different models of interpretation. Finally, homework is an assimilativeexperience where the student reflects on learning and practices integrative thinking.Table 1 - Kolb Learning StylesConverging The dominant learning abilities are Abstract Conceptualization (AC) and Active(AC+AE)/2 Experimentation (AE). People with this learning style are best at finding practical uses for ideas and theories. They have the ability to solve problems and make decisions based on finding solutions to questions or problems. In formal learning situations, people with this style prefer to experiment with new ideas, simulations, laboratory assignments, and practical applications.Assimilating The dominant
alternatives to prevalent educationalpractices. For example, a variety of educational approaches were presented in the plenarysession of the 2011 ASEE annual conference. Examples of some of the approaches presentedincluded active learning, formative assessment as a strategy to support learning, and problem-based learning. Each description of an approach included a summary of research-based evidenceon specific educational impacts. The National Science Foundation, which funds projects forimproving STEM education through its Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement(CCLI) and Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) programs, has sponsoredforums in which panels of practitioners and scholars were commissioned to investigate the issueof
areas appropriate to civil engineering; conduct civil engineering experiments and analyze and interpret the resulting data; design a system, component, or process in more than one civil engineering context; explain basic concepts in management, business, public policy, and leadership; and explain the importance of professional licensure.For the four-year civil engineering technology graduate, the program criteria include3 – o utilize principles, hardware, and software that are appropriate to produce drawings, reports, quantity estimates, and other documents related to civil engineering; o conduct standardized field and laboratory tests related to civil engineering; o utilize surveying methods appropriate for land measurement
, space and laboratory design, andassessment and accreditation efforts. Specifically, because the Department of Engineering and its student body are in the founding phase,applicants should be prepared for and excited about the extra opportunities and challenges that this start-up process necessarily entails.Applicants should have a Ph.D. in an engineering or complementary discipline.What To Submit - Interested applicants should apply via the University’s career website at: http://www.wfu.careers/. The application shouldbe submitted as ONE PDF file and include the following: (1) a cover letter that addresses the applicant’s motivation to be a founding facultymember, personal values in alignment with the department values, and vision for building a
centers for students, including the NationalDigital Design and Manufacturing Innovation Center, the National EngineeringResearch Center for Manufacturing Equipment Digitalization, the National KeyLaboratory of Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment and Technology, and the DigitalEquipment Industrial Design Laboratory of the School of Mechanical Science andEngineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, to provide guaranteefor students' practice. In addition, various engineering education practice projectshave been set up for students, including HUST-WPI engineering practice project,practical innovation experimental class, etc. Students
, involving for example site-visits,are often culturally inappropriate, a factor which further enhances the attraction of onlinework.There are six universities in Gaza, five of which offer courses in Engineering. Three of thesecourses take place in mixed-gender classrooms, though at IUG, students are taught in single-sex classes, with separate classrooms in separate buildings; laboratories are shared, but withdifferent time-slots. Female students are taught by both males and females, but femaleteachers can only teach female students (which therefore creates significant workloadproblems for female lecturers, who are required to teach more courses per semester than theirmale counterparts). This study does not present any viewpoint on the respective

. UMD is located in a smallcommunity in the southeastern part of the state. Most of its students are first generationcollege students, many are from the Portuguese minority community in the region, andmost live at home, balancing academic coursework and employment in order to assisttheir families in paying for their studies. The typical UMD freshman has an average SATscore of 1110 and an average high school grade point average of 2.8. The College ofEngineering houses six academic programs, four of which are in engineering, one inphysics, and one in textile sciences. UMD admits about 250 freshmen into engineeringeach year.The FC program at UMD is known as IMPULSE (Integrating Mathematics, Physics,Undergraduate Laboratory Science, and Engineering
