instruments and workflows associated with generation of these models. A greatexample of applied laser scanning hands-on classroom module, from the perspective ofinstructional design and best practices, is provided by Sauer et. al. [8] in 2018, through theirpedagogical views and approaches implemented in their undergraduate CM curriculum. Theexposed method concluded with findings and best practices based on student feedback andinstructor reflections. The present article partakes the intent to elevate and complement now theirfindings introducing a novel, practice-based, hands-on, undergraduate- and graduate-level T-LiDAR course not only for CM, but also for Civil and Construction Engineering students.Goal and ObjectivesThe main goal of this work is

solution to acivil engineering-focused ill-structured problem over a 30-minute period. The ill-structuredproblem was developed by research team members, including faculty and graduate andundergraduate students following Jonassen’s [19] and [20] papers as a reference. The problemthat the participants were given was related to removing trash from a polluted river including thefollowing tasks: 1) an annotated drawing and description of the design of a solution, 2) a plan fortesting, 3) a list of materials needed, and 4) methodology for construction. We used concurrentverbal protocol analysis (i.e. participants thought out loud while solving the problem) todocument faculty’s problem solving process and ongoing cognitive activities [21

BOK states that many of these levels of cognitive achievement can onlybe obtained through the process of undergraduate education, postgraduate education, andexperience [4]. Additionally, the ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, Criterion5 Curriculum, indicates students must build upon their “skills acquired in earlier course work” asthey culminate in a final design experience. In addition, the civil engineering program criteriastates graduates must apply knowledge in a series of progressive subjects [5]. The outcomes inthe BOK and ABET criteria indicate that learning engineering topics takes time in a progressivelearning process.Teaching requires vertical integration of material in engineering.

Supporting factors that influence teaching and learning activities include learningenvironments, lecturer competences, learning media, curriculum, teaching materials, facilities, andinfrastructure [22]. Teacher competency, facilities, and adequate infrastructure become supportingfactors for successful implementation [23,24]. To achieve excellence in online teaching andincrease student retention, best practices should be adopted to develop high quality onlinematerials that can additionally be used in resident instruction [23,25].

We close with feedback fromparticipants on the effectiveness of the workshop.In the near future, “normal” teaching is likely to extend beyond traditional classroom instruction.We hope that our case study in adapting traditional practices to new modes of delivery will be ofvalue to others trying to do the same.BackgroundWhile the foundational principles of education remain the same, research has shown that onlinedelivery has areas that require special attention. Therefore, understanding the common issues inonline education and extended issues related to remote learning was the first step taken toprepare for the workshop transition.

similar ideas as presented here. One successful aspect of the experiment is that the 3Dmodel provides a more authentic emulation of real-world engineering practice. Students mayperuse the views and orbit the model in 3D to understand the nature of the problem. This type ofengagement, inquiry, and discovery is typically not possible in traditional paper exams.Additionally, by modeling the context in 3D, the exam designer is forced to fully develop theproblem in a way that is not typically done for an on-paper exam. For example, consider theunusual cross-section. The unconventional shape was strategically chosen to limit students’ability to use online moment of inertia solvers during the take-home exam. However, the unusualshape of the cross

Of equal importance, though, was that through the process ofgenerating the list, it became clear to us that some of the ITM’s best practices were written insuch a way that the three of us working on the document did not even agree on what they meant.This discovery helped us make a final set of revisions to the wording of the ITM’s best practicesthat both better aligned with the Model-Antithesis-Exemplar table and better reflected ouroriginal intentions for an ITM.

exclusively on the United Nations SustainableDevelopment Goals (UN SDGs) and each project’s ability to achieve two goals. Students wereasked to write briefly on what the SDGs are, then choose one direct and one indirect UN SDG toincorporate into their proposed engineering design project. 1 Sustainability was first introducedwithin the context of the UN SDGs. These goals were presented as a way of incorporatingsustainability into the design projects. Each student had to identify at least one direct and oneindirect goal for their design and then the team worked together to identify the best direct andindirect goals to focus on as they developed their proposed designs. The UN SDGs helped thestudents gain an understanding of the impact engineering
