Students will learn to work independently and to collaborate with other group membersas they conduct research in specific topics in energy research. This will enable them to understandtheir own levels of aptitude and interest in a career in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and give them the tools to prepare for the next stage in their education andcareer development. Students will report and present their research results in multiple settings. Inaddition to the hands-on collaborative research experience, technical and social activities will beincorporated into the program to provide students

This regular change-cycle reflects three broadly acceptedconclusions drawn from ASCE’s experience in developing the first two editions of the CE BOK,from 2002 to the present:  A professional body of knowledge is a dynamic entity that reflects the ever-changing nature of professional jurisdictions. A given profession (or professional group) can be strengthened by formally articulating and publishing its body of knowledge, but only if the profession is willing

engagement.We ground our work theoretically using the Academic Plan Model to understand how freshmanengineering students’ use of LMS tools relate to their performance in the class. The AcademicPlan Model details potential influences on curriculum design at the course, program, andinstitutional levels. As the Model suggests, faculty members may (or should) consider learners,instructional resources, and instructional processes when developing their curricular plans. Priorresearch within and outside engineering, however, has shown that faculty tend not to draw onavailable data when considering these components, if they even consider them at all. Our studypresents an idea for bringing data into those considerations by focusing on the course-levelactivities

In addition, how does conceptualizing teaching as a design process inform a teachingdevelopment model for instructors?  Literature Review  We build in this project on other frameworks for research in education that examine howeducational products (e.g., curriculum) or processes are designed for the classroom. In many ofthese cases, there are models, resources or tools being designed to support teaching and learning.For example, in research about the design of curriculum, Clements describes multiple stages inthe life of the materials from the ideal curriculum to the planned curriculum to the

A unique requirement of the course is the completion of cross-disciplinary design project with two other courses offered during the same semester. The designaspect requires students to prepare detailed construction cost estimates that are properly indexedand identify applicable planning components, benefits of alternatives based on engineeringeconomic principles, and determine essential project activities and completion times utilizingproject-scheduling procedures. This approach has worked well because it provides theappropriate breadth and depth in project management and construction principles as well asdesign concepts for successful

Accordingly, each criterion hasits own set of key performance measures (KPMs). For every KPM, there is one or more keyperformance indicator (KPI) to enable the measurement. Every KPI has its own analytic rubricthat will aid the calculation of different indicators including a one main indicator called theSustainability Indicator (SI) – See Figure 2. The nine criteria are expanded into 34 KPMs.The sustainability criteria upon which we judge SoTE is shown in Table 1.

Some of these students had held the$4,000 scholarship, however the scholarship funding had ended in the spring 2014 semester. Thesame assignments were required of all students.A question which is often asked in the review of such a program is, “How important is thescholarship?” in this case a $4,000 scholarship for the academic year.
