The list of tasks they were to respond to included: Plan Reading Estimating Planning & Scheduling Contract Management Budget Management, Cost Control, Accounting Internal Communications (within company) External Communications (outside of company) Safety Equipment Management (small tools, like a hammer) Equipment Management (large equipment, like a bulldozer) Surveying & Project Layout Materials Selection & Construction Procedures Management of Changes 3D ModelingIn most instances, there was very little difference in the responses to the
adding four additional key safety management techniques,management commitment, staffing for safety, worker involvement, and subcontract management[3]. Nelson (2005) asserts that safety training can occur only when management and employeesare taught how certain tasks must be accomplished in order to prevent injury, including specifictraining on how to develop an adequate work-execution and pre-task safety plan [18].Typically, construction companies faced several challenges associated with safety training thatthey need to be overcome. For instance, the extent to which workers' learning experiences areaffected in safety training sessions and the extent to which workers learn safe practices intraining sessions is among these challenges [6].

These four themesconstitute the fundamental learning objectives envisioned for WICs. This team-based competition has been an ongoing event at the engineering school of aprivate
develop our plan for spreading the use of our educational ideas (in our case Mobile Hands-OnLearning). Included in the process is a requirement to test out our hypotheses (e.g. our valueproposition, possible income streams …) through a minimum of 100 customer interviews. Theprocess ran throughout January and February and was nearly a full-time effort. After February,we have continued to work on the plan we developed (to create a new division at ASEE to bringsome structure and support to MOHS pedagogy). There was also a one day workshop at ASEE inwhich the 9 pilot groups presented to help educate and recruit the next cohorts. Based on thesuccess of the pilot, the decision was made to expand I-Corps to include learning. In addition tohelping us
learning styles as assessed by the Myers-‐Briggs Inventory [3]. Additionally, when considering the external obstacles and characteristics of NT students, it cannot be assumed that students are largely isolated from worldly concerns. Students may have learned to recognize “A” level mastery of the subject matter, and have a good idea of how long it will take to achieve it, but still have their plans interrupted by externally imposed changes in work schedules, by sick children (especially in single parent households) or other non-‐academic factors. These constraints are less severe with traditional students however divergent constraints are greater
. Entrepreneurship education has evolved since it was first taught in business schools in themid-1940s. As it continues to be incorporated across disciplines, entrepreneurship education hasseen a number of innovations and has benefited from advances in student learning6.Entrepreneurship education has expanded well beyond single business plan classes. Recently,engineering colleges have been the most aggressive at incorporating entrepreneurship at differentlevels, from individual course development, certificate creation, to program development3,4,7. In2010, over 50% of ASEE engineering programs offered entrepreneurship opportunities to theirstudents and approximately 25% had a more structured opportunity, such as a minor7.

In a case-based module, students identify solutions to grey-watersystems that do not meet current local codes. Course modules were developed with an advisorycommittee including building code officials, architects, construction managers, disastermitigation experts, and academic faculty. Advisory members anonymously submitted feedbackfor each module. Feedback was compiled, discussed and course content edited. This review-discuss-edit process was repeated until a final version was agreed upon with the advisorycommittee. The course and content is a free resource for educators.

Page 26.352.2The Green-BIM teaching method developed by the author with the support of the NSF TUESprogram provides students with building models containing integrated architectural informationto implement sustainability practices that goes beyond both conventional 2D solutions usingelectronic drafting board and 3D modeling for purely visualization purposes. Students areexpected to enhance their learning ability of sustainability practices through an innovative virtualapproach using BIM. The course taught using the Green-BIM teaching method seeks to deepenthe knowledge and skills for BIM technology in order to deliver the state-of-art skills andknowledge of sustainability. As one of the assessment plans, there is a need to assess the impactof
of students in science and mathematicsthroughout the day. Graduate students who support elementary level teachers are assigned tosupport up to three teachers throughout the academic year while graduate students who areassigned to support middle school are assigned up to two teachers per academic year. The levelof support (5 versus 7.5 hours per week per teacher) is determined based on the specialization ofthe teacher with whom the graduate student works and the amount of classroom time dedicatedto science and/or mathematics. Graduate students support the participating teachers byidentifying or developing appropriate instructional science and engineering lesson plans,assisting the teachers with scientific or in-class engineering experiments

Of those that never entered the profession, 80% were working inanother field and 20% had never planned to enter the profession and pursued a non-engineeringgraduate degree. The women surveyed cited the lack of flexibility, the culture, and themanagement of engineering firms as the reasons why they decided not to enter the profession. Ofthe women that left engineering, most were working in another field. About 20% that leftindicated that it was because they did not “like the workplace climate, their boss, or the culture.”About 11% cited “working conditions, too much travel, lack of advancement, or low salary” asreasons why they left1.

However, it serves to reinforce theircommitment to the program and shows them what is required to graduatein four years. The PI and co-PI continue to serve as advisors to the CS/MScholars through graduation.1.5 Conference ParticipationOur experience has shown us that conferences have been one of the mosttransformative experiences for the scholars. Conferences can be expensive toattend and while we devoted some of the budget from our current NSF grantto support conference travel, in retrospect we didn’t include enough. Ournew proposal to NSF includes more money for conference travel
elective tracks in robotics & automation, thermalsciences, and materials. While most of our graduates plan to enter the local job market followinggraduation, an increasing number are going on to earn master’s and PhD degrees. With nograduate degree in our ME program, service learning projects provide a good opportunity forboth faculty and students to engage in scholarly work and service activities. These types ofprojects are particularly well-suited for our program, as our students are often very hands-on andenjoy working on practical solutions within their community.The focus of this project is building 3D printed prosthetic hands and arms for children in need.The impetus was a one-off project in which a nearby elementary school teacher who
accreditation through the Applied and NaturalScience Accreditation Commission (ANSAC) and Engineering Accreditation Commission(EAC), respectively. These programs follow an “Introduce, Reinforce, Master” curriculum mapas part of the assessment plan where each student learning outcome (SLO) is assessed in at leastthree courses of different levels, so that each SLO is assessed at each of the three levels(introduced, reinforced, and mastered). We seek to effectively assess, at the introductory level,the proposed ANSAC SLO (2) and the new EAC SLO (2) with a single project and rubric in ourintroductory physics courses. The primary difference between the SLO (2) from the twocommissions is that the EAC is more specific in that students must apply “engineering

The new curriculum also offers three defined degree pathways that havebeen chosen based on an examination of student “fate” data: secondary education, pre-medical,and environmental studies, with additional pathways planned for the near future. The fateanalysis examined the paths of students who were enrolled in an engineering or STEM major inone year and samples their major choice in the following year. This analysis maps the flow ofstudents into and out of the major with demographic slicers to more closely understand these in-migration and out-migration choices.This paper will

While the Career Services presentation was perceivedas being extremely/very useful by most students, students were not as satisfied with workshops focused on general study skillsand time management. In the future we plan to rework these sessions to include a clearer connection to the CS major. A majority of the students were extremely satisfied with the organized social events with student leaders from Women inTech and the Diversity in Computing (Diversineers) student groups in our department. The Faculty Scavenger Hunt was alsorated highly by students. Figure 4 shows student feedback on those events.

There is an urgent and growing need for workforce ready technicians to fill industry roles.The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicated that the job outlook for mechanical and civilengineering technicians showed a 3% and 5% increase respectively in the 10-year span from 2018-2028, where the median salary is over $50,000 [2]. An innovative plan must be developed to assurethat the number of students enrolled in surrounding for-credit Tech Ed programs increases, andthat increasing retention and graduation rates is a priority [3].
