The factors for these decisions are discussed and outcomes are reported.1 IntroductionOver many years researchers, largely in the field of psychology, have studied the benefits ofusing reference materials in the examination setting with respect to performance, knowledgeacquisition and knowledge retention [1-4]. Although some researcher findings have not beensupportive [5-7], a general consensus has not been formed on the practice due in large part to thediffering examination formats, topics and contexts. As a result, course instructors are often leftto debate whether the allowance of self-made

Preliminaryresults support the hypothesis that including economic analysis in a thesis option constitutes abetter way to engage students in their learning process, and for enhancing their comprehension andinterest in engineering economics of government projects.1.0 Introduction and RationaleIt has long been realized that the engineering economics course content and teaching methods havenot kept pace with time. For example, a study by Needy et al. [1], [2] conducted as a two-phasesurvey in 1995 and 1997 of pedagogy of engineering economics found that nearly 47% of therespondents felt the need to redesign how the subject is taught in the class. Another pedagogicalissue suggested is that the curriculum of the

A major concern with increasingstudent numbers is maintaining quality of the student experience. Faculty employ bothpedagogical approaches and educational technologies to reach ever-increasing numbers ofstudents. While numerous approaches have been successfully deployed in the classrooms oflarge enrollment courses (e.g. iClickers [1]), office hours are often administered in the traditionalmethod which does not account for, nor take advantage of, large student

These problems are challenging to develop and assess when trying tocover a broad swath of the curriculum, so the author considered it valuable to share theexperience and feedback from the process of creating and

Enterprise or soft skills are more difficult to developas they usually require some technical background for effective professional growth.9Interdisciplinary skills is the highest or most mature skill level.

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face.

will require both time andresources and lean towards hiring experienced professionals to reduce both cost and time. In areport from Training magazine report in 2007, training turns out to be one of the costliestinvestments a company can make as companies spent an average of over $1,200 annually peremployee for 32 hours of training per year (in 2005) [1]. For some companies, especially thosenoted for their high turnover clearly training cannot be justified as training an employee at$1,500 per year of training can be a major expense if the company’s profit per employee is lessthan $1,500 [2]. To reduce costs Spark, (2018) suggests recruiting only the most skilledemployees, retaining them for as long as possible and using performance reviews to

In the late 2000’s ASCE established a vision forthe future that frames five critical learning outcomes [4,29]: (1) master builders, (2) stewards ofnatural environment, (3) innovators and integrators of ideas and technology, (4) managers of riskand uncertainty, and (5) leaders in shaping public policy.

Also, it raises the need to relate, contextualize and integrate thecontents of the different disciplines through a set of interdisciplinary modules that have a closeconnection with each other. This proposal facilitates the interconnection of knowledge throughan integrating element: the product to be developed.The

While, for example, girls’participation in biology or biomedical engineering classes is similar to boys’, this is not the casefor physics or mechanical engineering [2], [3]. The numbers are even lower when we look atgirls from under-represented communities. In this case the participation numbers are lower for allSTEM fields and decrease as students move from high school, to college, and to work [4].A growing line of research aims to understand the challenges girls from under-representedcommunities face participating in STEM settings both within informal and formal settings [5].Brickhouse and Potter [6] followed two

Because of the earth’s limited conductivity, it takes a relatively large amountof power to overcome ground losses (in addition to spherical dispersion losses) and these groundlosses increase as the frequency is increased. Hence, this is why practical ground wavecommunication is limited to the MF and below bands (i.e. below 3 MHz). Another means of radiopropagation is tropospheric bending where
