contract deliveryeducation.The findings of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on contract delivery ofconstruction projects by highlighting the significance of education for the evolution and adoptionof advanced methods in contract delivery of complex infrastructure projects. Although theintegration of ATC for contract delivery may address the shortcomings of different projectdelivery methods, it is not widely promoted, and many construction stakeholders are completelyunaware of such concepts. Therefore, the integration of such concepts in the constructionmanagement curriculum may extensively improve project delivery with the greatest potential forwide acceptance of this method in the future.References[1] A.

Education, 2021 Cultural dimensions in academic disciplines, a comparison between Ecuador and the United States of AmericaAbstractBroadening participation in engineering has been part of the engineering education researchagenda for years. We argue that if we can understand the traits of the different dimensions ofculture in engineering, we can identify potential solutions to broaden participation. In this study,we are comparing how engineering students from Ecuador and the United States characterizetheir culture orientation based on Hofstede´s cultural dimensions theory. Data were collectedwith engineering students at major polytechnic universities in Ecuador and the United States.The survey was translated into Spanish for the
being adopted by teachers, the effect on teacher andstudent attitudes toward science, and how the activities are sustained over time. This researchwill help reveal the scope of LTW’s value and guide iterations of the online tools andcurriculum.On a more general level, I envision that LTW will contribute to a deeper integration of music inthe schools’ curriculum, for example by incorporating other subjects such as the creation ofelectronic music through computing, and the relations between music and data science, history,literature, foreign lenguages, and world-culture. 10References.[1] J.

Moreover, the group ofstudents who transferred or the group of students who were international, we found these twogroups of non-majority students also gave more positive responses than the majority.

, cultures, and personalities ofeach team or organization member confound effective decision-making and lead to personal andprofessional conflict. This means that the technical leader must consider the problem(s) in lightof both the individuals involved and the engineering or scientific challenges. Unfortunately,academic training does not build awareness of such issues, and therefore does not equip studentsor postdoctoral scholars with tools to address these situations.Technical degree programs focus on technical competency, continuous learning, passion forengineering and science, and ability to identify significant problems. Aptitude in these areas isessential but not sufficient for success in technical leadership. Effective leaders also must
