Organizational Behavior from State University of New York at Buffalo c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Statistical Approach to Analyzing a Graduate Curriculum for Construction Management EducationBACKGROUNDOver the past couple of decades, the construction industry, like every other industry today, hasgone through a tremendous amount of change due to technological innovation, intense marketcompetition, and community or government regulations, among other factors. The industry hasalso experienced a significant downturn of revenue since its peak in 2008 and has just started toshow increase in demand and revenue. However, the drastic change in the social, economic
controlled through the sameprogramming language. Known as G-code, this programming language is based on the Cartesiancoordinate system (X, Y, Z), which is used by a variety of other machining and manufacturingprocesses. This allows implementing other technologies, such as laser engraving and coordinatemeasuring (CMM), on the same machine. However, research showed that in order to have laserengraving capability, an exhaust system and a casing were needed to get rid of potentially toxicfumes emitted from the laser and burning material, and to enclose the working area, respectively.CMM capabilities were also halted due to the high cost of a single touching probe.Design Procedure Basic engineering design process was followed, implying that a design

. Thus the investment required to set up laboratory classes would be morereasonable.Now that we know we need no more than one setup to actually conduct the laboratory we canthink of offering laboratory courses for subjects such as High Voltage Engineering, ComputerNumerical Control Laboratory or other specialized subjects. Thus laboratory courses can havejust one satellite terminal at the universities or the place of hardware setup and the students canparticipate in the laboratory by remote access using the Breeze Technology. So now studentscan have real time experience with apparatus that are expensive and have strict detail to safety. Page

elective courses in the areas ofinformation-communication technologies (ICTs). Such courses should benefit both MSEE andBS REE (Renewable Energy Engineering) programs. When the Covid pandemic occurred inMarch, we modified our plans for actions. First action was to examine the inherent correlationsbetween mobile ICTs and renewables, and second action was related to simulations. In thispaper, we’ll describe the lessons learned in the second endeavor, along with the softwareapplications. For example, 5G connectivity introduces enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)supporting high data rates and low latency, allowing large data flow instantaneously. Massivemachine type communication (mMTC) supports a large number of connected devices includingIoTs. Ultra

systems that utilize conventional multi- and single-crystalline technology.AnalysisA large part of engineering entails the analysis and comparison of previously collected data, inorder to give a greater understanding of improvements or changes that need to be made in thefuture. Without the scientific process of trying to understand the operation of any given system,significant advances in technology would not be made. Hence, it is an intricate part of thecurriculum at the CoE and must be included in the clinic program for students to becomeproficient in all aspects of engineering. That is exactly what students have done in this part of theproject, and on which this paper will focus.Amorphous PVThe manufacturer claims that amorphous silicon cells

Undergraduates (REU)program has been a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing undergraduate education in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The REU program provides studentswith opportunities to engage in hands-on research experiences, which are critical for fostering adeeper understanding of scientific inquiry and enhancing retention rates among undergraduates inSTEM disciplines (Alaee & Zwickl, 2021). The program has been instrumental in addressing thehigh attrition rates in STEM fields, particularly among students from diverse backgrounds, therebycontributing to a more inclusive and innovative workforce (Rodenbusch et al., 2016). One of theprimary benefits of REU programs is their positive impact on students' decisions
comprehensive, meta-analysis study comparingtraditional lecturing versus active learning in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) education, Freeman et al. found active learning to be the “the preferred, empirically validatedteaching practice in regular classrooms” [2, p. 8410]. While there is no single agreed upon definition forALS, these spaces have common features that make them recognizable for the affordances they provide tosupport pedagogy. Broadly, ALS can be traditional classrooms, deliberately designed rooms,“polycentric” or “acentric” with no clearly defined center, and spaces with easily accessible tools anddevices to promote active learning [1].
