A two-sample t-test assuming unequal variance was used to compare the two groups.Open ended survey questions were analyzed by performing a content analysis. Each responsewas entered into a computer software, then codes were assigned to the response inductively. Theinitial codes were later condensed into fewer codes based on program learning outcomes. Directquotations of responses that are provided in this document are verbatim to illustrate the responsesby theme.Class activitiesA one credit class was used to provide interaction between the students, time for assignments anddeliver course content.

She holds her Civil Engineering degrees from Vir- ginia Tech and North Carolina State University. Her disciplinary research primarily involves the use and monitoring of geosynthetic materials (polymeric materials) incorporated into Civil Engineering Structures including roadways and earth retaining structures. She is currently
the need to trainour students to be effective collaborators and seek to integrate teamwork in their curriculum [5]. Despite encouraging students to work in teams, faculty rarely teach in teams inconstruction higher education. Faculty collaboration may occur in research endeavors, but teamteaching is not often employed on a large scale in R1 (very high research activity) institutionsand other peer institutions. This happens despite previous research showing the benefits of teamteaching to students [6]. A few published exceptions of team teaching in construction programsare Ball State University [7], [8], Colorado State University [9] and Purdue University [10].From these, only Jones and Mezo [8] provide a brief insight into faculty
,supported by the Helmsley Charitable Trust. The meeting was attended by fourteen institutions,including four with existing programs. Meeting attendees identified elements key to the VIPmodel [6]: 1. Projects are based on faculty mentor’s scholarship and exploration. 2. Projects are long-term and large-scale, continuing for many years, even decades. 3. Program is curricular and all participating students are graded (A-F; not P/F or S/U). 4. Students can participate and earn credits toward their degrees for at least two years. 5. Learning outcomes focus on the development of both disciplinary and professional skills. 6. Multi-disciplinary teams are encouraged but not required. 7. Dedicated classroom

Aswith the pre-travel learning activities, none were rated as "not at all useful" and participantsagain showed a preference for actively constructing knowledge rather than passively absorbinginformation however this preference was less pronounced than with pre-travel activities (seeTable 6).

in Wildpoldsried, thisshift in the ownership form is driven by a strong desire for energy independence and localcommunity engagement.Similarly, district heating systems are often run by German municipal utilities to benefit the localcommunity. This facilitates increased efficiency of power production using combined heat andpower (CHP) and large-scale thermal energy storage. Germany powers CHP units with fossilfuels (coal and natural gas), but increasingly these units are being converted to run with biomassand biogas fuel sources. The participants learned about district heating provided by renewablebiomass and biogas power plants in Freiburg and Wildpoldsried and were also able to visit alarge scale solar thermal seasonal energy storage

This way, the instructional unit can bridge the gapbetween textbook knowledge and real-world applications. The high school students will learn theselected concept in the context of manufacturing industry through simulation and automationhands-on experimentation. This paper introduces the RET program at the Penn State Behrend’s site. We will start witha program description, the research and curriculum design components, followed by curriculumimplementation and evaluation status to date. A reflection on lessons learned will also be shared.2. RET Program DescriptionThe RET program recruits 13 teachers and community college faculty each year from

experiences in which theypractice solving real-world problems, using industry-grade tools, and communicating with coworkers andcustomers may be an effective way to develop these skills. 4) Prevalence of CSE Internships: Universities implement a variety of approaches to address this need:some are incorporating real-world projects into their courses [21], creating on-campus centers wherestudents work on projects for real clients [22], encouraging student participation in internship programs[23], or even creating programs that combine undergraduate research with industry internships [24]. Allthese experiences provide students with additional preparation for careers in CSE beyond what is offeredin academic courses. Such experiential learning experiences

Some authors havereported that their accreditation organization more or less standardizes their instructional practices(things such as the textbook that must be followed; the lesson plan that must be followed; etc.)to a large extent (e.g., NCAAA in KSA). In some cases, some additional outcomes are added.Washington Accord (WA) recommends a set of 12 Graduate Attributes (GA)3 —see Table VI—which have been adopted in many places
