In our prototypework, we effectively used the Kolb as a springboard to an appreciation of individual differencesand their impact on team performance. Beyond the introductory level, material on more complexgroup dynamics and conflict resolution is presented in the intermediate and advanced modules: Interpersonal – The basic mode of operation of any team is interactions between individuals. Appreciation of the diversity of learning styles and performance modes is necessary for success. Communication skills are the fundamental tools that need to be mastered in this domain.The third key domain is the “Project Management"—not only in the sense of producing a

behaviors via geometric constraint definition.Finally, it will depend on correct translation of the initial design constraints and engineeringchange orders into geometric definitions.This approach, however, is not without challenges. First, can a taxonomy be developed thatidentifies the core geometric behaviors that all students should master? Second, given theinherently open-ended nature of most design problems, can a robust enough set of activities bedeveloped that allows for assessment within a practical amount of time and with a high degree ofreliability? That is, can modeling problems be designed that have students incorporate thesebehaviors in a systematic and controlled fashion. The remainder of the paper will address thisfirst challenge

A mentor can also be a role model to encourage the student tocomplete her degree, and can provide valuable information on how to establish oneselfprofessionally.

The compilation of the matrix was a bit aggravated by the fact that, due to thehexagonal grid, odd rows have one more site than even rows.Another difficulty the students had to master was the definition of proper boundaryconditions. Dirichlet, freestream and reflection boundary conditions were implemented. Abounce back scheme was used for no-slip conditions, while reflections led to a slip boundary.The Dirichlet boundary conditions were set as random variables on the boundary, with aprobability distribution indicating the values at the boundary.The routine that processes the collision phase refers to a collision look-up table, which iscreated in the initialization part of the

The author believes that if a supplemental programs such as this one were offered across the country to cover the shortfalls in leadership skills it would benefit everyone involved, most importantly, students.  To secure the author’s understanding of the current problems CTE programs are facing, the author spent one year immersed in the CTE community. The course of action the author traveled included attending a craft instructor’s certification with 43 CTE instructors, speaking at two regional CTE administrator symposiums on the topic, obtaining a NCCER Master Trainer

Management (ETCC 499R) includes six weeks of intensive safety trainingin a two-hour lab class setting. Part of the teaching pedagogy in ETCC 499R is to show thestudents the facts about construction safety. This is done by using the US Department of Labor,Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration data. A separateETCC 499R safety mid-term was introduced to the class in 2008 to reinforce the idea thatconstruction safety is about human life and that CET students will be responsible for not onlytheir lives but several others whom they supervise. In 2010 a safety final was added to parallelthe safety mid-term exam, placing even further emphasis on the mastering of safety standardsand laws.Upon review of similar programs

Only specified courses can be used to satisfythe breadth requirement, and presently there are only a few courses in engineering accessible tonon-engineering majors.

courses, foundational andmainstream, must be credit-bearing. They then made available a separate pot of money tosupport extended degree programs. In this way, they hoped to encourage universities to view theprovision of extended degree programs as part of their core business, and not relegate it to a few,relatively junior, enthusiastic teachers.Experiences at the University of XXIn 1994 the School of Engineering at the University of XX launched an extended degree programin which the first two years of the four years of coursework were spread out over three years.Extended degree students thus had a much lighter load than mainstream students. The rationalebehind this structure was that students on the program needed more time to master the
