, 2014 Personal Improvement Plan: a professionalism assignment for engineering studentsAbstract:Iron Range Engineering (IRE) is an innovative project-based engineering program which placeshigh value on the integration of technical learning and professional skills. The IRE studentsmust enroll and complete one Professionalism course per semester (Professionalism I throughProfessionalism IV) during their four semester upper-division experience. As part of eachprofessionalism course, students complete and submit an assignment named PersonalImprovement Plan (PIP). Each semester, through various experiences within the project teamsand discipline-specific workshops, each student self-assesses his/her improvement in

manager in any high-techcompany has three major features to reconcile: The deliverables are managed within projects that are tightly constrained to meet very specific goals on-time and within budget. The reward process therefore drives most projects to an optimized point solution. Systems are continuously evolving so there is also a higher need for a platform design that can deliver many point solution variants over time. However, no customers for the point solutions wish to pay the infrastructure costs for platform development and support. The system provider can take on that strategic role but it implies higher overhead and a perpetual accounting problem. New technology, especially for data

These inputs were based on their real experience,their observation, and real construction projects. Usage of discussion board by students to engagein discussion far exceeded the expectation of course instructor. Most important was that studentsunderstood the difference between the textbook knowledge and real-world construction process.Course DeliveryThe first few steps to get the students started in an on-line course were critical.

and the administration of SIIP. Inspired by the successful, sustainedrevisions and improvements to the introductory physics sequence by a cohort of physicsprofessors and a recent collaboration between the COE and the math department to reviseintroductory calculus, SIIP focused on creating teams of faculty dedicated to executing reforms.To be eligible for funding, projects required the collaboration of at least three faculty members toincrease the chance that reforms would extend beyond a single instructor. Similarly, while non-tenure track faculty were encouraged to participate in, or even lead, efforts, each team needed atleast two tenure-track faculty as well as the endorsement of the department head so that theefforts would have the

The Shaping of Virginia Tech’s International Engineering Education ProgramAbstractVirginia Tech’s strategic plan recognizes the need for its engineering graduates to have a moreglobal outlook. Today’s engineer is more likely than ever to interact with people from avariety of cultures and to be involved with projects that span across continents. Theinstitutional goal of increasing students’ global awareness put more focus on establishing aninternational department at the Dean’s level in the College of Engineering. This paper willdiscuss the development of this office and the administrative efforts to raise the percentage ofthe university’s engineering students going abroad. It will show how to use existing
primary assessment tools used in this course were exams,assignments, and group projects.In order to provide students both the estimating theory and practice in a way that students canlearn conveniently online, the instructor required a new CSI MasterFormat based textbook andassocuiated Means database for students. The project used in class was a actual commercialproject but with some assumptions to address drawing deficiency and to simplify the students’work. The instructor use a detailed self-explanatory notes for the lecture and therefore made thelecture best fit the online student’s background and experience. The instructor also providedmany hands-on examples that students could review at their leisure.The course delivery portal, Blackboard
