software product incorporating sustainability concerns is the result of a sustainable development process on which the engineering design decision-making explicitly involves, documents, and analyzes sustainability principles, dimensions and short, mid and long term order effects of the software system where the software product is used. ● Seeking sustainability is an ongoing and continuous effort which requires iterative analysis at different moments in time, incorporating constraints imposed by a changing environment.Experience development and designed rubricThe conducted experience was developed at the Universidad de San Buenaventura – Cali, inbachelor and master programs, in their software engineering projects.In the

Several key concepts ofROS that relate to the robot arm project will be introduced here.Firstly, a “node” in ROS is a software entity represented by executable code (for example, asensor driver or an algorithm to analyze sensor data). ROS nodes are distributed across a networkand registered by a master node that comprise a ROS system. ROS nodes can be distributedacross hardware platforms but there is only one master node. Secondly, communication amongnodes is accomplished with two major mechanisms: topics and services. Nodes communicatingusing topics are designated as either publishers or subscribers. Publisher nodes will publish orsend data

. Finally, to encourage students to shareapproaches to solving problems as opposed to specific answers, the web-based problem deliveryand feedback system was programmed to provide a different parameterization of each problem toeach student.An annotated illustration of a typical student interaction with the web-based problem deliveryand feedback system is shown in Figure 3. In addition to supporting the randomization of theparameters of auto-graded numerical problems, the system, Mastering EngineeringTM, supportsthe auto-grading of symbolic problems. For instance, it can recognize all correct answers to thesymbolic question posed in Figure 3(a), Part A. As illustrated in Figure 3(d), it is also capable ofproviding appropriate hints in response to

Each lower-level badge links to a higher-level badge, creating abadge tree that sometimes branches and converges with other badge trees at the highest level.Most of the badge trees have four levels of mastery, beginning with preliminary, then emerging,advanced, and finally master. Their challenges have been designed with a parabolic gradation ofdifficulty, with the master level badges indicating a rare and unusual level of student skill,experience, and understanding of a discipline. Also one non-discipline

self-efficacy forstudents to master more complicated tasks, do well on tests, and excel in classes. These resultsshow that the students do believe in their ability to understand AEC material but lack confidencein their testing abilities and almost a lack of confidence in their instructors for more complicatedmaterial.The lack of community for females can also been seen in this data as the most cited issue forthese women was the fact that engineering is a “male dominated field.” Previous studies haveshown that women tend to rely more on community in their studies, and AEC fields lackingwomen is causing there to be a cultural barrier for female students. Further research could bedone to find how the background factors helped these women overcome

]. A large university was analyzed in the context of coreengineering science courses such as thermodynamics, dynamics, and strength of materials. Thisstudy implemented a grading scheme (Mastered, Not Mastered, and Not Attempted) thatreflected the goals of a mastery based assessment. Personalized feedback was given to studentswithin a week, and those students who did not reach mastery could resubmit on a weekly basiswith no reduction in their score. In a qualitative analysis of the mastery system presented,students reported that the repetition of problems became time consuming while the instructorsexperienced the opposite- grading with the mastery system took less time than evaluating with apartial credit system. Subsequent interviews done by
course ends (e.g., as peer tutors or project mentors), • help improve the course (e.g., by creating new active-learning exercises over the material, or scoping out new technological developments that could be incorporated into the course), and • keep you in contact with current industrial practice (e.g., by serving as a scrum master or training others in the practice).This way of looking at a course reflects a subtle, but important, difference in devising courseprojects. The question is not, How can I specify projects that will familarize students with thecourse content? but rather, How can I design projects that will help students find their role inpromoting their own learning and that of their classmates? This
global population that is shifting even more to urban areas will require widespreadadoption of sustainability. Demands for energy, transportation, drinking water, clean air, and safewaste disposal will drive environmental protection and infrastructure development. Society willface increased threats from natural events, accidents, and perhaps other causes such as terrorism.Informed by the preceding, an aspirational global vision was developed that sees civil engineersentrusted by society to create a sustainable world and enhance the quality of life. Civil engineerswill do this competently, collaboratively, and ethically as master builders, environmentalstewards, innovators and integrators, managers of risk and uncertainty, and leaders in

Background The University of Strathclyde, Department of Chemical and Process Engineering is the UK’s largest teaching department by virtue of its intake of full and part time students into Batchelor/Masters programs. Part of that provision includes the only part time distance-learning course in BEng in Chemical Engineering and a Masters in Process Technology and Management. This latter programme developed in 1997, provides “a technical MBA” for engineers and scientists working in the UK’s process industries and is increasing developing a worldwide audience.

The institute was to be involved in both providingfull education programs and coordinating educational opportunities provided by others, in theform of workshops, seminars, and guest speakers. It would also provide
student (either Masters or PhD) or a senior or junior(therefore, upper level) undergraduate student. The method chosen to train these Fellows for thisproject was through an actual course offering in a regular fall semester format. Some of the othermethods chosen by others with similar grants are one and two week “crash” courses or fullsummer sessions. The first offering of this course is discussed along with initial results and futurechanges. This course serves as a potential model in the engineering education arena.II. Goals and Objectives of ATAATA has two main goals. The first is to produce scientists, engineers, and secondary science andmathematics educators who are experienced in developing and implementing authenticeducational practices
