and retention13,14,15,16.Ethics education may improve if multiple methods of disseminating ethics, including activelearning, are used throughout the civil engineering curriculum.To improve understanding of the many ethical issues students may face as practicing engineers,we developed ethics modules in four civil engineering classes at the University of Portland (UP).Some modules involved active learning, whereas others were traditional writing assignments. As 1 a result, students receive some sort of ethics instruction at least one time per year throughout their four years at UP. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of integrating ethics across the civil engineering curriculum at UP

Best practices are highlighted with descriptionsof the technologies and techniques that were found most promising.IntroductionThe past 20 years were dominated by technological advances, but many modern classrooms arerun the same as they were in the 1990s. An overarching goal of educational institutions is tomaximize the quantity, quality, and accessibility of education for their students [1], [2]. There iscurrently a gap between the technologies available and the ways they are implemented toimprove education accessibility [3]. This “tech-lag” is an opportunity and necessity for collegeseverywhere to close the gap and create classrooms with diverse access points to learning,increasing each student’s chance for academic and professional

learningbehavior and patterns unique to computer programming [1-4]. Within the context of anintroductory programming course, choosing the most effective teaching method can bechallenging. The analogy of learning a new language is sometimes used to describe the types ofskills that are needed to communicate with a computer. Language pedagogy may provevaluable in introductory programming courses. Current practices in language instruction advisedeductive teaching for simple rules and less skilled learners, versus inductive teaching forcomplex rules and more skilled learners [5]. Deductive teaching begins with a general rule oftheory presented by the instructor, followed by specific examples and practice problems.Inductive teaching begins with specific

machine learning, the creation of content at the overlapof these two areas offers several opportunities for education and research. Machine learning [1]promises to solve several problems in solar energy generation including a) fault detection [2,3,4,5],b) shading prediction [6], and c) topology optimization [7,8,9]. Preparing students early in their plansof study to tackle these problems requires: a) training in machine learning, b) exposition to solarenergy systems simulation [10], c) skill building in terms of developing or using software to integratemachine learning to obtain solar system analytics and control the overall system [11].

These children have parents who file for a conscientious exemption to vaccines orare more colloquially known “anti-vaxxers.” [2]. While this figure only represents 1.07% of thestudent body of Texas, a closer analysis shows the heterogenous composition of unvaccinatedstudents in schools. Austin, Texas presents an interesting case where schools range invaccination rates

recognized that all their communication skills were a work inprogress mirroring the initial course message that engineers need to be lifelong learners. Withthis understanding, we hope that they would pursue other opportunities to sharpen theircommunication skills.IntroductionThe three pillars of communication are considered to be one of the important professional skillsin engineering practice [1]. They are reported to be even more important than technical skills [2].Graphical communication, one of the pillars that is unique to the engineering practice, coverstechnical requirements of drawing and visual skills. Most students have shown to struggle inpresenting and understanding, graphically, ideas that require high visualization skills [3
