This three-part course offers students hands-onexperiences with new and unfamiliar green technologies, such as straw-bale construction, windand solar power, and water conservation. Students in various disciplines are provided withopportunities to participate in the design and actual construction of a building that utilizes greenbuilding strategies and technologies. To date, these projects have been used to construct sixmuch-needed homes and community facilities on Northern Plains Indian reservations.The design of this course is presented along with the

In this way, students can connect with other universities, expand their networks, and gainaccess to various research opportunities [14] [15]. This collaborative model of multi-institutionalsupport is seen in a community of practice, where individuals collaborate from multipleorganizations and institutions to achieve a common goal or purpose [16].Additional possible implications include the wider outreach opportunities in places likeengineering education deserts, where a lack of industry and academic

experiences. A gap is evident between what students reportdoing, and the expectations of the academic programs and the responding industry employers.Whether the employer has a formalized internship program may partially account for thisdiscrepancy. Within formalized programs, students are more likely to have the opportunity toperform management-related tasks as they move through progressively more complex tasks. Asmore employers develop formal internship programs, student involvement in management-related tasks should increase. Academically, ACCE accreditation’s learning outcomes also putsmore emphasis on management-related education and training. Therefore, programs will need tohelp bridge the gap by collaborating with industry employers to support

As the 20th century progressed, the complexity of engineering challengeshighlighted the necessity for educational reforms that foster creativity, critical thinking, and experientiallearning. In the latter half of the century, curricula began to integrate project-based learning,interdisciplinary collaboration, and design thinking, encouraging hands-on engagement and exploration ofopen-ended problems. Today, creativity is recognized as a vital component of engineering education,essential for preparing students to navigate a rapidly changing technological landscape and to overcomebarriers such as rigid curricula and traditional assessment methods [Lantada

One major contributor to the labor shortage in the USconstruction industry is the retirement of many members of the baby boomer generation [2].Retiring construction workers will continue to contribute to the worker shortage, as indicated bythe fact that in 2020, 23.9% of construction workers were at least 55 years old [5].
