many students lack the necessary data science knowledge.To address this issue, there is a need to design big data systems curricula or courses to equipstudents with the skills and knowledge needed to work with large-scale data sets and solve real-world problems. This Work in Progress (WIP) aims to share the experience of designing a big dataanalytics course for undergraduate students, including design principles, course content, teachingmethods, challenges, and successes. It contributes to the field of big data analytics by designing acourse for undergraduate students and sharing insights into best practices for teaching big dataanalytics, serving as a resource for other instructors and institutions.1.

The objectives of the course wereto review sustainable materials and practices as well as teach sustainable construction conceptsand methods. Additionally, the course taught the students about sustainability rating systemssuch as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Envision rating system.The course included a training module every semester that covered special sustainability topics.Thus, the Fall 2022 semester had the training module teaching the students about PDMs for SIprojects. Registered students majoring in architecture, engineering, and construction participatedin this study. The survey was distributed to the participants using the

Eighty percent of students reported the multidisciplinaryjudge panel during the Poster Expo had a positive impact on their learning experience. Eightyeight percent of students reported the project increased their interest in engineering. Ninety fourpercent of students were retained in

Research hasshown that providing students with physical demonstrations may increase learning and retentionof the course material by increasing the students’ intellectual excitement [22]–[24].Cardinale et al. implemented a multi-dimensional problem for which students had to develop acode-based solution [20]. The project was designed to replicate what would be expected of thestudents in industry. Instead of being presented with a traditional design problem, the studentswere tasked with designing a timber shear wall in a seismic area. The project required students touse structural analysis software, practice construction management skills, develop designdrawings, and construct their final design.

,students then understand the set expectations of the design process. This model helps students tobetter understand outlined project deliverables as they have done it once before in the low stakesenvironment of design days. This allows students to focus on their learning and implementationof better design practices and considerations.Not only does the re-use of the project in design studio introduce students to the structure ofsolving a design problem, it also offers opportunity for increased iteration in design. The iterativedesign process has been proven to improve the learning experience of students. It helps target theareas required for improvement and allows students to visualize where they can improve in theirdesign [12]. “An iterative design
). For Gee,discourse becomes a kind of tool to fashion a social identity. Like Fairclough’s account, it is bothlanguage used and social practice, but the focus is less on the interplay of discourse andindividual on a macro scale and more on individuals themselves. It shifts from a sociologicalaccount to a psychological one [10]. Thus, we see resonance with this theoretical understandingof discourse and our methodological approach, wherein we seek to understand how engineeringstudents use text (in the form of EDMAIC assignments) to position themselves as not simplyengineers but empathetic individuals as well.Empathy. Empathy is an important ability and skill, especially with the continued emphasis onhuman-centered design and social justice

In practice, anengineer will have a model with uncertainty (or no model at all) and the system will havenonlinearities and complexity that prevents the theoretical design of a controller that guarantees agiven set of requirements will be met. Therefore, a professional controls engineer will often needto tune their controller experimentally following the calculation of their initial design.
