Heretofore, engineering education has largely obliged these students by concentratingthe curriculum on technical analysis. I have hope, though, that the winds have changed.

Theeducator’s challenge is to translate the above guidance into practical steps in the curriculum.There is debate among NAE experts on the need to push the first engineering degree out to a fifthyear; however, barring this development, one must assume that the time available to impart thenew, broader, deeper education to the 18-year-olds of 2016 will be the same as that available toeducate 18-year-olds now.Clearly, all of the above cannot be “taught” in courses within any reasonable time. It has to belearnt by students. The learning will occur from many sources, of which classroom instruction isat best the most important. The change from

The findings also show that collaborative efforts can be differently interpreted based on the students’ structured criteria. The results of this study will contribute to the body of knowledge by providing inputs for construction administrators and educators to design and develop collaborative settings in which students are led to develop their managerial skills and effectively perform in larger multidisciplinary teams and organizations.

Lab modules with open-ended design learning experience through using a lab-in-a-boxapproach were developed to allow students to solve lab problems with multiple approaches thatallow problem solving independently and collaboratively. Because this innovative lab designallows problem solving at various cognitive levels, it is better suited for concept exploration andcollaborative lab learning environments as opposed to the traditional lab works with a“cookbook” approach that tend to lead students to follow certain procedures for expectedsolutions with the absence of problem exploration stage.

Inthe spirit of presenting research findings in ways that promote adoption of evidence basedinstructional practices by STEM education practitioners, this project employs UCD tools toanalyze and present project results in an easily accessible and memorable usage model format.The purpose of this paper is to present an approach for using student data to construct contextualstudent “usage models” [10] using common UCD tools. This paper expands on related work inSTEM education [9, 11] that explored the use and/or implementation of singular UCD tools (i.e.,personas) for curricular design and student-focused communication among curricularstakeholders. By implementing a multi-faceted usage model that uniquely combines multipleUCD tools (i.e., personas

Both projects addressed real-worldand local problems occurring in very close proximity to the living environment of the students.Projects were completed in teams for both PBL approaches
integrationof students is pivotal in their ability to persist to graduation [1]. The theory of socialinterdependence [2], [3] elaborates that inclusive, cooperative work is characterized by studentsbeing highly committed. During the Fall 2017 semester of Purdue Polytechnic Institute’sintroductory video game development course (CGT Game Dev I), a course design emphasizingcollaboration among students was employed; an extremely collaborative atmosphere and anunusually high lab attendance rate was then observed. The following year (Fall 2018), the designof CGT Game Dev I was altered to emphasize a more individualized curriculum; decreasedattendance was then observed until end-of-semester groupwork began [4].The problem addressed by this project is that
course, and students satisfy thisrequirement in a variety of ways. A large proportion of students participate in real-world,industry-sponsored projects. Nearly all programs have a strong connection with industry at thecapstone level, leveraging their geographical location both to identify design projects and toinvolve people from industry as adjunct faculty in the classroom. In addition, there is interestamong some faculty and administrators in allowing student credit for activities such asundergraduate research or competitive design projects sponsored by student organizations.At the ASU Polytechnic campus, the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) degreeprogram enrolled its first students in fall of 2005 and graduated the first cohort of

While these programs reflectdifferent methodological and theoretical traditions, there are many potential points ofoverlapping interest and intersection that favor an interdisciplinary approach. For example
design and construction projects [1]. Many AE graduates areconfronted with these fragmentation problems in real-world construction projects, such as poorcommunication and lack of cooperative consciousness or experience [2]. Compounding this, the problemof fragmentation also exists in the education field that leads to certain consequences and a cyclic educationdeficit problem. Studies from researchers illustrate that most engineering students were taught technicalknowledge via isolated and, thus domain-specific courses with limited to no teaching of integratedapproaches. This limited educational focus causes a lack of knowledge and experience in collaboration forstudents entering the workforce [3]. Moreover, the education model of the AEC
