Undergraduate students can receive jobs in and around the same locationof their alma mater, which leads to the need to gain knowledge of the geography and populationto be a successful transportation engineer in that area. Turochy [22] gave the example of “aninstitution located in a large metropolitan area may place a higher value on a multimodalapproach (including coverage of mass transit systems) than an institution in a small collegetown” (p. 202).The increase of information technology applications, including simulations, in recent years hascreated the need to educate future engineers on the use of them and how to interpret theiroutputs. This adds another topic to the already expansive course syllabus. The fact thattransportation agencies are

Ella’s challenges with executive functioning combined with her high anxiety and former reliance on a regular planning with instructors may not coincide well with a course that is individualistic and self-paced. Such a course may not typically have a syllabus with clearly defined deadlines. Also, because instructors and faculty members are responding in real time to student work, being able to anticipate or plan for long-term learning objectives becomes very

The training will include the fundamental elements ofdesigning a course and delivering content; the initial plans call for the students to observeinstructors in the classroom, review the course syllabus, and other course materials, and preparea report.

Modules were implemented into three engineering courses at thefreshman, sophomore, and senior level. The goal of the ethics modules was to be easy toincorporate into an already established engineering syllabus, peak student interest in ethics, andprovide some baseline exposure to ethics and give instruction as to how to analyze and handle anethical dilemma.

The sectionswould then reverse roles such that each student had approximately one week to complete thefabrication process.

However, a minority of courses necessitated an alternative counting. If aclass was taught by multiple different professors, those faculty were each given credit forteaching the class. This choice was made because it is unclear, with publicly available data, howteaching load is divided between faculty of co-taught courses.
