Responses were collected across 52 closedand eight open-ended items to gain an industry perspective on the relative importance of coursetopics in the curriculum, the selection of Architectural Engineering (AE) degree concentrationoptions, the format of graduate degree capstone projects, and the factors that AE&C employersconsider when hiring graduates and experienced employees. The curriculum changes inspired bythis survey are presented together alongside the program’s previous AE curriculum to morethoroughly characterize the program attributes that are desired by the AE&C industry.IntroductionThe Architectural Engineering (AE) program considered in this study is at the

Their main benefits include the ability to assess conceptualmastery in depth due to their adaptive dialogic nature, in addition to improving students’ verbalskills and serving as a tool to support academic integrity. However, assessments not only play animportant role in measuring the level of students' understanding, but the assessment method

In contrast, when we integrate practical-orientedlearning methodologies and experiential learning with the curriculum in the class to improvestudents’ creativity and help students to learn from previous experiences and avoid repeating thesame mistakes. The common factors leading to a lack of integrating experiential learning [9], • Lack of faculty experience and techniques. • Insufficient educational spaces and equipment • Not paying attention to parallel and additional experiences • Insufficient class management by the educators and techniciansAnother way to compensate for and overcome the lack of practical experience and hands-onskills is to seek an opportunity for internships or coops

Additionalintegration of FWV occurred in homework 3 about the design process (the Floating City was themost popular scenario), homework 8 on data science, and homework 9 on creativity andinnovation (again, as an option among multiple choices). The final culminating essay assignmentincluded a prompt that mentioned FWV, although students were not required to discuss FWV.There were 32% of the students that discussed FWV as something that inspired them about civilengineering, and another 23% discussed FWV more generally. The results indicate that FWVmay be effective in stimulating student interest in civil engineering, and can be integrated insimple ways that do not require major changes within a course.IntroductionCivil engineers play an

The goal is totransform engineering education to ensure that all future engineers across all disciplines areequipped to design, build, and create in environmentally and socially sustainable ways. Criticalto this process is ensuring historically minoritized and marginalized groups become engineersand/or engage in the prioritization and creation of solutions. This paper examines the work ofEOP to date, and approaches needed to accelerate the desired fundamental and systemic changesto

IntroductionEngineers play an essential and unique position in the society as their influence over resources willhave long-term consequences on the communities they service. They are uniquely placed toaddress systemic obstacles, but to do so, they need to have a nuanced grasp of social aspects. Toaccomplish this, engineering education must include topics that investigate equality, diversity, andinclusion. (EDI). Students will be able to gain a grasp of how their
course could be a course on the design of static structures,integrating the theory with its application and giving the students a chance to practice designdecision-making skills in the process. It is suggested that all the engineering science courses couldinclude an element of design and that, further, doing so would make the courses more interestingto the students and provide deeper learning.Thoughts About Changes to the Engineering CurriculumWe need to think about changes to the engineering curriculum from two points of view, that of thestudent and that of the professor. From the student’s point of view, the courses should bechallenging but not overly difficult. Example design cases should advance both understanding ofthe underlying principles
