In the next step, the results were organized based on the sections of thesurvey. The findings of this study provide insight into gender-based perceptions of constructionstudents which can be used by construction educators and administrators in designing modulesand strategies to recruit students more effectively.BackgroundGender has shaped college enrollment trends for a very long time. Studying these trends is anopportunity to not only learn how to get more people in colleges, but also to get more people intospecific fields of study.

as addressing the challenge ofbridging the gap between aspirational goals, practical limitations of technology, and students’knowledge base. This mismatch is often one of the reasons for a “hump”- a phase where studentsoften face discouragement and lose motivation. However, overcoming this “hump” is crucial forstudents to truly understand the concepts they are working with and learn how to deal withsimilar situations in the future. This paper aims to give a detailed view into the learning process,triumphs, and pitfalls of an undergraduate student to allow educators to more effectively helptheir students. 1.

’ fast adoption of innovative and available new technologies. Agrowing concern for engineering instructors and among college writing instructors is that ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) being widely available to students. Although these technologies arenot a main topic of the work presented here, they can potentially impact the teaching of technicalwriting and the assessment of student outcomes, as well as engineering teaching in general. AI asa tool for text development and even to produce numerical solutions to textbook-type problems isknown and is getting more powerful. But it is not clear how capable AI is of correctly handlinggraphical information and integrating it with text. Therefore, its use by students to generatetechnical reports could

through pre-class interaction with course materials whileuncovering hidden thought processes to guide the design of skill-focused in-class activities.Implementation of pre-class pedagogical approaches such as pre-class quizzes and exercises,flipped classrooms, and just-in-time teaching (JiTT) demonstrate positive impacts on studentperformance, student engagement, conceptual understanding, and long-term retention [1]-[4].Grounded in cognitive load and constructivist learning theories, these approaches break downcomplex topics into smaller, manageable ‘chunks’ while providing a contextualized foundationfor learning [5]-[6]. Reduced cognitive load minimizes stress on students and generates apositive environment for student participation on topics

LessonsAbstractEducators must prepare the next generation of engineers who will inherit a world that will bedifferent from the present. Research shows that Civil Engineering students often lack sufficienttraining in climate science. To be successful, graduates need training in evaluating hazards fromextreme winds, waves, and rain, and understanding climate change risks. At The Citadel, climatechange impacts are integrated into several lessons in an introductory Geotechnical Engineeringcourse. This paper demonstrates how climate change education can be integrated across thecurriculum by redesigning lessons using backward design and implementing active pedagogies,including pre-lesson, in-class, and post-lesson activities. In addition, it will provide insights

Other contexts and facets of student perceptions include biases [11], [12], teacherhumor and classroom climate [13], use of social media in teaching [14], and teachingeffectiveness, which large part of the research focuses on teaching evaluations [15], [16], [17].Although research on student perceptions of instructors’ or teachers’ behaviors is abundant andhas shown to be capable of shaping student outcomes, scholarship on student perceptions ofinstructors’ teaching beliefs or intentions is generally scarce in engineering education. From themotivation perspective, especially motivation to learn, understanding perceptions of beliefs orintentions can be important in shaping learning. In the Situated Expectancy Value

technologies, ultimately leading to a richer learningexperience for students.Introduction & Literature‘Internship’ is a word typically reserved for undergraduate and graduate students, but seldom is itused in the context of faculty. Student internships generally serve as a link between theclassroom and the profession, but they also engage industry and faculty [1], just not in the directsense. The symbiotic relationship between theoretical knowledge and practical application hasalways been its cornerstone in higher education. Similarly, the relationship between constructionprograms and industry is a foundation for this symbiotic relationship, with industry learning fromacademia and vice versa.Construction programs have traditionally valued industry

A good understanding ofTuckman’s Five Stages of Team Development can prepare future project engineers for healthyconflicts, disagreements, and good followership which can positively influence project success.Emotional Intelligence (EI)EI is a topic of discussion in psychology, education, sports, and organizational management [3].It has become a buzzword in conversations on social media, on podcasts, in books, and on talkradio [9]. EI is often used casually as if it is common knowledge and easily applied. According tothe PMI, EI is the ability to identify, assess, and manage the personal emotions of oneself andother people, as well as the collective emotions of groups of people [1], [4].
