Having taught the courses several times in the past, bothinstructors were keenly aware of which topics would be most suitable for online instruction andwhich would be more appropriate for face-to-face instruction.Course InformationIntroduction to Structures is a required in both the Construction Engineering and ConstructionManagement curriculum and usually taken during the first semester of the sophomore year. Thiscourse is a lecture only style course (no laboratory component) with enrollment that varies from40 to 50 students per semester. Every week, students are required to review two online lessonswhich are available from Thursday morning (8:00 am) until Sunday evening (midnight). Eachlesson contains a combination of

Thebridge construction project required a two-semester commitment - an academic year in theclassroom prior to the construction of the bridge during one of the three, 3 week-long cadetsummer periods.Academics Traditionally, classes at the Air Force Academy are only one semester long

The authors describe the advantages and challenges associated with projects carriedout internal to the college, and with those carried out with external partners. External partnerscould be companies or laboratories and centers within the University outside of those directlyresponsible for the undergraduate programs. Both approaches can be successful, and the paperdiscusses attributes that are beneficial to each type of project.Project Sponsor: The University Instrumentation CenterThe University Instrumentation Center (UIC) at the

Criterion 7 – Facilities – classrooms, offices, laboratories and equipment must be adequate. Criterion 8 – Institutional Support – Must be adequate to ensure the quality and continuity of the program.In looking at the criterion in depth, that specified by ABET, the Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC) for BSxE programs, and the Engineering Technology AccreditationCommission (ETAC) for BSxET programs, most of the criterion appear to match almost wordfor word. For example, Criterions 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are similar enough as to appear with onlyminor

course materialfor a total of 129 to 132 hours of course work. Considering the rising costs of each program,simply adding hours to accommodate additional emphasis on technical writing is not a workablesolution. Given this problem, are there solutions? In simple terms, yes there are, but are theschools, professors, and students willing to undertake them? That is a more difficult question.From my experience as a program evaluator for program accreditation for the past twenty plusyears, one of the most frequent items noted is in the use of multiple choice or fill-in-the-blankreports being used in technical laboratory courses. While it reduces the time required to grade apaper, it also robs the student of an opportunity to practice technical writing

The CCET department is currently workingclosely with the Mahoning County Engineer, Patrick Ginnetti, P.E., P.S. Mr. Ginnetti currentlyis an adjunct faculty member of YSU instructing the Construction Surveying course. The dronewill be used as an alternative to construction mapping and road layout.

The information gathered by Zabbix in CSCDP was displayed on a central VIPdashboard server [3].Closely related to SCGs are the educational cybersecurity laboratory environments.

The quintessential poor example is using a course grade; but could also be using the grade on a laboratory report as assessment of written communication skills.• Using data that represent only the opinion the evaluated.

ESET faculty took on this additionalacademic duty without offloading from their normal teaching requirements.The experiential learning that resulted from the ESET Capstone model provided each teammember a glimpse into the real-world and better prepared them for their entry-level position aftergraduation. Working on an open-ended project where the team had to work together to design ahardware/software-based solution and then fully implement their design, do appropriate testingand validation, and then document and deliver the solution far exceeds the typicalclassroom/laboratory learning process.
