The Natural Resource Council (NRC) defines resilience as “theability [of individuals, groups, communities] to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, ormore successfully adapt to [actual or potential] adverse events” (Amadei, 2020; NRC, 2012). Avisual depiction of resilience and its relationship to capacity is shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Resilience after a disaster or crisis or viewing resilience as variations in community capacity over time following a disaster or crisis (Amadei, 2020).Engineers such as Amadei (2020) and Bouabid & Louis (2015) (henceforth referred to as theABL model) have formed models to assess the capacity of communities to

solutions.The entry courses along with the collaborative courses build a learning sequence that leads to a minordegree in design and innovation. While minor degrees are not novel, it was found that the programminghad to be linked to something of recognizable/tangible value to students. Through student and advisorinterviews, it was found that advising programs are automated to direct students toward “checking boxes”for a plan of study without consideration of the nuances of different types of learning opportunities. Themain goal of pursuing higher education for students is to essentially receive credentials that have value forfuture careers. So, it is important to understand the degree planning systems and use them to enablestudents to get more out of

By the end of the AWP, 27 authors had drafted 71activities in 17 areas of CS. Fifty-eight activities were revised and approved by the programas ready for classroom testing. Almost all of the authors planned to use the developed activitiesin their classes (88%) and share them with others (78%), while 75% planned to develop moreactivities.

. Teamwork skills areshown at the very top as the most common attribute. However, it is a frequent observation byprofessors that students usually limit the teamwork strategy to an initial distribution of tasks(generally predetermined by the structure of the projects) and occasional meetings to assemblethe contributions in reports or presentations (“divide and conquer” strategy). Experiences withsenior students have proved that they rarely rely on effective planning, revisions, and updates ofa general plan. Team identity is taken for granted as defined exclusively by the expectation ofgetting a good grade. Techniques learned in the short first-year training, like the team contract,are hardly followed. No records of progressive work are taken

The remote experiments, testing, and evaluations were done following a formal and methodic approach, instead of ad hoc practices. In general, this approach led to effective and efficient experiments, and also served as a model to think creatively and methodically for solving engineering problems and planning prototype development. Overall, the design and use of the test board proved instrumental in the successful remote delivery of our digital laboratory course such that all the previous in person course experiments were completed in the online course without any limitations and the course’s educational outcomes were

Parents suddenly had to become teachers; teachers who never received training to teach.That was especially true for parents with early elementary-aged and younger children. Parentsused available resources to help their children learn different subjects. Resources on somesubjects were more accessible and available than others. And teaching subjects like engineeringthat had very limited resources became the least of parents’ priority, if not eliminatedcompletely.
