traditional efforts to increase participation in STEM fields have been largely focused on improving themath and science curriculum through better recruitment and training of teachers with scholarships, loan-forgiveness, and higher pay. However, “not enough STEM graduates means not enough STEM teachers,regardless of incentives [8].” An alternative is to expose students to STEM fields early and induce them tochoose STEM careers. For example, 65% of scientists with advanced degrees developed their scienceinterest before middle school [9]. However, in underserved populations, it is not necessarily lack of theawareness of STEM fields but the socio-economic barriers that prevent

The concept behind these two testing sessions was that it was to be used as ahomework assignment and an evaluation of the use of the program and others like it foreducational purposes, as well as integrating it into the course material proper. Because part of thecourse curriculum material focuses on the greenness and sustainability of ancient monumentsand construction processes, the Colosseum and

Their findings challenge the dominantperceptions of leadership in the literature which are based on “assumptions of coherence,integration, context and direction” (p.13). Instead, the researchers found fragmentation betweenthe manager’s leadership ideas and practice, with noticeable differences between espousedleadership meanings and their actual use in practice [8].

computer science and engineering programs use Python as anintroduction to programing for similar reasons [6,8]. MATLAB was introduced next in the sequence of programming languages. The primary reasonto include it was because of the professional schools’ desire to include it in the tool set of all engineeringstudents. Also, its mathematical capabilities make it an excellent choice for future engineering andscientific modeling. Like Python, MATLAB’s interpretive environment makes it easy to experiment withcoding scripts.
