. But in most cases, it could be perceived as a possibledistraction from course content and could inhibit learning for some individuals.Regardless of whether instructors opt to or have the ability to restrict cell phone usage, the authorbelieves it is critical that instructors adapt to new learning techniques and appeal to the interests ofthe students. With cell phone usage averaging 8-10 hours per day for college-aged men and women[1, 2], delivering content via digital media may provide another way to reinforce classroomlearning goals. In particular, using online videos appeals to students because it allows adaptationto individual learning needs (exam preparation, missing lectures, homework help), manageability(pausing material, skipping

Students also provided permissionto record their grades on course assignments for analysis. Following the end of the semester,participating students’ scores were recorded for the following: (1) Average of scores forhomework assignments; (2) Average of scores on quizzes; (3) Average of scores for each of threephases of the term project; (4) Average of scores for three midterm exams; (5) Score for classparticipation. Data will be analyzed using multiple regression models. The proposed paper willdescribe the course structure and design of the course assignments, which differ in their level offlexibility, as well as the results and

withintraditional courses. Some universities employ upper-level electives, clubs, or even independentstudy experiences to teach sustainability principles to undergraduates. Many courses dedicatedto sustainable development are limited to graduate programs. In this paper, we present theresults of a faculty team’s efforts to design a new course on sustainable infrastructuredevelopment as a part of undergraduate civil engineering curricula. We conduct benchmarkingwith existing programs that teach infrastructure and sustainable development as explicit courseswithin civil engineering. We crosswalk the pedagogical framework within the American Societyof Civil Engineers (ASCE) Excellence in Civil Engineering Education (ExCEEd) Model to thedraft syllabus and

. • Once the semester commences, the course coordinator provides a steady stream of materials and information to instructors and students. These materials cover a wide range, including project assignment, submission deadlines, example problems, and innovative ways to present the material. • The coordinator posts course content information to online platforms (MS Teams and D2L) to ensure proposed materials are shared among the instructors for peer review and comment, confirming the product is ready for students well in advance. Assessment: Course coordinator is also responsible for course assessment including selection of assignments for assessment, and the development and implementation of

The research team recognizes that there are other institutions beyond these100 teaching civil engineering and that using this set of institutions does not encompass allcoursework offered to students in the U.S. However, following this method enables a reasonablescope while still supporting evaluation of a broad cross-section of civil engineering programs.For the educational institutions identified, the online course catalogs were reviewed forundergraduate- and graduate-level engineering courses related to timber or wood. Course titlesand descriptions were screened for keywords, including “wood,” “timber,” “design,” and“engineering.” General civil engineering

ComputationControl (Spring 2021):The instructor for this course has taught it for many years and had used a structured laboratoryreport for the weekly exercises until it was discontinued during the COVID pandemic tostreamline student online submissions of MATLAB-focused weekly activities. The instructor re-implemented the structured lab report format for the control year’s offering. Students were askedto complete the computational exercises and answer questions in an electronic fill-in-the-blankformat. The structure of the “report” requested (1) objectives of the lab, (2) responses tocomputational tasks in complete sentences and with screen captures of student work, (3)conclusions in complete sentences, including responses to “What did you learn in this lab
