students having a broader technical base onwhich to draw for problem solving. Some students’ reported that they engaged with studentsfrom a major other than their own in classes where the faculty member said all class enrollmentwas from a single major. We believe students’ broader interpretation of Table 1’s“interdisciplinarity” comes from their actions outside of class - for example, consulting withfriends in other majors about the project, or being assigned to “talk to X potential customers”.Faculty may therefore realize some of the benefits of an interdisciplinary course even when theircourse is restricted to a single major by encouraging or assigning students to interact morebroadly on an assignment.Class atmosphere and student learning both

completing the semester(s), an instructor should document and communicate with the GBCI to finalize certification. To efficiently and effectively work with the USGBC and GBCI, an instructor is highly recommended to hire a student assistant who is familiar with the entire process of the course and can assist, with supervision, in submitting final project documentation. Having this assistance will ensure the successful completion of the LEED Lab project.Based on the lessons learned from this Sustainable Construction course, other institutions mayconsider adding an adaptation of the LEED Lab module to their sustainability-related or projectmanagement courses and may create a concrete plan to achieve their course objectives

curriculum.IntroductionSince 2006 the popularity of computational thinking (CT) - skills for solving problems byadopting the theoretical concepts of computer science - has been increasing substantially,leading to an increase in the amount of research and experiments on the CT method. Yet,there are limited numbers of inquiry investigate approaches to incorporated CT into acurriculum. Betül Czerkawski researched ways to integrate CT across all curriculum, throughsurveying instructional CT designers. She constructed the survey using the ADDIEinstructional design model. One of her findings showed that the Mind Map(s) (MM) strategycan establish a better connection between CT and instructional design [1]; however, verylittle research existed to investigate the correlation
techniques to diverse audiences.In short, after completing the course, students should be able to understand the economicimplications of various courses of action.The course has been taught as a fairly traditional course on engineering economics, using astandard textbook. The learning activities and format for the course have varied depending on theinstructor. The instructor who taught the course in Spring 2019 used a traditionallecture/homework format. In other recent semesters, the instructor has designed a partially“flipped” format. In this format, to prepare for class meetings students are asked to read one ormore sections of the textbook, watch one or more short video clips, and attempt 1-3 problemsbased on the concepts in the reading(s
]. Students scored similarly to their country rankings in other cultural traits regardlessof the students’ areas of study. For example, students from the five engineering majors scoredsimilarly to Ecuador´s country ranking for the Uncertainty Avoidance dimension.One of the dimensions that posed more significant differences between the majors was uncertaintyavoidance. We found consider this is for several reasons. First, there are different disciplinaryperceptions and motivations regarding accepting risks. For example, disciplines like industrial andsystems engineering have relatively low uncertainty avoidance [39] because of the many differentcareer paths students can take and how flexible is the discipline in terms of the type of problemsthey solve

After earning her M. S. and Ph. D. from the University of Texas at Austin, she completed post-doctoral research with the Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications in Athens, Greece. Post-academically, she worked for Ansoft Corporation as a research scientist spearheading the development of the next generation code for Ansoft DesignerTM. Dr. Filippas joined Virginia Commonwealth
at University of Minnesota and her Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University. She teaches courses in both Industrial and Mechanical Engineering at SAU, focusing in Engineering Graphics, Manufacturing, the Engineering Sciences, and Design. She was recently the PI of an NSF S-STEM grant to recruit rural stu- dents from Iowa and Illinois into STEM. Dr. Prosise mentors the collegiate chapter of SWE and organizes many outreach events encourage girls to go into STEM. She leads a study-abroad trip for engineering students to Brazil every-other-year, where students design, build, and implement assistive technologies for people with disabilities. Her research focus is to develop

The instructor(s) teaching the course with the subject most alignedwith the trip had the responsibility of grading that assignment. To make this a manageableresponsibility for the instructor, a rubric was used in grading the field-trip reports (Appendix 1).Six Sigma DMAIC LabsThe curriculum included a course in Quality Management, which covered Six Sigmamethodology and tools, lean thinking practices and tools, process mapping, and applications forbusiness process improvement.
