, duration of the project, instruction onteaming, feedback on teaming, methods of dealing with team dysfunction, and impact onindividual grades. In the data it is apparent that there is a large lapse of time between consecutiveexperiences, gaps in teamwork instruction, and lack of scaffolding of teaming. The results of thisbenchmarking process will be used to focus departmental deliberations and cast a shared visionof how to effectively scaffold instruction and development of each student’s teamwork skills. Aswe focus on the intentional design of a coordinated plan for teaming across our curriculum, wealso share our process for this curriculum revision through building shared vision so that otherscould leverage beneficial elements for their contexts

develop an updated CEBOK, the Second Edition ofthe Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK2), which was published in 2008. In thesubsequent years, ASCE developed a plan for the long-term management of CEBOK on aneight-year cycle which led to the formation of the CEBOK3TC which began work in October2016. This paper concludes with a discussion on the update from CEBOK2 to CEBOK3.Why is this historical review and summary important to the civil engineering profession? Tomaintain the momentum of the educational and professional reform activities initiated by ASCEin the mid-1990’s (called the Raise the Bar Initiative), the successful processes of the past andthe associated “lessons learned” must be clearly communicated to future leaders and

taskdeveloped.Self-Regulation in Action (SRA) also known as Strategic Action, is at the heart of models ofself-regulated learning (SRL). SRA is comprised of iterative and recursive cycles of interpretingrequirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies), implementing cognitive processes,monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal and external standards, and continuallyrefining approaches so as to better achieve goals (see Figure 1) [26], [27]. Numerous studieshave found that enhancement of SR abilities strengthens learning skills [28]-[36] and improvesacademic success [37]-[41].From a metacognitive perspective, research describes SR as relying on both students’ knowledgeand beliefs about themselves and tasks (i.e., metacognitive

Initial analysis shows that these five categories do not appear to influence each other greatly.In later work, we plan on comparing each category with the three identity categories, as well asstudy existent relationships in the literature between these five categories and motivation. More prominently, we did find a connection between identity in terms of race/ethnicity andgrit/determination. This connection also correlated with which section of the course studentswere in. In the earlier section of the class, the majority of students identified as White orCaucasian, while the second section included a higher
Directive introduced the obligation for nearly zero energy buildings(nZEB) and stated that “Member States shall ensure that (a) by 31 December 2020, all newbuildings are nearly zero-energy buildings; and (b) after 31 December 2018, new buildingsoccupied and owned by public authorities are nearly zero-energy buildings” [6, p. 153/21]. In theUnited States, the Department of Energy (DOE) has established guidelines for homesparticipating in the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home Program [7]. In addition, the U.S.government has mandated “that all new construction of Federal buildings greater than 5,000gross square feet that enters the planning process is designed to achieve energy net-zero and,where feasible, water or waste net-zero by fiscal year 2030.” [8, p

The DIY microcontroller is one component of teaching creative engineering withPaper Mech to make and control paper-based machines using accessible computationally-enabledpapercrafts. This design approach emphasizes the use of familiar materials, transparency, low-cost, andrelatively light ecological footprint to support creativity and problem-solving. Students engaged in PaperMech projects experience a cycle of design from planning, sketching, prototyping, testing,troubleshooting, and communicating projects with others.To be able to control the paper machines, microcontrollers are used with servomotors, sensors andswitches. The paper-based microcontroller can be assembled using a very low-cost
issues. The researchers who deal with somewhat smaller datasets do not considerdata management a big issue; some researchers believe they do not have any data managementproblem at all. Others who only use third party data associate data management more with dataprocessing, such as how to more efficiently manipulate data.Several researchers rely on their students to manage data for ongoing projects. Some mentionedthat they had problems because of this practice. For example, one researcher said: “Students’ datamanagement plan is “ad hoc”, such as they don’t document their codes.” and another researchermentioned: “We’ve actually had two graduate student laptop failures that have caused someproblems.”Some interviewees mention that they have a lab

The first was theability to carry out an experimental study. The second was to demonstrate ability in the planning,implementation, and evaluation of a project. Coursework included conducting experimentalstudies as well as project planning. Activities covered several weeks.The engineering examination was then taken after completing some of the coursework. Thescales used to evaluate students’ examinations are shown in Appendix 4 parts A and B.Originally all the questions were criterion referenced, that is they required either a ‘Yes’ or a‘No’ for an answer. Subsequently, they were reduced

The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams.

In the College’s 2015-2020 strategic plan, a key strategic area is to “nurture acommunity of deeply engaged faculty and staff committed to enable student success throughquality curriculum, responsive teaching and active learning”. Launched in Summer 2015, theECST Teaching & Learning Academy was originally focused on professional development of newfaculty members, but quickly evolved to be a platform for open communication, socialization, andshared learning for faculty across all disciplines in the college.

The mental rotation instrument was an adaptedversion of the Purdue Spatial Visualization Tests: Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) [17, 25].The 2D-to-3D transformation measurement was adapted from Ramful, Lowrie, and Logan’s [26]Spatial Reasoning Instrument. With the help of a spatial skills expert, those items from theSpatial Reasoning Instrument that specifically align with 2D-to-3D transformation skills wereselected. Those items were combined with several items from Lappen’s [27] SpatialVisualization Test. Data was analyzed using a paired-samples t-test. Given the small sample size(n=32

Sometimes, two dayswere necessary to rotate all groups through. When students were not working with theequipment, they were working on other problems or the data analysis following the datacollection. The timing for this type of activity requires careful planning and is an area I willtarget for improvement.We also used beams instrumented with VPG Micromachines strain gages. These are relativelyinexpensive and permitted multiple groups to work at the same time. Some groups were muchfaster than others. The fast groups were
