Thesubsequent two months of class time are used for students to work on their design projects,including group deliverables and presentations. In the final two weeks of the course, studentsdeliver individual presentations on the civil engineering/construction management major or field.Socio-technical design challengesThe course was structured as two group-based design challenges that each took one month tocomplete. Each challenge was structured in a series of deliverables that were worked on as ateam to address research of the problem, design and test of a proposed solution, stakeholder andcustomer analysis, proposal of design solution that integrated

Data analysis involves employing specific procedures for the establishedquestionnaires, with Pearson's correlation coefficient applied to the section developed in theresearch. The data are exported to statistical software for analysis. Quality of Research: Theresearch's quality is buttressed by the validity of the instrument, evaluated through expertjudgment, and reliability assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The instrument's reliability isset at a high level (0.887), indicating internal consistency. Despite adhering to ethical protocols,the study's limitations include the potential for bias in participants' responses and the limitedgeneralizability of results

With a background in public policy, he takes his ethical stances into conversations around tough issues to make sure all voices are included. In his professional life, Carr has convened numerous diversity leadership forums in STEM education – bringing together over 100 deans and diversity administrators to talk about underrepresented students persistence, diverse faculty recruitment, and creating inclusive campus climates. Carr has also been a champion for access to opportunities for those from historically oppressed groups. He worked to see outreach efforts exponentially expand to Historically Black Colleges and

It is important to mention that we secured ethical clearance through our IRB office(IRB # 22-379). Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and some of theresponses were analyzed by different variables to see if there were any importantdifferences to show between participants. Qualitative focus group data was analyzed bymemoing and coding strategies. Demographic and company-related data are presented next.

Because a significant challenge faced by SBP participants is a sense ofdeep scrutiny from faculty, [85] it may be particularly helpful to integrate opportunities forpositive, low-stress interactions into math-intensive SBPs. Research RecommendationsThis study confirms the findings of a previous review of SBPs, which found that, given howcommon SBPs are, there is relatively little research on their outcomes. [3, 4] Further, the findingsof this review match those of Lee et al., [86] who found that most published reports related toSBPs are more akin to experience or evaluation reports than to formal research studies, and
presented as an in-class activity during one of the 65-minute lectureperiods. There are usually two sections of the class offered every year with between 15 and 25students per section. In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material. Students who are interested in any of the topics are encouraged toseek out additional courses or minors in the area of interest. The following modules are thereforeintended to

Subsequently, students collaborate with industrialengineers to explore opportunities for deploying the solutions at a working level and scale upthe findings to incorporate the use of industrial-grade robotic arms in industrial operations.In the pursuit of professional practices in industrial collaborations, students surpass merehands-on knowledge application. These collaborations cultivate teamwork, effectivecommunication, and project management skills, offering insights into industry dynamics,regulations, and ethical considerations. The experience encourages adaptability andinnovation, fostering creative problem-solving. In addition to technical competence, studentsestablish a professional network, contributing to comprehensive

responsibilities and qualifications (n=29)In terms of qualifications, given that these roles seem to interface with internal and externalclients, communication (n=21) is the most demanded skill, followed closely by general computerskills (n=20) and interpersonal skills (n=18). Leadership is required for 12 positions and seem tobe mostly aligned with those that focus clearly on lean and change management. About one thirdof the positions also highlighted the need for sound ethical principles (n=10) and databaseknowledge or management (n=12). Moreover, despite several positions being lean-focused, theknowledge of lean tools is only required by four job postings, suggesting that employersunderstand they might need to train employees for these roles.Innovation
ethical researchprotocols, the researchers employed a multifaceted approach to ensure the transparency of thefindings presented in this study. This included utilizing well-validated measures throughout thestudy to enhance reliability and conducting inter-rater reliability checks to guaranteeconsistency in data collection. To further strengthen the validity of their conclusions, the studyincorporated triangulated data from multiple sources, including one-on-one interviews and athorough review of relevant academic scholarly journals.Results The following four themes emerged from the data analyses and in-depth case studyinterviews. First, institutional support and leadership commitment via female STEMmentorship programs appear to be pivotal factors

Four datasets were analyzed: two for Exam 1 (2022 Fall and 2023Spring) and two for Exam 2 (2022 Fall and 2023 Spring). These datasets contain aggregated itemanalysis reports that summarize question-level metrics such as Correct Ratio, Difficulty Index, andPoint Biserial correlations. No individual student information was included, ensuring the analysiswas entirely anonymized and ethically sound.The 2022 Fall data represent baseline student performance prior to the implementation of anyenhanced teaching strategies.
