important to teachthe students the basics of these software programs. As many times the software used in a certaincourse is very specialized, it is not possible to have a course at freshman or sophomore levelintroducing all software do be used during the course of study.The authors advocate for integrating the software learning into the teaching of the subject(s)where the software would be used. The introductory part of the course, usually dedicated toreview of notions taught in prerequisite courses, is the natural time for introducing the software.In this way, all the tools necessary for the successful completion of the course are presented to allstudents, and the mix of old and new material keeps students interested in learning.

described by McIntyre, students in problem-basedlearning environments “are challenged to „learn to learn‟ so that they can achieve their highestpotential in their chosen professions.”1 Just as a capstone completes a building or archway, thecapstone course finishes off the students‟ learning as they prepare to graduate and enter theworkforce.This paper describes the process used by the construction management program in Ball StateUniversity‟s capstone in construction course. This course, jointly created and refined by theprogram‟s faculty, utilizes three major distinctive features: team teaching, team learning, andsignificant industry involvement. By describing how these features have evolved over the years,the authors provide their course as a case

type of power plant.Calculating the power available from the wind relies on knowledge of basic geometry andphysics behind kinetic energy. This power is given as Power = ½ SV3Where, represents the density of the air, S represents the area swept by the blades, and Vrepresents the velocity of the wind.If we divide this Power by the section S, then Power / S = ½ V3depends only on the velocity of the wind and the density of the air. This last expression, Power/S,is called Wind Power Density (WPD) and has units of watts/m2.The energy generated from the wind during the interval [0, t] is given by Energy= a) Assuming = 1.225 kg/m3 and a wind blowing with a constant velocity V of 10 m/s through

stakeholders as well as teachers.Keywords: Integrated STEM, STEM education, preservice teachers, perceptionsIntroductionSTEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) integration is a dynamic andinnovative educational strategy (Li et al., 2020). Integrating STEM fields is essential forsolving complex problems in the information age (Chai, 2018). In contrast to the tendency inK-12 education to treat S, T, E, and M as separate disciplines, integrated STEM educationcombines these subjects to represent real-world contexts (Aguirre-Muñoz et al., 2020;Baptista et al., 2023). This student-centered and integrative approach enables students toconfront practical challenges by drawing insights and skills from both STEM and non-STEMfields. For instance

Shifts in local andglobal industries due to economic and political changes, as well as geographic movement ofmanufacturing or service activities also change regional demands for certain skills of aworkforce. In the 1990’s many people became students in order to acquire skills highlydemanded by their workplace or job market at large. Various motives behind taking such step,ranging from a more interesting job to advancement at work and better employability, aredescribed later in the paper. Such students are an important part or the overall student populationin the state of Connecticut, which at the beginning of 1990’s was one of the hardest hit by the

Namely, students may take research credits which are graded S/U. If they takethese credits as Independent Study, then they are graded A-F. Also, Senior Seminar is graded S/Uwhile Senior Design Project is graded A-F.

One way students increased the participation of other students was by encouraging sharing, which we define as proactively putting out an open-ended call for others’ input. To be coded as an encouraging sharing move, a student’s utterance had to go beyond simply asking for affirmation or refutation of an idea they themselves had stated. For example, when working on a problem about a firefighting hose, S made an encouraging sharing move when they put out a call for a peer’s idea: S: Yeah. What do you think Abe?

to define this important property. It isnormally designated as S with units of energy per absolute temperature, e.g., BTU/˚R or cal/K. Furthermore, entropycalculations can provide quantitative information on the “quality” of energy and energy degradation (2, 3). There are a number of other phenomena which cannot be explained by the law of conservation of energy. Itis the second law of thermodynamics that provides an understanding and analysis of these diverse effects. However,among these considerations, it is the second law that can produce the means of measuring the aforementioned“quality” of energy, including its effect on the design and performance of heat exchangers. Exergy is another term that is closely related to both
