Greater emphasis is placedon rigorous planning and scheduling, cost estimation and economics, and coordination ofefforts between: the Design II and III teams, the Design III students and the customer,and
bring to the forefront the urgentneed for incorporating home and culture in their educational experiences.The role of teachers of American Indian students in providing effective educationalopportunities aligned with the above Executive Order and the ongoing efforts forincreased achievement of students nationwide is unquestionable. However, teachers oftenlack the knowledge and experience for planning and delivering instruction that considersthe cultural specifics of tribal life and how they relate to education. Mathematics andscience, two of the most important content areas targeted by the ongoing educationalreform, are, at the same time, areas of lowest achievement of American Indian students.A culturally relevant professional development model
Marquand Library of Art and Archaeologyrenovation and expansion was completed in 2003, and five science branch libraries merged intothe new Lewis Library, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, in 2008. But the lastdecade has also been marked by profound technological changes, changes in the library’scollecting focus, as well as changes in users’ information seeking behavior. These changesaffected not only space planning, but also staffing requirements and service delivery methods,making it necessary to take a critical look at our existing libraries even when they are only eightyears old. In the wake of planning and building Lewis Science Library, new user needs wererevealed and valuable lessons were learned, which have been applied to the

education provides agreater understanding of the multifaceted nature of civil engineering.(7,8) They can be used tosimulate a variety of learning protocols such as: design and analysis experiences,interdisciplinary issues and concerns, costs, hazards, owner preferences, and compliance withstandards and guidelines. Cases, by and large, describe situations, projects, problems, decisions,etc., and are primarily derived from actual experience, and do reflect thoughts, outlook, andconcerns of: managers, professionals, regulatory agencies, communities, and owners. Cases arealso widely used in other disciplines such as: education, medicine, and law.This paper describes the steps taken in planning, developing, and executing a case study/ casehistory course
students needed to write three short mid-term papers(approximately 5 pages in length, and citing at least three references) and one final paper(approximately 10 pages in length). Students were given suggestions for the mid-term and finalpapers; these suggestions are listed in Table 2. Students were also encouraged to suggest otherideas for their papers, particularly with respect to their final paper. If students were able toidentify a topic for their final paper that overlapped with their primary major, they wereencouraged to explore that topic. For example, one student from education prepared as theirfinal paper a lesson plan for 4th-grade students on energy. Another student from business did acase study on the Enron case to explore how energy

The idea is that the leaders explain the rulesclearly, show how to use the equipment as necessary, and lead the game. One crucial task of theteam in this step is to inspire students to find alternative solutions and try these solutions in thesystem. The student team leaders need to observe and record patterns of behavior, changes in thesystems, results, and outcomes.Step 3.

We present a series of case studies and focus groups from our college toillustrate the benefits afforded by a balanced view of the curriculum. For instance, multipleconcentrations can be compared based on how spread they are across the curriculum and howmany inter-concentration dependencies they have. Mismatches between curriculum designers’expectations and students’ pathways through the curriculum can also be identified, such ascurricular violations, where a course is taken very close to or before its own prerequisites.

chats asked exactly where the noise was located, he was ableto identify areas where loud spaces (such as the bathrooms, elevators, and group study rooms)abut quiet zones as the most problematic spaces [6]. Drexel University aimed to solve noise andbehavior issues in the library by installing a Courtesy Clerk, a full time staff member whomaintains a “safe, pleasant, and courteous atmosphere in the library” [7]. Most academic libraries with noise issues are also facing space and design challenges.One of the more common problems occurred as libraries shifted to function primarily as studyspaces, or were rebranded as “learning commons,” with open floor plans and fewer—ornonexistent—book stacks [8].

reasonable level of familiarity with a concept. At this level, the engineer is familiar with an idea, but lacks the knowledge to specify and procure solutions without additional expertise. For example, an engineer might recognize that a particular architectural plan poses significant construction difficulties without having the expertise to devise improved construction or design alternatives. Level 2 (Understanding) implies a thorough mental grasp and comprehension of a concept or topic. Understanding typically requires more than abstract knowledge. For example, an engineer with an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility should be able to identify and to

ASEE Annual Conference 2018Introduction:Research Data Management (RDM) is an important competency that is beneficial for graduateand undergraduate students across the disciplines. Not only are many funding agencies requiringa Data Management Plan (DMP) for new grant proposals [1,2,3,4], there is also a shift towarddata driven research, data driven analyses, data visualization and new distributed computationalsystems that use “big data”. One piece of data management is metadata and the problems thatinsufficient or bad
others.IntroductionAs four-year colleges and universities, as well as publicly funded libraries and privatecompanies, continue creating or expanding their makerspaces, community colleges have begunthis process as well. Two very big differences however, are that community colleges typicallyhave extremely limited funding and their students and faculty are often very different comparedto those at universities.Because of the differences inherent to community colleges, the limited information that isavailable for reference may not be directly applicable to those in the community colleges whoare considering or planning the creation of a makerspace. While more papers related touniversity makerspaces are getting published compared to just five years ago, there is

Students used their stipend to order all other materials, butrestrictions such as deadlines for orders were put on the purchases. The students were tasked with writing a report to describe their semester plan for theirproject with a schedule, cost estimates, and initial design ideas as an initial deliverable for theproject. While this report is completed by the third week of class and a lot of their initial plan issubject to change, it acted as an initial layout of their project.
