number thirteen discusses a highly ambitious and massiveproject that would integrate most of the major rivers in the nation. The present population isroughly one billion, and is expected to rise to between 1.5 to 1.8 billion by 2050. Due to the highvariability of rainfall patterns, some parts of the country receive large amounts of rain, whileothers have desert-like conditions. Therefore, the interlinking of rivers is of great importance forfuture development. The estimated cost of this largest project in the world is $112 billion.Interlinking of the rivers will augment irrigation, provide a solution to the growing need forindustrial and domestic water, generate electricity, and improve inland navigation. The projectshould protect the country

For example, misconceptions about the second law of thermodynamics and itseffect on energy quality are being explored in an MEA where students estimate the overallthermal efficiency of electric vs. hybrid vs. gasoline cars. Student teams must use a systemsapproach and include all relevant energy conversion steps in their problem solving process.In this paper, we will describe MEAs and how they are being

In the standard setting, a peerleader works with six to eight students during weekly workshop sessions.

This studyexamined the performance of AEC students in a BIM course before and after adopting the OERplatform developed and also a combined OER and flipped classroom strategy. Hypothesis testswere performed to compare the averages of students’ project and overall grades in three semestersthat the BIM course was offered without the OER, with the OER, and with combined OER withflipped classroom

Suckarieh andDiamantes (1995) indicated that time dedicated to construction safety training is not adequate.He mentioned that formal training could have a significant impact on students’ performance assoon as they graduate. Coble et al. (1998) mentioned that safety education for the BuildingConstruction Management students has not often been a high priority in US universities.

The improved demonstration using XR allows for tacklingmultidisciplinary projects in engineering design courses, particularly in junior and sophomoreyears when making a physical prototype could be challenging considering time, cost, and safetychallenges. [18]. In our curriculum, ME386W is the 3rd-year junior design course and the lastdesign course before capstone projects. ME386W does not require a physical prototype to bemade, considering the limited departmental resources and limited time of the semester.Therefore, ME386W could potentially benefit significantly from the use of XR technology [19

Statistics (USBLS) in the last 10 years, employment in the STEMfields has grown twice as fast as jobs in non-STEM fields, with jobs in engineering experiencing the mostgrowth (US Dept. of Labor, 2019). While this may seem encouraging in terms of employment prospects,there are not enough students entering engineering programs in college to fill these jobs (National ScienceBoard, 2018). A majority of students lack an interest in engineering, due in part to the lack of trulyintegrated STEM curriculum in K-12 classroom instruction (Samson et al., 2015). Most K-12 students arenot able to experience applications of real-world engineering or learn about the benefits of becoming anengineer. As a result, students do not consider studying engineering in
