Add addition research questions to Assignment 1 - Construction Terminology and Accreditation. Develop two “hands-on” classroom projects (Assignments 2, 4, 7, and 8). The first would be a traditional bid-build project similar to the Tektōn Hotel Plaza project, although a bit more complex (especially the change order). The second would be a design-build project where students would have to design a structure and then build it according the

The first case was a scenario about suspected datafabrication. The second case study concerned authorship and giving appropriate credit forresearch contributions. The final case study examines the appropriate treatment of outlying data.While 10 minutes had been allocated in the original class design for a final large-group debrief ofthese cases, in practice the small-group discussions were both lively and lengthy and there wasnot sufficient time for a

The Likert-scalequestions were tabulated using a five-point scale (1 - Strongly Disagree, 2 - Disagree, 3 - NeitherAgree nor Disagree, 4 – Agree, and 5 - Strongly Agree). These questions are shown below.• Likert-scale Course Evaluation Questions o Course materials are very well designed and organized o The course materials are very hands-on and relevant to my job o I feel like I learned a lot about “module name” best practices through this session o I would like to attend more “module name” educational sessions to enhance my knowledge• Open Ended

We believe this is important because it will provide us withinsight into
ongoing and increasing proliferation and impact of data in how welive and work. Our graduates enter a workplace that will increasingly rely upon the acquisition andanalysis of data and will use it to guide management and leadership actions. Organizations gatherand use data about their products, services, customers, and employees. Given that our engineeringgraduates will likely enter supervisory positions, there is a high likelihood that they will use dataas part of their responsibilities. Many engineers will develop sensors and algorithms in theseendeavors, and accordingly it is important that they develop this expertise before graduating.The motivation for the Data Innovations Project in the existing ESET 319 course was to providestudents with

We must optimize ourstudents experience. Laboratory intensive education and a capstone senior project requirementhave provided Poly graduates with a margin for excellence. This exposure is valuable becauseengineers are inherently innovators, the nature of engineering is problem identification andsolution. Engineers have designed and built the structure and the infrastructure of society in eachand every era, and in each and every sector. From chips to ships, from “It” to “Freedom”engineers use the materials of their age to shape their world. Thus, if the

In addition to thecurriculum, this paper demonstrates the conceptual frameworks of Communities of Practice,Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, and a technique called Transformational Intergroup Dialogue toscaffold the emergence of mutually satisfying mentor-mentee relationships among individuals ofdiffering social identities. To accomplish this, a mixed methods research design, capturingqualitative and quantitative data is being used. Qualitative methods include student journals,class observations, interviews, and
