Civil and Environmental Engineering Researchers at Two Canadian UniversitiesIntroductionIn the fall of 2017 and winter of 2018, librarians from the University of Toronto (U of T) andUniversity of Waterloo (Waterloo) interviewed civil and environmental engineering researchersat their respective institutions to learn about their research practices and needs [1], [2]. All of theresearchers interviewed are tenured or tenure stream faculty with the title of Assistant, Associate,or full Professor. The interviewees will be referred to as “researchers” for the most partthroughout this paper because that is the preferred term in the contexts described. The interviewswere part of a larger study facilitated by Ithaka S+R, a not-for
expectations. Engagement according toSmith et al.’s [11] model depends on the effectiveness of teams, as students work in learningcontexts that require high activity and problem-solving. In addition to these functional definitions of engagement, an assessment instrument hasalso been developed in order to standardize definitions and measurement of engagement in highereducation. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) was developed in 2000 to assessundergraduate student engagement [21]. It consists of four themes with indicators that defineengagement: (1) academic challenge, with the indicators of higher-order learning, reflective &integrative learning, learning strategies, and quantitative reasoning; (2) learning with peers, withthe

The FRAM consists of four steps: (1) functionidentification and description, (2) variability identification, (3) variability aggregation, and (4)control mechanism identification [25]. The functions that comprise each model, identified anddefined in the first step, represent all actions that occur within the system. Each function ischaracterized by up to six factors: input(s), output(s), precondition(s), resource(s) or executivecondition(s), control(s), and time. A function may be a foreground function if it is the primaryprocess of concern or a background function if it affects the process but is not directly involved.The first three

We again attribute this attempt to the left-side error. ● 1 min later, the student changes the left-side to area. We attribute to the left-side error, which is now fixed. ● In 5 submissions over the next 9 minutes, the student tries changing line 2's expression to PI * 2 * r, then 2 * r * PI, then PI * (r * 2), then PI * r * 2.0, and finally PI * r * r.Humans can recognize what the errors were, and can attribute 3 attempts and 3 minutes to solvethe left-side error and 5 attempts and 9 minutes to the squaring error.

average(GPA).Systems-Thinking Skills and Impacting FactorsPrior studies assessed an individual’s systems thinking using different systems thinkingcharacteristics and measurements within education domain. For example, Hopper and Stave [6]developed ways to assess the effectiveness of systems thinking interventions in the field ofeducation by defining systems thinking, determining what systems thinking interventions werebeing used in the current education models, and describing how the effects of interventions havebeen measured. Their definition uses the learning objectives in Bloom et al.’s [7] taxonomy tocreate their own proposed taxonomy as it pertains to systems thinking. Hopper and Stave’s [6]taxonomy consisted of different measures including

DescriptionThe main focus of this NSF Scholarship in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(S-STEM) project is to provide 70 scholarships and student support services to student veteranswhich will address the major barriers to degree completion in engineering and engineeringtechnology. Students who participate in this program are veterans who are either juniors orseniors. They also have to demonstrate a financial need, motivation, and proven academicexcellence, and have exhausted their Post-911 GI Bill benefits. The students participating in thisprogram are from one of the following majors that are available at our college. These are: Civiland Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical andAerospace Engineering

Results of Gitsham et al.’s [28] survey of CEOs and other executives focus on how softskills and hard skills are beneficial for leaders at all levels of the organization. Specifically,acquisition of interpersonal skills may provide added benefits of knowing and understanding ofhow to interact with people with different cultures and apply the skills to improve organizationalperformance. Soft skills are a set of interpersonal and social skills, whereas hard skills includethe technical or administrative procedures in which the results are quantifiable and measurable[43

which the research question(s) is narrow and specific, the objective in ascoping review is to summarize and synthesize the existing literature without using formal qualityassessment in the inclusion or exclusion criteria [5-8]. That is, the perceived quality of the literaturehas no weight on its appearance in a final scoping review although both types have inclusion andexclusion criteria. ScLRs assist to identify gaps in literature as well as direct researchers towardsspecific questions for a systematic literature review by rapidly mapping the key concepts, sources,and existing evidence [5-6]. Most ScLRs do not have formal appraisal mechanisms (ratings usedto assign merit to determine inclusion or exclusion) for the literature being reported in
