ofengineering. Surveying engineering has a significant role in construction and highway projects,mapping and boundary determination, building information management, land informationmanagement, monitoring engineering structures, and more. Surveying makes use of manyrevolutionary technologies including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), laserscanning, photogrammetry, and mapping using small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs).However, the surveying profession suffers from low public profile, making it difficult to attractstudents in surveying / geomatics programs, with many surveying programs experiencing lowenrollment. This issue has led to significant problems in the profession such as increasing theaverage age of surveyors, with unofficial

With this increasedimportance comes the need for quality education in this area. A course titled “Electric PowerDistribution Engineering and Smart Grids” was developed at the University of Pittsburgh toaddress the need for education in this area. There have been many iterations of the

We then analyzed these notesand instructor responses using a linguistic and cultural lens and framework of student successsupported by awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion.Results: Preliminary results show that faculty are already incorporating social impacts intoengineering education through discourse and rhetorical strategies used in lectures and coursediscussion through three fundamental methods: modeling the limitations of their own personalexpertise, positioning humans as more important than technology, and

Because of this access to technology, Pensky argues that today’s students “think andprocess information fundamentally differently than their predecessors.” And teachers now haveto adapt to the language and learning styles of “digital natives”.A.1 Project Goals.First, integrate interactive tutorials into engineering classrooms that require previousprogramming knowledge of Matlab/Octave. To achieve true proficiency in Matlab, subsequentclasses should routinely make use of it. Students typically remember very little of Matlab whenthey take these upper divisions classes.

We surveyed college anduniversity STEM instructors to determine if they were utilizing Open Education Resources(OER) and Open Access (OA) books, articles, or other resources. We also asked whetherinstructors are selecting materials based on accessibility, diversity of format types, representationof a variety of identities within STEM professions, or other criteria. We asked what informationresources are consulted when instructors select instructional materials. Using qualitative codinganalysis of free text responses, we identified several themes in the data that will help librariansand publishers to find, curate, and advertise more useful materials for STEM course

As a result, students’conceptual understanding was enhanced, and their exam grades were improved accordingly.Using smart devices in the class could be distracting, but can be alleviated by asking students touse the smart devices only during the poll question time, and put the smart devices away afterfinishing the poll responses. Overall it is beneficial to integrate the system into engineering classes to enhance classinteraction and participation. However, good implementation can be time consuming, as studentsand instructors need time to adjust to the new technology, there are the technological glitcheswith the system and network access, the login system may be inconvenient, and questions needto be designed cautiously to prevent

Additionally, research shows thatpresidents and chancellors at HBCUs have significantly shorter tenures, with an average of 3.3years than those of other four-year institutions, with an average tenure of 7 years. These changeshave been deemed a “crisis” and an added challenge to the ongoing recovery efforts of manyHBCUs disproportionately impacted by the global pandemic.Two areas that are critical for higher education institutions related to science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education are (1) the role they play in broadening theparticipation of historically excluded individuals and (2) research activity, particularly

study the issue of the gender gap and the factorsaffecting it [11].Solving the gender gap is of interest to scientific education [12]. Despite the implementation ofmany policies to reduce the gender gap, the difference in the rate of women and men in the fieldof engineering, especially in Middle Eastern countries, remains significant. These differences canalso have negative effects on scientific and technological progress [12]. The “credentialsequilibrium” described by Salehi-Isfahani [13] refers to a system in which educationalqualifications in the Middle East were primarily aimed at securing public sector jobs rather thanfostering broader economic productivity. This factor has led to high youth unemployment andinefficient use of educational
