Collecting application materials via emailwas preferred during year-1, in lieu of generating an online fillable form that had to have certaincompliance checks. Once all of the participant applications were received, they were screenedfor eligibility and completeness.

Along these lines, engineer 2 mentioned “Even though Ihave the technical skills, I prefer to stay away from public policy because I am not familiar withpublic policy process”. This proves that one of the obstacles of engineer’s participation andinfluence is the lack of public policy knowledge. By reviewing engineer’s education curriculums,in the USA educational system, engineers are not exposed to any course related to public policy.The integration of public policy courses into engineer’s education is vital, especially that engineersrecognize that the technical details matter in many policy issues. To further illustrate this point,we refer to studies discussing the relationship between knowledge and

In Olin College’s largely project-based curriculum, students spend much of their time in design teams. These courses can present barriers for students with disabilities who are entitled to the same access to learning resources, including classroom culture, as their peers. Project-based courses present a wide range of challenges for students with disabilities, including, but not limited to, the ability to fully participate in hands-on learning and as a contributing team member. As larger numbers of students with identified non-visible disabilities enter engineering schools, and engineering schools increasingly adopt project-based design courses, the

The SEPs are integral in engineering education because they not only supportteachers and K-12 students to develop an understanding of what scientists and engineers do butalso promote hands-on lessons that include open inquiry, which is the hallmark of scientificresearch.Unfortunately, even as today’s students effortlessly interact with modern technological artifacts,they often lack an understanding of the underlying engineering, technology, and businessprocesses.

Despite this, construction managementprograms present an ideal environment in which to apply the studio pedagogical model. Thecomplexity of the construction industry and its processes and the fact that project-based learningis appropriate to a process that requires multiple players to collaborate to design, create, produce,and provide physical buildings underscores the appropriateness of this educational model.Studios are based on several key unique characteristics of their relative
