Villanova UniversityAbstractProject management has become a standard practice in the fields of engineering,construction, and information technology, greatly reducing the number of failed projects.While fundamental technical content takes up the bulk of the typical undergraduateengineering curriculum, the capstone design project is an excellent opportunity to teachproject management principles through a project-based learning experience. While mostprograms include project management topics in capstone lectures few programs activelypromote applied project management. A few institutions have taken a more formal approachby creating dedicated project management courses or incorporating substantial projectmanagement materials in an existing course

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Extended ANSAC Assessment Requirements for Some Soft Skills for Construction Management ProgramsAbstractConstruction engineers and managers work cooperatively with many professionals and workers toimplement designs. So, it is logical to teach construction students in a group environment. Also, mostconstruction students have natural talents to learn effectively in an applied atmosphere. However,assessing individual learning in a group and in active learning mode needs special techniques. Assessmentprovides an environment for constant improvement. A good assessment incorporates complex thinkingand problem solving
efforts, both design andairworthiness engineering considerations are critical to ensure safety of flight. Engineers musthave the airworthiness education and experience necessary to assure safety of flight for pilots,passengers, people, and property overflown as well as to provide mission success. Safeguardingthe critical supplies and cargo that aircraft carry and ensuring it is delivered to where it is neededis vital to every humanitarian mission.2 Need for Airworthiness EducationEngineers and professionals who understand the science of airworthiness are critical to safety,functionality, and certification of aircraft. Until recently, training in airworthiness engineeringwas accomplished through company and agency training programs, mentorship

engineering technology degree programs alsoface similar questions as to how their program differs from engineering programs. The answersto these questions are invariably that engineering technology programs are based on the practicalapplication of engineering with graduates working to support licensed engineers/architects. Inaddition, engineering programs are theory and design based with graduates focused on designingand managing projects [1]. Students enrolled in Architectural Engineering Technology Programswho plan to become registered architects face an additional challenge however depending on thestate that they plan to seek licensure. Unlike other engineering technology programs andengineering programs which are both accredited by ABET, Bachelor

toclean water and sanitation in the community of San Pablo, Belize in 2000 [1]. This experiencemotivated him to engage engineering students in the design and deployment of clean watersystems in this rural community. He was further inspired to launch the Engineers withoutBorders organization in 2002 [1]. Most of the opportunities focused in the water, sanitation andhygiene (WASH) areas and primarily attracted civil and mechanical engineering students inglobal development projects. The first humanitarian engineering minor program was started atthe Colorado School of Mines in 2003 [2]. Again, the engineering majors who were primarilyattracted to this program were civil and mechanical engineers. Water distribution projects havebeen designed by US

Furthermore, looking toward the ensuing summer session and fall 2020semester, CAL developed a Blackboard-based workshop to train faculty to the level of “OnlineTeaching Certification” (OTC). This training was made mandatory for all UDC faculty under anewly designated “Emergency Remote Instruction” (ERI) mode. Most faculty utilized virtualconference software and email to continue engagement and communication with learners, movedcourse materials and submissions to an online management platform, and created and usedexisting videos and resources to deliver information.

Freshmen had a combination of individual and team assignments togain knowledge in both health inequity and the design process. Throughout the semester,students heard lectures from guest speakers and clinicians on a variety of topics relating to healthinequity and/or the design process including: Health Inequity in the Emergency Room, theDesign Process, Empathy in Design, Ethics in Engineering Design, Ensuring Diversity inClinical Trials, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship. The course also included discussions oncase studies in ethics with faculty mentors and a design project utilizing

researchers have also examined the applicability ofusing the concept of adaptive expertise to gauge student development in undergraduate CAD anddesign courses (Kuo, 2018; Ramos Barbero, 2018).K-12 Teacher Training: In the context of K-12 teacher training, adaptive expertise was used byresearchers examining a 6-week program to prepare veteran math/science teachers to teach highschool design engineering (Martin, 2015). Their hypothesis was that these math and scienceteachers were traditionally trained to instruct students using the rote problem-solving techniquesthat are typical of a traditional curriculum. As such they would benefit from the perspective ofadaptive expertise in expanding their ability to apply this knowledge in innovative ways and

toengineering students. More often than not engineering students take ethics-based courses in theirjunior year or later. Also, in many cases, such GER courses teach ethics based on fundamentaltheory and students cannot always connect it to engineering practice easily. To address this issue,many engineering course instructors have successfully introduced ethics-based learning modulesin their courses, including introductory first-year courses. The authors have developed and taughtan introduction to engineering design course to students in the general engineering program at theNew Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

Through use of a core project that thematically ties this course together, studentsdevelop a knowledge base and technical skillset in valuable engineering skills such as projectlayout, data management and sharing, spatial analysis, and graphical communication for reportsand visualizations. Additionally, students learn basic programming skills in Python,complementing their GIS skillset with computational analyses that can enhance workflow andefficiency. The nature of the course encourages self-learning and independence. This GIS coursemay serve as a model for future software-based
