. Likewise, instructor satisfaction will also increase and it will be abetter learning experience for all.This paper introduces the framework of Trifecta of Engagement. The author shares theexperiences in designing and teaching an online Operations Management Course. Through well-designed class activities such as online sessions, instructional videos, assignments, threadeddiscussions, journals and group projects etc., student-to-content, student-to student, and student-to-instructor engagement have been greatly improved. The students' feedback and the end-of-course survey were collected at the end of the course, which demonstrated that these teachingmethodologies stimulated students’ curiosity and critical thinking, improved students’ problem

test to assess if ethicstraining had a significant impact on the ethical perspectives of the engineering students.IntroductionThe large amounts of capital and stakeholders involved in each stage of a construction projecthave made the industry vulnerable to unethical practices and have made the construction industryone of the most fraudulent industries in the world (Transparency International, 2005). Unethicalpractices such as bribery, bid-rigging, tender-manipulation, and conflicts of interest areincreasingly prevalent in the construction industry (Adnan et al., 2012). Unethical practices leadto a waste of economic resources, missed opportunities for other businesses, and poor quality ofcompleted projects (Rahman et al., 2007). Despite the
