In a major ($1M+, NSF) curriculum reform and engineering education research project from 2004 to 2009, he led a team of engineering and education faculty to reform engineering curriculum of an engineering department (Biological Systems Engineering) using Jerome Bruner’s spiral curriculum theory. Currently, Dr. Lohani leads an NSF/REU Site on ”interdisciplinary water sciences and engineering” which has already graduated 56 excellent undergraduate researchers since 2007. This Site is renewed for the third cycle which will be implemented during 2014-16. He also leads an NSF/TUES type I project in which a real-time environmental monitoring lab

Our educational program in nanotechnologywill also reach out to high school (K9-K12) and graduate students.In the development of an educational program for introducing nanotechnology to undergraduate(UG) students majoring in STEM at the New Jersey Institute of Technology

not unusual for discrepancies to exist when a senior plans to spendan extra semester or year as an undergraduate or when a graduating student completed therequired senior course in a previous term.Administering the survey in the month prior to commencement, while the students are still oncampus and in contact with their faculty members, obviously allows for increased opportunitiesfor contact and leverage, both increasing response rate. The disadvantage is that some studentswill not seek or obtain placement until after commencement. Thus, surveys administered sixmonths after commencement, a common practice, will typically always report higher placementthan those administered on campus before students leave. However, response rates are

However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present. However, at a detailed level, construction projects all essentiallyunique, owing to differences in local soil

As a result, the 4-page report for evaluation is made different from the final report inthe sense that, the former is accomplished strictly using one approach, whereas the latter mightbe impacted by both approaches. By doing so, we intended to reach a subtle balance betweenteaching two approaches separately for the comparison purpose and combining them together inthe interest of student’s learning.3.3 Design evaluation:A total of 36 graduate
