This paper advocates for the strategic integration ofinfographics as an essential tool to enhance learning outcomes. Infographics, by virtue of theirability to simplify complex information into engaging, visually stimulating formats, emerge as acritical asset in the educator's toolkit, offering novel ways to enrich the learning experience [2].Driven by the significance of visual literacy and the pedagogical potential of infographics, thispaper aims to highlight how these visual tools can significantly improve visual literacy,comprehension, engagement, and

In fact, the status ofelectrochemical education has changed little since a 1986 National Research Council reportnoted,1 "Most of the chemistry and chemical engineering departments offer no formal instruction or research in corrosion. Fewer than 20 percent of the chemical engineering departments provide training in electrochemical synthesis and energy conversion, either through course work or research. In addition, over the past 10 to 20 years there has been a gradual disappearance of electrochemical coverage in most physical chemistry courses."In short, a sizable fraction of all practicing engineers and scientists will use

universityeducation tends towards an integral formation, where teachers take a role as process facilitators,adapting strategies to students' needs. In this approach, all actors are relevant since theycontribute with ideas, reflections, and feedback en-route to a shared learning experience;therefore, everybody learns continuously, which allows us to develop continuous improvementsand apply what we teach. Here lies the value of feedback provided by each student.As can be seen in figure 5, the Questionnaire proposes seven areas to evaluate by students.

Considering real-life needs, the development of a professional skill set comprising proficiency in communication,business, creativity, leadership, and other attributes, is nearly or equally as important as theacquisition of technical skills by engineering students. By embedding entrepreneurship inengineering programs, students create personal, economic, and societal value. There is an overlapand logical fit between the outcomes of STEM programs and the skills

Changes are commonly met withresistance, but opposition can often be diffused if students have some say in the process.Creating an environment that is engaging and energizing will improve student’s understanding ofthe material and retention rates after transitioning into the work force. Although flippedclassrooms require an adjustment period, this learning approach allows instructors to preparestudents for problems outside the textbook.

Plane surveying, the determination of the location of points on or near the surface of the earth, is rapidly becoming a lost art in the civil engineering curriculum.

It looks at surveying field work in an historical perspective; to highlight changes in the art of surveying and how they have impacted both the teaching and practice of surveying, and to point out conceptual features of surveying field work and show how selected activities were particularly suited to teaching fundamental concepts applicable to a wide range of
