The authors noted that embedding BIM in theundergraduate capstone project is critical to keep students current with the industry.Wu and Issa explored the relationship between BIM education and student career development [7]. Throughthe survey with the educational and professional communities, the authors showed that there is significantattention in BIM adoption and implementation in educational and professional communities. The authorsalso concluded that a gap exists between college BIM education and the expectations from the AEC industryand recommended that a strong partnership between the educational and professional communities isrequired to improve the college BIM curricula to bridge the gaps

All of these questions and many more cannotbe answered without a thorough analysis of a practical survey from underrepresented communities,who actively use the co-curricular spaces. A comprehensive study that could provide thefoundation to extend the concept of the co-curricular areas beyond the freshman year of theundergraduate career is very imperative to secure the educational benefits of diversity.The limited number of studies present information about the critical role of the co-curricular spaces(Vance & Perkins

His laboratory is one of the few in the United States that developapparatus and teach students how to create their own. The use of 3D printing is a naturalprogression in the construction of apparatus yet surprisingly few experimental psychologists aretaking advantage of these remarkable devices. Thus, the purpose of this paper is two-fold. First,we wanted to estimate the use of 3D printing by experimental psychologists and second, to offerrecommendations on how to increase the interactions

Contextualizing course topics is a strategy to combat studentdisengagement by providing real-world examples related to course topics allowing students tosee the applications of abstract theoretical concepts [3]. Providing real-world context fortechnical topics covered in engineering courses is typically accomplished through case studies[4], [5]. While case studies can be useful in practice as an intellectual exercise, the skills ofanalyzing a case study are not necessarily drawn upon during an engineer’s career followinggraduation. More commonly, engineers working in industry, government or academia useprimary research literature to inform the engineering decisions made in their work.
