The Timelineis built into the BIM model, allowing students to visualize the 3D model and illustrate theconstruction sequence input. The software will enable students to analyze digital models withscheduling components at their own pace through provided, interactive, and easy-to-understand4D BIM modeling.

Between the four teachers, a total of twelveSTEM project ideas were submitted, offering teachers an opportunity to inspire one another asthey designed

The projects required a final presentationto be delivered in a virtual conference at the completion of the program.The undergraduate mentors were an integral component of the curriculum design. Theyworked daily with the high school lab assistants and developed working relationships thatsupported student success through tutoring of physics course content, ongoing guidance onprojects and designing additional activities to further develop skills and areas of knowledge.STEM LeadershipThe Bringing STEM to Life: Work Integrated Learning program also works to address issuesaround STEM leadership by constructing work embedded

Traveling on the STEM Career Expressway, students change lanes as their interests change and they explore the variety of careers open to them in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Simultaneously, their core academic knowledge and skills are enhanced and applied through a highly integrated curriculum. The development, definition, dissemination, and adoption of the STEM Career Expressway is the single most important strategy of this project because of its ability to position Technology Education as an integral component of public education for preparing our state’s workforce and its ability to integrate and support the core academic

The faculty know it as the MEP course, and studentsnickname it the Mechanical course since that is the first area in the course they study. Forconstruction engineering students, this course broadens their curriculum and allows them tointeract with faculty and students in other departments. Mechanical engineering students can takethis course as an elective to apply many theoretical concepts from previous courses into anarrower field. Since its inception, the course has been taught by a mechanical engineeringfaculty member.The ASME Vision 2030 [1] states that the problems that mechanical engineers work on ofteninclude elements of other engineering disciplines, require
implementation of ECE Discovery Studio was driven by two compoundingmotivations to address student needs. First, while the adoption of a threaded curriculum modelaffords students incredible flexibility in designing their own undergraduate degree program, theSchool needed to also provide students with a foundation to navigate the curriculum given itsmyriad choices. Furthermore, this foundational knowledge must extend beyond traditionalacademic planning. Students need to explore the broader field of electrical and computerengineering with respect to the “big ideas” in the discipline, relevant career options, and areas ofresearch to build an understanding of the fields of electrical and computer engineering in the realworld.Additionally, the School of

As designed, the program emphasizes the intersection of sustainability, systemsthinking, and the practices of engineers to provide a holistic understanding of the nature ofengineering research. In this paper, we describe the structure of the Building Education RETprogram from the teachers’ technical research to curriculum development, and finally curriculumimplementation.

explained with abrief narrative containing several key ideas that provide detail, or broad understandings, of thestandard. Within each standard, there are benchmarks provided by grade band (Pk-2, 3-5, 6-8,and 9-12) that detail what students should know and be able to do within the specified context.Benchmarks are written with active, measurable verbs to facilitate unit and lesson planning aswell as assessments. Additionally, each of the 142 benchmarks align with one or more of thedomains of learning – cognitive, psychomotor, and/or affective – and ITEEA offers an onlineresource to aid curriculum developers and classroom teachers in making these connections. Eachof these three domains are also correlated to the technology and engineering dimensions

As the advancements in technologiescontinue to grow in the construction industry, BIM will be an essential element in driving thedesign and construction concerning Sustainability [11]. Building Information Modeling is helpfulfor environmental Sustainability monitoring and management over a building life cycle [11]. BIMallows Sustainability to become a key component of the design, construction, and delivery. Itenables the corresponding decisions that affect its environmental performance to avoid costlyredesign or engineering waste [14].Building information modeling has been integrated into many AEC curriculums through the years.BIM can be used as a powerful method approach and an efficient
, while still maintaining rigor in engineering fundamentals, to ensuredevelopment of future technical and soft skills. Current leaders in engineering education haveshifted curriculums towards more hands-on, multidisciplinary project-based learning to helpstudents apply their technical knowledge while developing important soft skills such ascommunication and teamwork [24].Many universities are now following suit and have already begun to integrate an increased numberof client-facing and/or industry relevant project-based classes in their programs. For example,Arizona State University (ASU) in the US currently has eight project-based classes from a total of40 classes in their manufacturing engineering degree program. It is expected that future jobs
that mathematics does. To mediate thissource of confusion most control course curriculums include some form of laboratoryexperiments. More often than not this requires the learning of new software like LabView todrive the control experiments. It also includes other hardware that can be equally expensive.This can leave students dependent on expensive hardware and software to control even thesimplest of systems. In this paper we compare two approaches; one with MATLAB and another more directapproach with an Arduino based controller. In both cases the students need either priorknowledge of MATLAB or Arduino programming to complete the experiments. For the see-sawexperimental apparatus that we developed, we provide the details and costs
writers [9].Approaches to teaching writing to engineers vary widely across colleges and universities.Technical writing can be introduced in the Introduction to Engineering courses in the first year[10], in the Capstone courses in the senior years [11], or in courses students take in theirsophomore or junior year [12]. Another approach is integrating or embedding the writing skillsin major courses across their engineering curriculum [13] [14]. This scaffolding approach hasbeen utilized in several schools and has contributed to more successful engineering education,especially with attention to writing and communication [15] [16].In a conference panel discussion, Corneal et al. said that students could be trained in writing byworking with

The relevance of CT is growing due to the increasingly common use of computationaltechnology (Iversen et al., 2018). Therefore, introducing CT into the K-12 curricula is gaining traction inseveral countries (Angeli, 2020) (e.g., Australia, Israel, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the UnitedStates). These governments are updating their computing curricula to help all students learn concepts andskills from computer science (Mouza et al., 2017). In Colombia, for example, the national governmentstarted to prepare K-12 teachers from public schools to integrate computational thinking concepts andskills using the micro:bit device. This represents an advance in

Developing reflective teachers centers onencouraging and supporting educators as they develop new teaching concepts, action research,and curriculum development in the second quadrant. The third quadrant focuses on enactingpolicy changes and strategic planning which usually occurs at an administrative level rather thanat the educator level. The final quadrant is focused on developing a shared vision among andempowering stakeholders to create an environment that fosters new teaching concepts andpractices [9]. The research tasks for this work can largely be grouped into these quadrants fromdeveloping the inclusive classroom strategies menu which aligns with the curriculum andpedagogy
