AbstractIn Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), dynamic modulus |E*| is identified asa key property for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Determining |E*| in the laboratory requires several daysof sophisticated testing procedures and expensive instruments. To bypass the long testing time,sophisticated testing procedure, and expense, several multivariate regression analysis-based modelshave been developed to predict

IntroductionThe students of the Structural Analysis and Design program at University of Houston-Downtown,receive their instructions throughout lectures, laboratory practices, and software applications. Thesoftware used for teaching consists in customized spreadsheets and professional versions of advancedfinite element analysis software.

Rather than identifying a small selective number ofstudents to work in a laboratory doing undergraduate research, the CURE model exposes anentire lecture or lecture plus lab course to research providing research experiences to all students.EM has shown to enhance student learning through supporting individual agency and self-efficacy leading to retention and persistence in STEM fields [10]. The Network for TeachingEntrepreneurship (NFTE) defines EM as: Entrepreneurial mindset is simply the way an entrepreneur thinks and acts.

This four-credit hour (ch) course consists of a 3ch lectureand a 1ch laboratory. During the Fall 2021 semester, the course was offered face-to-face oncampus. To increase the accessibility to the lectures for those students not able to attend them inperson due to COVID issues, the authors developed the course more like a “blended” experience,using Blackboard platform to post lectures, course materials, instructional aids, and
