The objective of thisresearch paper was to showcase the energy saving elements used in an energy conscious single-family home design using 3D animation and virtual walkthrough. The model and animation canact as an excellent teaching tool to explain the various concepts integral to an energy consciousdesign, as the instructor would present the entire scheme in a virtual world so that the studentscan understand the concepts with more clarity and ease. The model would also help generateawareness among common people about energy conscious design as the web interface is easilyaccessible and user friendly

Then, at multiple points in the four-year program, Students work inindustry (a co-op assignment with an engineer's salary; a total of three co-ops is mandatory forgraduation) to apply their knowledge and build real work experience. Rather than focusing ondry theoretical topics separately, we teach engineering theory through an integrated and appliedapproach in system design, so Students learn how concepts work together - as they would in the"real world."Students also have team-oriented design experiences integrated throughout their curriculum

to support a change inthe K-12 curriculum in Singapore. A student’s motivation to pursue an engineering course, aswell as the experiences gained by a student from their home, school, neighborhood, andwork, can be shaped by their K-12 education. Integrating engineering education into K-12education in Singapore allows students to be exposed to the field of engineering from ayounger age. The benefit of this is twofold: firstly, students can gain a better understanding ofengineering, how it is applied in the real world, and why it is important. Secondly, studentscan gain greater confidence in their engineering skills and knowledge, regardless of theirbackground. As many students at the pre-university level in Singapore may feel that

While the Kolb cycle of Figure2 discusses the steps that an individual learner goes through, models such as Harre’s Vygotskycycle [12], Figure 3, integrate social aspects of learning. Here learners are explicitly assumed tobe interacting with other learners and the teacher as they go through various stages of learning.It is the social interaction and acceptance of others through which a learner comes to recognizethemselves as possessing knowledge which they can then pass on to others in turn.

technical rigor and DEI mutuallyenrich each other. It is worth emphasizing that the approaches detailed herein are meant tocomplement (not replace) the two broad categories of DEI practices described above.The central questions that motivate this work are: (1) “How can technical rigor and DEIprinciples be deeply integrated within an undergraduate computational science curriculum?”; and(2) “How does this integration affect students’ sense of inclusion, beliefs about their technicalmastery, and overall learning experience?”Before continuing, it is worth briefly noting that controversy exists around the phrase “technicalrigor”; in particular, this phrase has at times been used in engineering education to reinforceperverse dichotomies and justify

This work is of interest toadministrators and faculty looking to integrate different approaches to facilitate personal andprofessional growth and the expansion of empathy across engineering fields and in society.1 IntroductionWhile engineering is often focused on cultivating technical knowledge, competencies such ascommunication can also be important for students’ personal and professional growth. Along theselines, storytelling is considered valuable for students’ development and for the role it can play inpromoting an open dialogue with others [1]. It can encourage critical reflection and inquiry intoan individual’s lived experiences and can help to construct identity [2
