research has documented the relationship between the efficacy of internships in constructionor engineering (Laxman et al. 2005 and Moore and Plugge 2008). However, little research has focusedon the relationship between the availability of paid internships and the economy. There is plenty ofresearch available on job rates and the economy in general (BLS 2020), however there is no researchpublished that reflects the relationship between internships and the economy. In the past recession, jobloss has caused some employed to return to university as non-traditional students (Barr and Turner2013). It is not yet known if that same non-traditional population will return to university while courseshave shifted to an online format. Perceptions of student

. A greater reliance upon online instruction requires a commensurateincrease in collaborative interaction. Palloff and Pratt recognize that an effective online model,“includes deliberate attempts to build community as a means of promoting collaborativelearning” [16]. Collaborative learning promotes a social presence and promotes independentlearning. “The instructor in an online class is responsible for facilitating and making room for thepersonal and social aspects of an online community so social presence can emerge and make theclass a successful learning experience” [16].Teachers can apply several techniques to build community. The online activities are moreeffective when treated as collaborative information seeking behaviors and reflective

traditional design studio consists of ateacher telling students what to do and student doing what they are told, other formats have student takingthe lead with the critique being the main feedback mechanism for what to further explore (Hassanpour etal. 2010). Part of this reflection comes from classical training of architects and the experience imparted tostudents by their design instructors. Rarely are these instructors are experts on educational theories. Theexperience of the faculty may or may not align with the projects and thus, a disconnect exists (Goldschmidtet al. 2010). Hence, a need has been recognized for moving beyond a trial-and-error approach to design byadapting to more systematic iterations (Wang 2010). There have been educational

crucial at the start of theprogram, and do not come as naturally when online. The event drew a large crowd, withnearly 100% of the 124 students participating and dozens of volunteers coming from variousgroups (students, faculty, and industry), and was shown to be well-received by the results ofsurveys. The paper concludes with a reflection of the perceived successes and challenges ofthe event. Also, recommendations are discussed in the context of the virtual event platform,which can be extended to general AE online learning.1.0 IntroductionIn 2018, a design-build activity was held during the first two days of fall semester for the firstcohort of a newly-established Architectural Engineering (AE) program at the University ofWaterloo (UW).

A majority of 61.98% (n=75) score this interaction with thehighest score, we obtain that results tend to the lower half of the scale more than any otherquestion before, but we can still observe that the results are overall positive.

System, they do not think their faculty helped use it. A similar divide was identifiedin the students' perceptions of online classes. Respondents stated they did not enjoy the onlinecourses but felt like the online teaching was successful. In response to the perception of adaptation,respondents identified that they and their faculty adapted, with faculty to a lesser extent. Thus,students' perceptions reflect they are comfortable in an online learning environment but do notprefer it. The responses also indicate that students perceive that they may be better in the onlineenvironment and adapting to it than their faculty. This might be an expected outcome as facultyare older and perceived as slightly less capable of technology and adaptability

thought through.After specifying every material used in each BIM model with every unique material condition, Tally wasready for the second round of assumed variables. For the sake of time, these variables were largely left attheir generic values, but they were no less critical to accurate results of a real-life scenario. Tally’s abilityto accurately assess “cradle to grave” carbon impact becomes quite evident in this set of global variablesthat apply to each project. If desired, the travel distance of each material can be clarified to reflect a true-to-life analysis of transportation on carbon required for construction, and inputs for building lifedemonstrate the environmental impacts upon demolition of the structure. All these variables were

Thematic coding will be usedto analyze the open-ended questions.ConclusionThe Engineering Education Pilot program described in this paper aims to produce data that willinform one another to understand how this intervention is able to provide supports for students’career pathways. In this paper, we outline the theoretical bases for this work, SCCT, and IBM.Together, these frameworks inform the types of interventions to be implemented with 8 th-gradestudents in low-income areas.

, stereotype attitude, organizational culture, working environment, and jobrecruitment issues [6], [22]. Not only that, some studies on the women working in constructionshow that the majority of them work in secretarial or office positions than in the field [6], [13].Expanding further on issues of underrepresentation, in the study conducted by Fielden, et. al[13], it is reported that the construction industry has a poor image and the workers are consideredas ‘cowboys’ creating a macho stereotype. Sadly, the view of construction as a “man’s world” isstill reflected even in recent studies of women participation in construction [23]. Coupled withthat, women’s social image as being delicate and sensitive deters girls from considering pursuinga career in
