the A+E team at South Dakota Mines university are to i) increase studentinnovation, creativity, collegiality, and entrepreneurship within STEM programs, and ii) increasethe talent pool of STEM graduates, by engaging and retaining traditionally underrepresentedSTEM participants that can help integrate art into products, primarily in the design cycle.To help meet the above goals the A+E program involves an Artist-in-Residence (AIR). The AIRprovides professional opinion and expertise with regard to new A+E modules within the program.Thus, the AIR provides a diverse and out-of-the-box perspective on many of the problems thestudents face.With regard to Goal #1 increased student innovation, creativity, collegiality within the STEMprograms at South

More recently, a leading construction educationalist and established researcher wasquoted to have said: “we teach too much and our students learn too little” 7. As a result,institutional educators and instructors are exploring new innovative ways to engage studentthrough active learning processes 8-10 and methods to enhance knowledge retention 11,12.Construction literature suggests a few solutions that instructors can use to ensure that studentsacquire skill-sets that are required for professional success.

Community relations and impact comeinto play when they generally interact with the partner or are needing input and feedback. The balance seen in these reflections is similar to what has been seen in other data from theoverall program. In particular, a study of alumni [13] found that it was the interplay of thesedimensions that was cited by graduates that created the exceptional learning experience.

The scant researchthat does exist about low income, first generation students (LIFGs) is grounded in a deficiencymodel, focusing on what these students lack.

withmanufacturing practices, it is important to utilize a variety of specialized tools to implementproduct designs. However, the ability of institutions to meet these goals in fiscally austere timesis proving to be difficult for all but those with the financial resources to acquire costly industrialgrade equipment.In order for manufacturing and vocational programs to survive, they must adapt and becomecost conscious. And, when cost-saving measures are necessary, it is important to ensure that theprogram will still satisfactorily prepare students to enter the job-market as qualified workers.While it may not be necessary for graduates in some program areas like engineering todemonstrate proficiency in the use of specialized manufacturing equipment, it is
, and inappropriate construction practices [3], [4]. Furthermore, proper planning forinfrastructure projects, or better-called infrastructure management (IM), is often not met due tothe complexity of such projects, thus causing schedule overruns and failure to meet theforecasted budgets. Research shows that, despite the usual practices, the best way to deliver aproject is focusing on the Front-End Planning (FEP) phase, prior to authorizing its funding andsubsequent construction [5], [6]. The FEP of a project is a fundamental process of scopedefinition so that the stakeholders can address and minimize risks to accomplish improvedproject outcomes [7]. Applying FEP practices to infrastructure projects is vital for thedevelopment of these projects
