Central to the identity of civil engineering as a profession isthe need for such expert knowledge and skills, independence of thought and judgment, and anethos to serve the public good grounded in a sound code of ethics [1], [2].

globalization is the internationalization ofhigher education. Governments are investing in international education and students’ mobility [1]leading to the increase of the international students’ population in U.S. universities. Among manychallenges faced by those students (related to their different cultures, languages and social habits),the most demanding are the settlement in the new environment, the adaptation of their informationprocesses and communication skills [2]. Often non-native English speakers may not feel fit orcapable to interact with their domestic counterparts in class activities.However, the implications of the internationalization of the campuses populations goes far beyondthe issues of adaptation and socialization; issues related to

Carlton [1] found manystudents described temperature as “…a measure of how hot or cold something feels” (p. 102).Others found students believed there is no difference between heat and temperature or that heatis a form of energy [6], [7], [25], [29]. While it could be hypothesized that the more courseworktaken, the greater the conceptual understanding, Jasen and Oberem [9] found that the number ofcourses/semesters

Nevertheless,the concept of co- and contravariance and dual bases strikes the authors as essential enough tobe embedded into the course content of undergraduate engineering mathematics. Dual basesemerge in a variety of contexts, reaching from solid state physics over continuum mechanicsto multiresolutional analysis.In solid state physics, for instance, one takes advantage of the fact that the atoms are arrangedin crystalline lattices.

change. In the past, what we nowidentify as design thinking was often driven by tacit knowledge, intuition, and personalpreference of expert designers. The potential now is to enhance this approach through cross-disciplinary, evidence-based research.Due to the widespread use of design thinking, and the preponderance of practical and academicliterature, many conceptualizations exist. However, a recent study by Carlgren, Rauth, andElmquist7, sought to bridge these gaps by exploring the literature and conducting interviews withmembers of six leading organizations. The result was a framework, aligned with both theacademic literature and authentic practice, that presents design thinking activity across threelevels of abstraction: (1) mindsets that

Additionally, women made up only about 12% of the workforcein engineering, in 2013 (McCauley-Bush). In a Leanin.org and McKinsey study, on average,women are promoted and hired at lower rates than men, so far fewer women become seniorleaders. At more senior levels, we see women shift from line to staff roles, so very few end upon the path to becoming CEO, and women remain underrepresented in the corporate pipeline.Women are 46% of the entry level workers, yet make up only 19% of the C-suite, at the highestlevels of executive leadership (Leanin.org, 2016).
