These tasks may span from simple to complex and from individual toteam-based. Every project will have limited resources and a good project manager will be ableto fluidly allocate people, time, money, equipment, space and other resources of a group. A goodproject manager will also be able to break down and clearly communicate the tasks to be done bothglobally and for individuals 36 .MakerThe maker creates prototypes to think, prove

criteria require students to apply principles of project management. The proposed requirement is a higher level of attainment in a narrower area. The most important rationale is that BOK2 recommends that undergraduate students develop solutions to well-defined project management problems. Some examples of project management opportunities in the undergraduate program include design teams for course assignments, capstone design projects, and undergraduate research. These opportunities exist in all of the sub- disciplines of civil engineering. As such, the CEPC does not imply that a specific sub- discipline (e.g., construction management) must be covered. • Ethics: The proposed CEPC requires

The SEET’s multifaceted initiatives for improvingretention include several best-practice components, namely: 1) exposure to engineering practice through two new courses employing multidisciplinary projects8, presentations by practicing engineers, presentations by students involved in co- op education, and presentations by senior capstone design project students; 2) the development of the faculty mentoring program for first-year students; 3) the development of a peer mentoring program for first-year students; 4) the development of an industrial mentoring program for first-year students.We are implementing all four initiatives, and this paper focuses on initiative #3, peer mentoring

of Beams B3A and B3Bmust be coped to meet the top-of-steel-elevation requirement, often specified in design. Thisspecific refers to the necessity to have the top face of the beams and the top face of the girders onthe same elevation so that roof deck and floor decks can be placed on them. From the authors’teaching experience, the coping detail in particular, is difficult for students to comprehend from2-D sketches.One way to remedy this problem is to take students to actual construction sites. Although this is agood approach, it is a major challenge to find construction projects that are nearby and installingconnections that coincides with the topic being taught at the time. Additionally, liability issuesmay also arise and prevent the

Contextual learning environments such as work-basedlearning, internships, case-based learning, and project-based learning were found to be the mosteffective classroom practice for developing innovation competencies with undergraduatestudents[10].Case-based instruction for innovation theoryLecture-based instructional methods often leave students unengaged, uninspired,[11] and canpresent topics without applying contextual meaning[12]. Because of the inherent passive style oflecture-based instruction, students are missing out on the opportunity to be active participants intheir own learning which could affect learning outcomes[12, 13].

A widely adopted approach to reach this accreditation target has been theinclusion of industry advisory boards (IABs) in the academic work of engineeringeducation departments. IABs are “voluntary boards composed primarily of industrypractitioners who give aid and advice” (p.169)42. IABs can be involved in coursedevelopment, evaluation (including the evaluation of capstone design courses),accreditation, and fundraising. A survey of IAB participants suggests that IAB membersgenerally expect to give broad feedback about course planning and curriculum43 althoughthis varies by institution. Smaller institutions

they have installed the student version of Matlab. Many of them have done that. Feedback about the lab from students, including official course evaluations, has been almostuniformly positive, which we attribute largely to the fact that many students consider the Arduinoto be something like state-of-the-art, want to know more about it, and feel that this lab gives themgood exposure to it. Another major factor in student satisfaction is that on the relatively rareoccasions when technical problems do arise, they are fairly easy to understand and to fix. Severalstudents have gone on to use the Arduino in other projects, such as Senior Capstone projects.References[1] D. Wilcher, “Physical Computing and DC Motor Control” in Learn Electronics
