Education 3Leitch was one of two inaugural faculty members in civil engineering and covered these coursesalong with engineering technology and general engineering courses.The civil engineering program is general in nature with the largest number of graduates going intostructural, transportation, and geotechnical specialties within the discipline. The two civilengineering and two environmental engineering faculty ensure that all required civil engineeringcourses are taught as either lecture or lecture and laboratory in a face-to-face format. TXDOT,Pantex, and local consulting and land development firms are the largest employers for graduates ofthe civil engineering program.A new initiative to

Researchers have identified three aspects of diversity(Strayhorn et al. 2020) to facilitate understanding of the topic: (a) structural, (b) interactional,and (c) classroom. Structural diversity refers to the demographic representation of students fromdifferent backgrounds. Interactional diversity refers to the frequency and quality of interactionswith diverse peers across numerous campus domains including, but not limited to, campus eventsand residence halls. Classroom diversity refers specifically to learning about diverse peers thatoccurs in formal instructional settings like classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories. Researchon interactions with diverse peers supports the notion that

The twopeer mentors were selected from a group of students who participated in a pilot version of theSSP the previous year. SI sessions focused on both the engineering and math classes, providingtime for open-ended project work, specialized help on in-class problems, and access to additionalproblem sets.

Four participants form lecture-based sessions and 9 participants from active learning sessions reported lecturing combined with informal classroom activities. 3. Lectures combined with labs/studios pertain to a course consists of two different sessions: lectures and laboratories/studios. In labs or studios, students are expected to apply knowledge imparted during lectures through hands-on activities and projects (Adapted from Gelernter, 1988). For lectures combine with labs or studios, 3 participants of lectured-based sessions focused on lecture part, while 5 participants of active learning sessions talked more about labs or
variability on groundwater rechargeand depletion, identifying regions at high risk of water scarcity.[3]The STEM initiative combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experimentation to deepenstudents' understanding of water systems and their management. Practical activities, such asmodeling aquifer recharge and measuring water flow rates, allow students to simulate naturalprocesses like infiltration, capillary action, and groundwater movement. These experimentsdemonstrate engineering principles in action and encourage students to design prototypes for waterconservation technologies, including artificial recharge systems and irrigation networks. Byworking with laboratory equipment and field tools, students develop problem-solving andanalytical

What are the similarities between laboratories and theaters as educational spaces? How might the educational experience in laboratories be enhanced by exploiting the parallels between labs and theaters? Figure 1.

digital infrastructure,synchronous CSCL-scenarios eliminate spatial distance between collaborators [9]. This allows toestablish joint courses between departments or universities or to involve lecturers or experts fromindustry, regardless of their location while reducing travel expense to a minimum [9]. Similarly,this approach expands the application of modern methods for distance learning in engineering,such as remote laboratories [9].According Theory of Media Synchronicity (TMS) [10], the key to effective use of media (rangingfrom FTF to various ICT) is to match its capabilities to the group task to be executed. For this,TMS distinguishes capabilities of a specific media with the five factors (1) immediacy offeedback, (2) parallelism, (3) symbol
traditional structure of lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions. Mostof the program courses are taught in person during the days, in the evenings on the main campus,or in the evenings at the Fort Campbell Center. A number of studies [8], [9], [10] reported that atleast a direct assessment tool is needed to ensure developmental and learning benefits of thestudents in ET demonstrating the workplace competencies. In line with the assessment objective,the University’s administration and faculty practice various assessment tools to ensure that theconstituents they serve are meeting their personal and professional goals upon graduation.Assessment [11] is the systematic collection and analysis of data to advance student learning.Program assessment [12

Other participants of theinterview, who do not have STEM specialists in their family, mentioned an example of howthe schools’ extra-curricular activities, such as laboratory visits and career orientation testswere carried out. One of them even had a chance to talk to a professional in her field on acareer orientation course (Q25). “My school provided professional orientation sessions to help us decide with the field of study.” Q26It is also necessary to highlight university activities as well as representatives of the facultywho help and encourage their students both in academic and
giving students more autonomy in choosing topics fordebate and their final papers [34]. The authors describe how these changes helped students feelmore comfortable addressing the uncomfortable or challenging topics required by the course.Most recently, in 2022, Reynante [33] described an introductory and laboratory course aimed atengaging engineering students in projects with community partners to shift students' mindsetsfrom uncritical, deficit-based, design-for-charity mindsets towards a critical, asset-based design-for justice mindset. In this project, students were challenged to address the issue of affordablelighting in a rural village in the Philippines.
