Furthermore, recent work on engineering and technology students'perceptions of using new technology suggests an over-focus on technical aspects within thoseprograms, to the detriment of social implications [2].Considering the societal impact of the built environment on the population, this lag seemsunjustified and concerning. Furthermore, history has several examples that indicate the effect ofpoorly functioning construction and infrastructure on the deployment of unsatisfactory servicelevels, high operation and maintenance costs, and unjustified

The think-aloud method asks participants to verbalize their thought processes during atask, allowing the research team to capture the details of their behaviors. Ten engineeringpractitioners were recruited and asked to generate possible applications for a technology.

creativity and critical thinking [27]. Interdisciplinary learning is an effective way to overcome barriers among different disciplines,improve communication and collaboration skills, and promote the understanding and mastery ofprofessional skills in future employment for future professionals and emphasized that interdisciplinarylearning in the context of technology can add value to higher education students and benefit their skillsdevelopment, thereby increasing student success [4]. Interdisciplinary learning has been shown to improveacademic progress and general skill, and increase student engagement [28]. In addition, interdisciplinarylearning is used in engineering to emphasize the importance of interpersonal skills and to enhance
development, and engineering education. Through these research topics, Raissa has been publishing papers for peer-reviewed journal and conference pro- ceedings.

lack-of-belonging as the key issue. University remedies range from social eventsand student organization activities to academic-related growth opportunities and curriculumimprovements down to an individual course level. Mathematics skill building, particularly inengineering and engineering technology majors, is of paramount importance but often left to thestandard mathematics course sequence. This article presents a course-level approach that engagesstudents through solving engineering problems using mathematics in a more practical way. Theapproach is to (i) reveal common mathematical challenges arising in science and engineeringproblems from various fields; (ii) present the problem solution leading to a common mathematicsformulation (e.g., a

This theory is tested by regressing the journal impact metric against thebiomedical engineering research topics across thousands of recent academic journal articles inbiomedical engineering. The
Education in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. His work contains a unique blend of engineering education and civil engineering projects. Dr. Perry’s current work centers on understanding how students transfer their knowledge between engi- neering school and work. This is supplemented by his role in developing assessment techniques for two NSF-funded projects focused on the incorporation of virtual and mixed reality technology into civil engi- neering education. In addition, his past civil engineering research investigated the behavior of wood shear wall structures under seismic loading conditions. Dr. Perry’s expertise in both the engineering education and civil engineering domains provide him with
States that produce students ready to beemployed in the construction industry. These programs are generally accredited by ABET orACCE. ABET accredited programs are reviewed by a variety of commissions, such as theEngineering Accreditation Commission, the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission,and the Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission, and have descriptions such as“Construction Management”, “Construction Engineering”, “Construction EngineeringTechnology”, etc. ACCE accredited programs are more streamlined, and their descriptions arein general “Construction Management”.In any case, these programs have curricula that are similar in various ways, and this researchaims to identify these similarities.

Practices Related to Sociotechnical Thinking in the Teaching of Undergraduate Engineering StudentsAs a global society, we face significant challenges, including environmental degradation andclimate change, increasing economic inequity, rapid urbanization and population growth, theexclusion of individuals and groups from different forms of social engagement, and concernswith privacy and security. Given the omnipresent nature of technology and its influence on ourlives, engineers must consider the ethical, environmental and sociological impacts of their work,and some engineering programs are considering new pedagogical methods and broaderframeworks to engage students in macroethics, sociotechnical thinking and engineering for
