. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Inclusion of Sustainability Analysis in a National Airport Design CompetitionAbstractAirports are including sustainability in their long-range planning and yearly reports.Environmental concerns have long been a part of air transportation planning, airports are alsoincluding social, economic, and sometimes operational concerns in their sustainability planning.In the United States of America (US), the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), aprogram of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies of Sciences,Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), sponsors an airport design competition for university-level students each year

His academic research and writings have been on concrete repairs, structural plastics and flash track project management were funded by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Construction Industry Institute. Dr. Austin’s teaching and research interests cross the spectrum of the construction management, with a current focus on project management, construction equipment, planning and scheduling and research and teaching methodologies. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Paper ID #22689Tailoring Construction Management Instruction to the Emerging
” – those foundational concepts you want the students to retain even 2-3 years after they complete the course. What knowledge and skills (including critical thinking) should the students master? What is worthwhile for the students to know? What are the “big ideas” underlying the topic? Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence The educator determines what constitutes acceptable evidence for indicating those results have been achieved. In this approach the assessment is planned before the classroom instruction is planned. Stage 3: Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction The educator now plans the learning experiences and instruction to meet the goals.It is sometimes referred to as “backward design” because it

Nevertheless, Saudi Arabian, African, and Asianuniversities are also adopting lean principles in their practice6.Both newly developed and established administrative processes are potential opportunities forimprovements7. Most projects focus on operations such as financial transactions, facilitiesmanagement, human resources and library services. Based on documented results by earlyadopters in higher education, clear continuous improvement is part and parcel of organizationalstrategic planning and applied within daily operations at forward-thinking institutions.2Improvements from lean in higher education include reduction of waiting time for

The students enrolled in these courses are primarily computerengineering and computer science majors.The second set of participants are the project clients. Over the four years covered by this study,four different sets of clients were used. In 2014, the clients were engineering education studentsdeveloping materials in support of educational outreach activities. The software applicationswere designed to augment lesson plans developed as part of a series of teacher workshops thatthe students helped to deliver in the Dominican Republic. Due to the departure of the instructorleading the then-annual trips, in 2015 the

General course topicsinclude intermodal freight transportation; routing and scheduling; transportation of hazardousmaterials; inventory control; customer service; cargo inspection, processing and stowing; andshipment clearance.Related Competencies: Introduction to logistics and supply chain management topics includeaircraft loading; basic storage; cargo documentation; communication; hazardous materialtransportation; intermodal transportation; material handling; movement and distribution;movement of personnel, equipment, and supplies (planning, organizing, and
trouble for him and the whole JediOrder. Yoda earns positive scores in each of these areas. The authors agreed that Yoda’sorganization was neutral. While having a clear lesson plan that captured the attention of so manyvery young students is impressive, allowing Obi Won to interrupt is a significant, if important,distraction. The authors disagreed on how to assess Yoda’s communication. While clearlyengaging young students at a level they could understand, “Yoda speak” is confusing to many.Ultimately, the largest Star Wars nerd among the authors insisted this not count against Yoda andassigned a positive score. However, the debate highlights that different students view the sameactions differently. Thus, one’s place in Lowman’s Model is not

The sessions were loosely structured with planned prompts and activities, but withenough flexibility that facilitators could make decisions about adding new prompts or lettingstudents continue a conversation longer than intended. Ayush Gupta (Ayush) and DanielDilliplane (Dan) served as the facilitators for all the sessions. In addition to participating in thesesessions, students were given supplemental materials to read between many sessions and givenpost-session surveys. The first focus group session focused on students getting to know eachother, getting
traditionalDesign Bid Build (DBB) Project Delivery Methods (PDMs). The major differences between DBand DBB is that in a traditional DBB, owner first hires an architect to develop the architecturaldesign, and engineers to develop structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing plans, andspecifications. The project is, then issued for bid to hire a general contractor, usually using acompetitive low bid procurement process. However, this system has often proven to developadversarial relationships among the project participants, majorly attributed to the lack ofcontractor's input in the design process, leading to change orders. Since the design process iscompleted with no contractor input, the probability of disputes deriving from behavioral andtechnical

The significant time, effort, and planning required to restructure an entire course fromtraditional lecture-based to “flipped” can be prohibitive (or at least discouraging) for someuniversity instructors who may already have a full workload [15], [18]–[21]. In a “flipped” or“inverted” class, instructional content is delivered to students out of class (typically
engineers should be involved in its design or management. If they were, andtheir professional code of ethics was adequate and endorsed by the employer then the degreeof risk should be minimised provided they act as engineers and not business people as wasthe case with the Challenger disaster [7].As the discussion moves into the realm of regulatory requirements so it moves into the realmof technological literacy. It is clear from the ASH report and the Governments own expertgroup that the regulations were not fit for purpose. It also becomes clear that the failure ofEnglish society to protect the term “engineer” has contributed generally to the culture andconsequent deficiencies in the whole of the development, planning and construction
intervention. An example of this type of exclusion is a citationanalysis performed after an intervention with no baseline or other comparison. Overall, theauthors note the EIL literature frequently reports descriptive statistics, showing that data hasbeen gathered, but sometimes falls short of a full analysis that allows the researchers to drawmeaningful/well-grounded conclusions from the data. The authors plan to complete a fullanalysis of the papers identified for inclusion and publish the results in a journal article.References[1] C. Torgeson, J. Hall, and K.
