important sources of data for identifying areas for improvement. When several options present themselves, time constraints forces a choice, and it is not always an easy matter to decide which. The Lean Manufacturing framework presented here can be used to develop a mechanism for instructors to use to weigh options and point them towards the ones that have the highest potential to positively impact Just-In-Time delivery, use of available brainpower and building-in quality. This can be motivational for the instructor by giving them a priori a degree of confidence that the changes they are considering will have benefit, as opposed to just hoping for the best.3.

This style of instruction does not accurately reflect anengineer’s job requirements, which often include multi-disciplinary problem-solving andworking in groups. Under recent ABET guidance, there has been an increased push for project-based learning that integrates complex, group problem-solving to better align with employer’sneeds2.

The process of producing biodiesel wasanalyzed not only by yield amount, but also for the feasibility of producing each product. Thiscollaboration was extremely beneficial on both sides. This is because an engineer can gain fromthe practical viewpoint of a business student, and a business student can gain from the technicalviewpoint of an engineer. Chemical engineering faculty can similarly partner with business students at their owninstitution. Mutually beneficial activities can stem from independent research projects such asthose described in this work, or incorporated into courses such as plant design where aneconomic

Researchers at U of T evaluated the impactof their curricular and co-curricular program through a survey of over 800 alumni with 25 followup interviews [8]. The ILead program at U of T program is relatively diffuse; students could takeacademic leadership courses or participate in various duration co-curricular programs, from 2-hour workshops to 30-hour cohort-based programs. There was no attempt to assess alumnileadership using any validated instrument; alumni were instead asked to reflect on how theirinvolvement in ILead programming had impacted their career.

Chemical Technology & Management for industry-based students taught by distance learning on a part time basis. The MEng course is a first-degree course extended to provide depth beyond BEng level and requires a higher level of qualifications at entry from school leavers. The MSc courses are post-graduate level and normally require a good first degree for entry. It is the strength of this post-graduate Masters programme in terms of its industrial contacts, development of relevant and new course material bound in industrial practice that has had a significant impact on our undergraduate teaching programme. The existing BEng & MEng course material has always provided underlining teaching and the development of Core

isalso determinant to accessibility. A sex and gender analysis are necessary to highlight thesedifferentiated experiences and needs, which will in terms allow civil and building engineersdesign more inclusive spaces.Fourthly, the conception of electric devices that enable the usage of apps and software havegendered impacts. A research team identified that the way people use software often cluster bygender and especially regarding problem-solving [14,39]. Their research highlighted that manysoftware features are inadvertently designed for people who have problem-solving stylesgenerally attributed to men. This led to the development of a tool called “GenderMag” [14] tohelp software developers create features better suited to other styles of
elective courses. 2) Some type of certification process is essential for maintaining a consistent standard of quality. 3) It is optimistic to have faculty build and teach courses, especially when adjunct instructors are involved on a part time basis. It is a good practice then to pair seasoned faculty with adjuncts or junior faculty, if this approach is used. 4) Online programs offer a unique opportunity to offer courses during the summer, giving the students an extra window to stay on track and meet their graduation goals. 5) Pre-course training on specialized laboratory equipment and software is important to keep the pace of online learning manageable.The course design and building phase is extremely integral to

The continuity,technical depth, and disciplinary breadth of these teams are intended to:• Provide the time and context necessary for students to learn and practice many different professional skills, make substantial technical contributions to the project, and experience many different roles on a large design team.• Support long-term interaction between the graduate and undergraduate students on the team. The graduate students mentor the undergraduates as they work on the design projects embedded in the graduate students’ research• Enable the completion of large-scale design projects that are of significant benefit to faculty members’ research programs
