A unique requirement of the course is the completion of cross-disciplinary design project with two other courses offered during the same semester. The designaspect requires students to prepare detailed construction cost estimates that are properly indexedand identify applicable planning components, benefits of alternatives based on engineeringeconomic principles, and determine essential project activities and completion times utilizingproject-scheduling procedures. This approach has worked well because it provides theappropriate breadth and depth in project management and construction principles as well asdesign concepts for successful

It is left for instructors to unpack these conceptsfor students, but in an overloaded and fast-moving engineering curriculum that prioritizestechnical knowledge, consideration of societal impacts is often dealt with cursorily orunacknowledged. Sustainable community development projects provide a way to involvestudents in the process of conscientiously factoring context into technical solutions and workingdirectly with the people affected by engineering work; however, as we’ll explore in the nextsection

, there is an imperative need for engineering faculty to adapt newinstructional strategies that can help students to effectively regulate their learning motivation,strategies, and efforts, particularly at their early learning stages.Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) has been research subject and educational practice in the contextof Educational Psychology. SRL involves self-monitoring and self-correction of threecomponents of learning: motivation, behavior, and cognition. It refers to active learning guidedby three important aspects of learning: (1) motivation to learn; (2) metacognition (awareness ofone’s knowledge and beliefs); and (3) strategic action (planning, evaluating, and acting). Oneimportant aspect in SRL is to regulate the learners

ThePRIDE framework for time management consists of five components: Priorities, Reflection,Implementation, Deadlines, and Emotions. These five components are considered when makingdecisions about individual tasks and setting plans for each day, week, or semester, or for acomplex project.The audience of this paper includes new faculty, faculty at all experience levels who are lookingto tune-up their time management practices, and faculty who have assumed additionaladministrative roles.Introduction and BackgroundTime management is as

The instructional team emphasizes self-awareness and personal motivations andhelps students build those insights into a Personal Development Plan that is revised throughoutthe semester. We then work on interpersonal skills: communication, empathy, service,collaboration, conflict negotiation, constructive discontent and influence. EEI concludes

Thesequestions or ideas were discussed within the teams. At the end, each team selected thequestions or hypotheses they would research and elaborated an experimentation plan toverify or refute the questions. The teams recorded their proposals in logs, shared theirproposals with the class to further their discussion, and submitted copies for review andfeedback. Over time, these proposals evolved into the students’ final research proposals(see below).The next
