When asked“How likely are you to recommend ECX Roundtable Discussions to a colleague?,” the averageresponse was 4.6, suggesting that participants value and support the program. For the question,“Do you feel like you gained new insights or new knowledge from the ECX RoundtableDiscussion(s)?,” the average response was slightly lower, at 4.2, suggesting that participants whoself-selected to attend the session based on their interest in the topic may have had some previousawareness of the ideas discussed in the session.The Future of ECXThe 2020 and 2021 offerings of ECX support
skills of graduate students in engineering(Markes, 2006; Ramadi E, Ramadi S and Nasr, 2016; Saeki and Blom 2011). This gap createsanxiety and frustration for recent graduates in the workforce (Jackson, 2014; Kolmos andHolgaard, 2019). Moreover, the construction industry demands for students to have more fieldexperience before joining the workforce (Atkison and Pennington, 2012).One strategy to bridge the gap is better integrating competencies developed in industry with thecompetencies developed in the universities. To better prepare graduates for the workforce, theindustry-based competencies must be transferable and adaptable so that graduates can applythem to different scenarios. Construction engineering education programs must prepare

Using our hypothesis above, to measure the increase in teachers’ confi-dence, we may want to select a survey instrument that measures confidence teaching CS equitablyand administer that prior to and after the PD. We can identify appropriate construct(s) for measur-ing a teachers’ confidence in a specific area, as well as when those methods will be implemented.Finally, we can identify the specific evidence we will use to determine the extent to which theintervention

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cross-cultural study to examineengineering students’ social support during the pandemic. We administered the UndergraduateSupport Survey to engineering undergraduates at both institutions. The survey collected dataabout students’ sense of belonging and social capital, including names of individuals whoprovided support for their engineering education and the specific expressive and instrumentalresources they utilized during the pandemic.Results revealed similarities and differences between students at the two

Fill-in concept maps may be more appealing to instructors due to a perceived decrease incognitive load for the student and workload for both the student and instructional team, but littleresearch has been conducted looking into how a fill-in concept map should best be assessed. Thislack of research prompted an adaptation of the prominent unstructured concept map scoringmethods to a fill-in map. Very little analysis has been done as to how a fill-in concept map couldbe most adequately assessed, and whether different methods may be more applicable in variouscircumstances. Therefore, the primary goal of this study was to analyze these adaptations of theprominent concept map

This resistance to engagement may be one reason why the frequency of studentresponses decreased throughout the semester. On the other side of this challenge, a student’slevel of metacognitive depth may be higher than their actual abilities. For example, one of
