count toward this total, the civil engineering program issignificantly constrained. USAFA is also required by statute to be a four-year program, andtaking an additional semester is only approved in very rare cases. This often means that theprogram is not able to offer courses dedicated to a single topic and must weave these topicsthrough other courses. As an example, Christ et al. [15] describe the USAFA CE program’scurricular constraints and how sustainability topics were integrated into the major’s coursework.Such is the case with technical communication (ABET SO 3: an ability to communicateeffectively with a wide range of audiences).

Besides robotic control, The PLC based control system are usedin other types of applications including utilities, rides in theme parks, traffic control systems,railroad, aviation, and a variety of transportation modalities [1-6]. Traditionally, control usingPLCs is not taught in a ECE undergraduate or graduate curriculum. However, an electrical and/ormechanical engineer needs these skills to work in a variety of industries. Typical ECEcurriculum includes control theory, analog and digital electronics but seldom include courses inPLCs and integrating them with different equipment. This missing link led to the development ofPLC and industrial instrumentation related courses in remote learning and technology programs[7]-[10

In this paper, we present this holistic curriculumphilosophy and design for technology in our construction management undergraduate programincluding the preparation class, and three subsequent lab classes in estimating, scheduling, andbuilding information modeling. This paper includes a teaching and learning evaluation to assessthe success of this curriculum design, the transfer of learning across the curriculum, and the gapswe need to address in terms of emerging technology trends in data analytics and projectmanagement. We will discuss the strategies of preparing students to engage with technologyacross an undergraduate curriculum and define technology readiness for CM programs.IntroductionIn recent years there has been an
mechanical engineers in the new era of data science and artificial intelligence, engineeringeducators have been urged to integrate these new technological advancements into existingcurriculum to adapt to the fast-changing needs from the future workplace. My effort primarily focuseson implementing an interdisciplinary approach to introduce the concepts and principles of datascience to the undergraduate students of mechanical engineering. I re-designed the class of Statisticsfor Engineering as Data Analytics for Engineering, in which the students can practice new tools usedin data analytics applications while they are still learning the basic statistical principles behind thesetechniques.In this class, the students are exposed to the real-world
people are with technology usage and comprehension [5].Despite the increased use of technology, there is no clear indication if the comprehension oftechnology has been the same largely due to a widely varying means of testing digitalcompetency. While largely reliant on the student standards set forth by the International Societyfor Technology in Education, many state curriculums do not enforce a means to test and measurestudents’ digital education. With an increasing dependence on technology for both education andworkforce success, we consider whether or not industry professionals and higher educationbelieve digital competency should be assessed in primary and secondary education.PurposeOur research aims to evaluate the extent to which digital

Therefore, preparing engineering technology students for apprenticeship and theirfuture career start is essential. The authors learned that project-based pedagogy is an avenue forteaching soft skills to students. Thus, we designed and implemented the project-based pedagogyincluding soft skill training. In this paper, multiple project-based projects in different disciplinesof engineering technology for both in-person and virtual classroom settings are presentedincluding methodologies of teaching soft skills, pedagogical limitations in a community collegesetting, assessment, and learning outcomes.Keywords: Project-based

integration of social justice topics in the engineering curriculum so that noneof the current instruction is sacrificed. To improve the projects, students suggested that they shouldinclude calculations in addition to research. Students also need to feel that the subject matter isworth their time since the engineering curriculum is heavy as it is. Explaining to students whysocial justice topics in engineering is important for this reason. In addition, students might feeluncomfortable discussing their opinions on different conflict matters with their peers.

AbstractIt is debatable whether or not the subject of finite element analysis should be included as a requiredcourse in an undergraduate mechanical engineering program. In the past couple of decades,commercial finite element software packages have dramatically increased their capabilities byimproving their calculation power, merging and integrating other computer tools into the packages,and creating many user-friendly features. The design and manufacturing industries embrace thepowerful finite element tool and require their engineers to use the tool for product development anddesign refinement. Academia supplies entry-level engineers to the design and manufacturingindustries. It is time to reconsider adding a finite element course in the
