Pyramid and NC A & T began as part of the Talent 21 Program at NCA&T. The Talent 21 Program, funded by the National Science Foundation as part of its HBCU-UP program, is a comprehensive academic enhancement project designed to promote SMETcareers among minority students. As part of the Talent 21 Program, NC A&T received fundingto start an undergraduate research training program in geophysics. The purpose was to provideSMET students with opportunities to participate in practical, hands-on research projects whichinvolved real-world application of physical science. Pyramid heard of the project and offered tohelp provide expertise, guidance, and student mentoring in geophysics. Pyramid committed toprovide both staff time and resources

practitioners, andargues for engaging properly selected adjunct faculty in the teaching-learning process, inpartnership with full-time, regular faculty members. The impetus here is three fold. First, thegeneral belief that well-seasoned and experienced practitioners can be a tremendous resource totap; in combination with regular “full-time” faculty- who are, in most instances, the “research-type” who have not had the opportunity to practice engineering. Second, industry’s prevailingperception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for the practice.Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practice is seenas deficient. Third, The importance of blending practical experience in teaching

A greatexample of applied laser scanning hands-on classroom module, from the perspective ofinstructional design and best practices, is provided by Sauer et. al. [8] in 2018, through theirpedagogical views and approaches implemented in their undergraduate CM curriculum. Theexposed method concluded with findings and best practices based on student feedback andinstructor reflections. The present article partakes the intent to elevate and complement now theirfindings introducing a novel, practice-based, hands-on, undergraduate- and graduate-level T-LiDAR course not only for CM, but also for Civil and Construction Engineering students.Goal and ObjectivesThe main goal of this work is

The Social learning outcomes category neither means “hard tocharacterize” nor “non-essential but a good idea anyway.” These outcomes reflect the very realneed for engineers to have “soft” people skills in addition to the traditional “hard”cognitive/technical skills. The new global market place demands engineers that are ambassadorsfor the profession and who are able to convincingly communicate to diverse and non-technicalaudiences. “An understanding and experience dealing with engineering practices and principleswill only get you so far” comments Kerry Hannon in The Graduate

Practicing engineers serving as project panel members metwith design teams for a mid-project meeting. Design teams presented to the panel completed loadcalculations, conceptual framing layout and rationale, and plans for project completion. Panelmembers were able to provide feedback and offer suggestions to design teams. This additionalmentoring from practicing engineers represented a change from previous iterations of CE 562,where the panel only interacted with students during final presentations.Results and DiscussionThe student

At each level, there are questions that could be answered through research,problems and needs that could be solved and satisfied through design and construction, opportunitiesthat could be realized through entrepreneurship, and aspirations that can be fulfilled through practice,outreach, service, education, and/or research. The full vision for BES offers an initial

The quality of student projects, the excellent course evaluations, andthe increased interest and involvement of undergraduate students in this area of researchprove the success of this effort.The integration of research on deployable structures in general, best served the followinggoals:a) reinstate the role of geometry in the architectural engineering education as a tool for Page 8.741.5the invention and design of new forms.

Engineering Undergraduate and Graduate Students: Results of a National SurveyAbstractThe new ABET EAC accreditation outcomes recognize the importance of educating studentsabout their ethical and professional responsibilities, and how these relate to the impact ofengineering in societal and environmental contexts. This research explored how the educators ofchemical engineering students viewed the sufficiency of education on ethics and societal impacts(ESI), as well as their own teaching practices for ESI. Two online surveys gathered feedbackfrom chemical engineering instructors, resulting in 107 respondents representing 76 institutions.A large percentage of the chemical engineering respondents felt that undergraduate educationwas deficient on
