They see a need to reachdifferent styles of learners, to make each student into an independent learner. They suggest a newapproach, based on experiential learning proposed by D. A. Kolb.Kolb observed patterns of learning new concepts. An immediate experience creates in the learnera need for learning. This is accomplished by reflective observation of the experience. This isassisted by the teacher via the introduction of new concepts (or by the new application of oldconcepts) that integrate this new experience into what the learner already knows. This becomesan

The majority of students were pleased with the project structure,though a few suggested that the project duration within the instrumentation and data acquisitioncourse be extended to at least six weeks instead of the currently allocated four weeks.Qualitative feedback from students is presented below through their comments.

past several decades, there has been an increasing emphasis on the importance of engineerspossessing important professional skills, including global readiness or awareness. In 2004, theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) described the Engineer of 2020 as being proficient in“interdisciplinary teams [with] globally diverse team members” (p. 55).1 As the NAE stated,“While certain basics of engineering will not change, the global economy and the way engineerswill work will reflect an ongoing evolution that began to gain momentum a decade ago.” (p. 4).Engineering graduates will be called to solve increasingly global problems and to work in teamsthat contain members who are either from international locations or are globally distributed.Across the

The RLAB infrastructure has been ported to a mechanicallaboratory site at University of North Florida (UNF), Jacksonville, during the past two years andis now used in its engineering curriculum, thereby offering access to some further real worldmodels and gaining synergy from an international cooperation. To properly run such remote laboratory several aspects need to be considered. New usersneed to be registered at the system. The availability of experiments needs to be managed. Forinteractive work with one of the experiments, time slots need to be reserved in advance, and theattempt to access the experiments must be verified against the reservations.

We can also study correlation, ifany, between resources in use and performance at the examination.In general, students and even many faculty members are not sufficiently information literate – they do notknow sources of information and optimum ways to access them.

Their conventional view was thatmathematical theorems could not be proved with pictures and so visualizations were dangerous.The fears of mathematicians, the constructions of Cantor and Dedekind, were rarely confrontedby engineering students who needed to become more familiar with continuous and smoothfunctions. I tried to rely on Russian books1, which were more likely to contain pictures and bedescriptive, to gain mathematical insight. I do not believe that my fellow math majorsconfronted the questions that were in my mind as an engineer. By

This led to the formation of the Related Accreditation Commission(RAC), which began to function during 1984-1985.

In construction engineering education, the curriculum ranges from the means andmethods for a construction process, to line items required for estimating a task, the time it takesto schedule an activity, to the required temporary structures for the completion of a constructionproject. As such, faculty should be engaging with a variety of learning styles in developing theirclass activities. Students in Construction Management/Engineering, and Architecture programsgenerally prefer two learning styles; visual and kinesthetic [1]. For this reason, the researchersdecided to develop an educational prop to instruct the means and methods required to construct aone-story concrete building, focusing on formwork, and placement of reinforcement
