In these cases, classroom students were addedto a virtual team temporarily, then returned to the physical classroom when able. The logistics ofmanaging shifting participation was somewhat complicated, but students overwhelminglyappreciated the option to elect their participation preference, as reflected in end of semesterevaluations and comments.One instructor observed a notable increase in quantitative evaluation of teaching effectivenesswith this course, as measured by end of semester surveys administered by the university.Though there is no data for past semesters (this was the

thought through.After specifying every material used in each BIM model with every unique material condition, Tally wasready for the second round of assumed variables. For the sake of time, these variables were largely left attheir generic values, but they were no less critical to accurate results of a real-life scenario. Tally’s abilityto accurately assess “cradle to grave” carbon impact becomes quite evident in this set of global variablesthat apply to each project. If desired, the travel distance of each material can be clarified to reflect a true-to-life analysis of transportation on carbon required for construction, and inputs for building lifedemonstrate the environmental impacts upon demolition of the structure.

, the University changed the end-of-semesterevaluation questions and they did not include questions on instructor effectiveness or coursedifficulty. We include this discussion of student evaluations to note a limitation of the study,which is that we compare two fundamentally different courses. Though the survey questions donot ask students about personal interest, intellectual challenge, or the instructors, differences inthese areas exist and contribute to students' overall perception of a class and may influence howthey perceive the goal structures we have asked them to reflect on.In addition to the goal structures a classroom presents to students, students themselves mayidentify more closely with some motivations than others.

seen no evidence forsystematic differences in intrinsic motivation between men and women in either cohort.Therefore it seems unlikely that self-selection bias played a significant role.Our findings suggest that students were less motivated to learn in Fall 2020 (remote instruction)than in Fall 2019. However, the decrease in motivation over the course of the semester wasidentical in both conditions. This consistent decline may be an artifact of multiple surveying, ormay simply reflect the inevitable decline in enthusiasm under the burden of exams, impendingproject deadlines, and extracurricular commitments.Our unique dataset offers a narrow glimpse into the effect of COVID-19 on our students.However, we have assumed that the constructs measured

There were no face-to-face courses offered in the summer2020 semester, however, the students were asked to reflect on their interaction in face-to-facecourses from the fall 2019 semester. The students were asked the following qualitative questionsabout their interaction during the face-to-face session as well as outside the face-to-face session– (i) how the student interacted with instructors/TAs, and (ii) how the student

During the 4-hour bus ride to the ski resort,students were asked to read a scholarly article on one of eight topics related to ski resorts.Students met in small groups with others that selected the same ski related topic and gave areport out to the larger group. At the ski resort, students had a behind the scenes tour of the liftoperations and of the snow making process. Students had the rest of the day to ski or take alesson with other women on the trip.

It is important to know that student groups also meet outside of class hours towork on projects and complete the prep work. With the outbreak of COVID-19, there was a sudden shift in the design thinking coursedelivery in the Spring 2020 semester. In March 2020, the class was asked to meet online for therest of the semester after the Spring break.

Of these, 16 could bematched to the pre-survey, due to the fact that some students did not use the same personal codethat they generated on the pre-survey.

sustainability engineering education has been widelyrecognized. However, reflecting the concept of sustainability in the course content and providingsufficient sustainability education standards are also issues that need to be considered. Some highereducation institutions have added sustainability courses to their construction courses and madethem compulsory courses for students. But there is a challenge in sustainable design education:recognizing the need for change and applying it to the enterprise [5]. Therefore, it still needs todiscover an appropriate way to improve sustainable education. Through appropriate engineeringactivities and education, students can increase their understanding of the world and theircommitment to sustainable development [6

Finally, this surveyfocused on faculty self-reported confidence levels about communicating with students aboutdifferent mental health concerns rather than quantifiable skill levels. Literature shows that evenwith trained therapists, there is little relationship between confidence and competence when itcomes to treatment efficacy. In fact, it has been found that therapists who have higher levels ofself-doubt can help facilitate better patient outcomes [25]. This is possibly due to positive self-reflections that result in improved therapeutic interventions. As a result, lack of confidence doesnot necessarily mean

A key methodological inconsistency in the dataset washow students were allowed to report their race/ethnicity in the demographic question at the endof the survey: 1088 students selected a single race/ethnicity category, while 2305 students couldidentify multiple racial/ethnic categories.

engineering major's significancein other countries.Theoretical-based coursework is one of the contributing factors of large numbers of first-year E/CSleaving the engineering field [10]. Such coursework makes relating concepts taught in class toreal-world scenarios quite difficult and creates a negative feeling of engineering concepts amongE/CS students. Students tend to enjoy their coursework if they can see the benefits in real-worldapplications and the flexibility to solve real-world problems. E/CS curriculum should be updatedaccordingly to reflect technological advancement in the field. Teaching students, especially first-year students, outdated technologies and innovation could discourage students from continuing intheir majors. Students might
