introduction of GIS into the Civil Engineering curricula. 7 In theirarticle, Luna et al. describe their project which was developed to teach students the use of GIS to“reinforce basic concepts taught throughout the curriculum in a comprehensive manner.” 8 Bothhe and Miles acknowledge the recognition of GIS as a beneficial technology in their field ofCivil Engineering. Miles gives several case studies in which GIS has been used as a tool formodeling in Civil Engineering, but also cautions against the potential for misuse in itsapplication.The literature in librarianship is replete with articles discussing libraries’ shifting services andprograms in response to clients’ demands, including that of providing GIS services. 9 Boissedescribes the

The agenda was considered to be very promising; at the same time,however, it was criticized that little concrete implementation strategies and indicators werespecified (Institut für transformative Nachhaltigkeitsforschung 2015).Higher education in engineering can use the SDGs to discuss and reflect on topics such assustainability, climate change and global technology use with future engineers

There is little doubt that the nature of communication ischanging with the emergence and growing influence of social media. Communication is in manyways more immediate, interactive, and more frequent. Because social media are digital andmachine-based, they readily allow for storage and access to archival data from the website,providing opportunities to assess the current mindset of groups and to track changes in thinkingover time.In the internet application described here, we have added interactive technology to anundergraduate engineering ethics course at Texas Tech University.

IntroductionProblem DescriptionSince 1950, the demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)occupations have been growing rapidly. The skills required for each occupation are changing.The main objective of this paper is to introduce a tool called Skill Miner System (SMS) that isused to produce a snapshot of what Industrial Engineering’s in-demand skills look like. SMSmay also be used to track the trends of these skills. SMS will benefit various stakeholders, suchas universities, students, employers and recruiting firms. The authors show the application ofSMS at The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and present the easy adaptation to
