Society’s ability to address these global challenges requires the technicalknowledge of scientists and engineers with master’ s or doctoral degrees 1. These globalchallenges will not be addressed solely by Ph.D.s in the academy but also by Ph.D.s in business,government, and non-profit organizations. Over the past decade, doctoral education has receivednational attention with the discussion focusing on criticisms and reform efforts. One of thecriticisms argues that there

Wewill be collecting data on student performance to analyze how these modules are helpingincoming veterans.A similar effort has been started for review modules dealing with circuit theory. We have usedpaper based exams based on the final exam in the introductory circuits class. As an example aUnited States Navy veteran has successfully gotten credit by exam for the introductory circuitsclass. This exam opportunity was based on his U. S. Navy electrical circuits background and anextensive review of the course material.Another aspect of this project is the inclusion of summer internships for participants.

is sensing (S)versus intuitive (N) type (12).The sensing person prefers a straightforward, logical, step-by-step approach to learning. The sensing person, often learns by solving problems, andtends to find theory difficult. The intuitive individual, on the other hand, will skip stepsand follow hunches. He/she learns from theory and tends to do a minimal number ofproblems because they think they understand without having to solve problems (13).Perry’s Model of College Student Development (14) can also be used to monitor studentlearning. According to this model, which consists of nine positions (i.e., stages),occupying four general outlooks; people progress from positions 1 and 2, (dualistic),right versus wrong orientations to multiplicity

The intent of the study was to assess how the employers of construction entitiesprovide fall protection training and to determine which employee(s) are most effective incommunicating safety aspects within the entities. It is important to understand what trainingpractices currently exist, as well as the effectiveness of the training, in order to determine bestpractice methodologies for delivering fall protection training to construction personnel.ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this research were to

In a recent study, procedures of using bothAutodesk Revit and Vico Virtual Construction Software Suite [7] to fulfill specific body ofknowledge (BOK) for the ConE education were presented [8].However, there are few studies conducted to investigate how one BIM solution can fulfill ConEBOK. This is a significant constraint hindering the use and adoption of the BIM technology inConE curricula.To address this issue, this paper is to answer the following main research questions: 1. What are the limitations of most widely used BIM software packages? 2. How to use the selected BIM software package(s) to fulfill specific body of knowledge (BOK) for the ConE education?MethodologyIn this study, a BIM model

Professional Development (ECPD and today’s ABET)quickly implemented changes that resulted in a shift from the practical aspects of engineeringthat were taught in the laboratory to an increased emphasis on theory and basic science.2In the 1970’s with the completion of the moon mission and the cancellation of major engineeringprojects such as the supersonic transport, engineering education saw a significant decline infunding and as a result, many schools reduced laboratory requirements to save money. At thesame time, industry demanded more practical skills and in response, many education institutionsdeveloped technology programs. The boundaries between engineers and technologist becameblurred and so ECPD began to accredit two and four year programs

The benefit of the scratch card is that if the trainee is unsure of the answer,s/he can scratch out all possible answers until the correct one is revealed. The use of scratchcards in this instance allows us to convey important material to the trainees in a quick andeffective way. Because the answers are provided immediately to the trainees via the scratch card,discussion can be kept brief and to the point.3.
