The need to understand how toproperly negotiate tenure and promotion given the interdisciplinarity of engineering education andthe culture and expectations of one’s broader institutional environment is a task that is made easierwhen connected to successes that have experience. Additionally, many researchers in the samplereported utilizing conferences as meeting grounds for ongoing projects or launchpads for newprojects.Although large conferences and workshops are an important asset of resource sharing

This brought the total number of flats inGrenfell Tower up to 127, and the number of bedrooms to 227. The original 1970s buildingwas built without cladding and was upgraded for heat insulation in 2016 with a rain claddingsystem added to the exterior, and the new windows located outside the plane of the originalconcrete wall panels. The over-cladding created vertical voids over the projecting structuralcolumns. There was no sprinkler system for firefighting, the stairwell was not pressurized andthe strategic advice to occupants was based on a Stay-In-Place advisory, due to the non-combustible construction and the presumption of adequate fire
workforce, forming collaborations with othercountries, and participating in global innovations. Achieving these goals requires “a broadeducation that incorporates a range of technical and social science and humanities knowledge,”“an appreciation for other cultures,” and “more ethical treatment of those who are different.”It is now becoming more widely acknowledged that engineering decisions require a sense ofsocial justice, fairness, and equality from a global perspective [18] [20] [21]. Responsible andwell-designed engineering projects, according to Baillie [20] are sensitive to the economic,social, and political factors at local and global levels.3.0 Machine-Based Assessment MethodsThe present paper considers machine methods for assessing changes
projects and students in a study group practicing solutions to challenging problems. The success of a team usually depends on the leadership, goal setting, task planning and other teamwork skills of its members.Note that these are not steps for engineering problem solving. Rather, they are the maincomponents or ingredients that are required to solve problems. In most problems, many of theSeven C’s will play a role, though perhaps not all of them at once.In addition to providing a framework for organizing new knowledge and skills, the structure andvocabulary of the Seven C’s can be used to identify specific areas of learning strength andweakness. A general statement such as, “I am not good at solving this type of problem” might bereplaced

Another important theme was dealing with bugs in the app. This app was a custom development project by our team, and we realize now the challenges of making an app that works on many different generations of both Android and iOS devices. This caused fatigue for users who were locked out of the app or ran into impassible obstacles for sometimes hours at a time. It seems that a few people had trouble understanding the use of the target and how it supported the augmented reality. In particular, one student completely misunderstood the app procedures

concrete pillars.6. AssessmentThe course assessment was done by pre- and post-surveys at the beginning and the end of thecourse. A screenshot of the complete survey is presented in Appendix-A. The questions weredeveloped in collaboration with the University of as a part of the grant.The questions 1-8 are similar as this will allow us to compare the responses across variousuniversities collaborating on the project. We have added the questions 9-11 to check the interestof the students in various disciplines as well as the overall interest of students in the CivilEngineering discipline (Question 10). Since some of the questions posed in the survey aresubjective, we believe it is beyond the scope of the conference paper to present the details of
learning, evidence of improved feedback practicescontinues to be missing [19]. For instance, a lack of alignment between formative andsummative assessment has been noted [20]. Performance based assessment has been extensivelystudied, in particular, the use of formative assessment tools such as rubrics to provide feedbackon student work [21]. However, rubrics are more commonly used on writing assignments, oropen-ended projects, such as design reports. Courses that emphasize content (i.e. facts, and theapplication of physical and mathematical concepts) are common in engineering curricula. Inmany engineering courses students are asked to solve closed-ended problems to demonstratetheir mastery of the material in these types of “fact and principle

Broad–shallow menu structures are better than narrow– eep ones because peoplecan quickly scan lists and choose an option rather than clicking through pages, especially whenthe list is hierarchical or alphabetical. [4] For example, instead of a single menu link for “CourseDocuments” with several folders for “homework,” “project materials,” “study guides,” and“lecture notes,” the menu should have one link per item, provided users do not have to scroll tosee the entire menu. Additionally, lines should separate menus items into logical units, forexample separating course documents from items like grades and the discussion boards.Text styles can affect page legibility and readability.

Finally, the paper concludes with a section describing options for implementing LON-CAPA at a new institution.IntroductionAlthough LON-CAPA is used fairly widely in the science fields, and by some in mathematics, itis not well known in engineering and engineering technology circles. This is the second in aseries of papers whose purpose is to get the word out to those communities about LON-CAPA’sbenefits and capabilities.The first paper started with an overview of LON-CAPA’s history, beginning with its inception in1992 as CAPA, a pilot project in a physics class at Michigan State University.

Many of thehands on discovery activities (HODAs) in this course, such as Dog Biscuits & See Saws andMoon Balls [11], bring into the forefront some of the numerous benefits of system games. Theactivities demonstrate the operation of system structures in a simplistic format and thereby aid inunderstanding complex systems [11]. HODAs are incalculably beneficial to the participants asthey provide the opportunities to test a number of problem-solving strategies in a short span oftime, whereas large scale projects have reaction times of many months and the solutions requiretime to implement.

Let me suggest that the reader consider the following scenario that I hopewill be helpful for the reader to better understand the concept of dominant images. Let usimagine a scenario in which a Chinese engineering professor meets an American colleague on aflight. If the Chinese professor is interested in learning more about American engineeringeducation and ask the American professor to summarize some major defining characteristics ofAmerican engineering education, it is probably not surprising to imagine that the Americanprofessor will talk about concepts such as student-centered, project
inclusion and train students to create inclusive teams. Optimaldistinctiveness theory (ODT) is the psychological theory that we initially deemed useful forunderstanding belonging and inclusion in groups [1], [2]. ODT posits that people feel satisfiedwhen the groups they identify with fulfill both their need for inclusion and their need fordifferentiation [1], [3].Based on faculty experiences supervising team projects, we hypothesized that some students whoare marginalized on the basis of race, gender, or other forms of identity often have unbalancedneed fulfilment due to excessive distinctiveness and minimal similarity [4], [5]. This situationthwarts their need for inclusion, and triggers the unpleasant feeling of not belonging [6]–[9

First it increases the assessment pool to provide more statisticalreliability. The target assessments are easily trackable due to a well-maintained archive ofexaminations for comparisons of different courses laterally, and/or testing retention of the sameconcept longitudinally over time. The examples below show some reinforced results from ESCCarchives. The examples demonstrate tracking of vectors and coordinates with relevance tomechanics courses which will lead to
