The results provide insight intothe prioritization of laboratory learning outcomes and allow the redesign of laboratory courses tobetter align with the skills and attributes desired from all three stakeholder groups.IntroductionOver the last decade, many surveys and studies have considered the future of chemicalengineering and its alignment with industry expectations [4], resulting in changes to ABETrequirements [5] (specifically towards process safety education [6] and ethics and socialresponsibility [7]). A larger picture of chemical engineering modernization was the focus of arecent National Academies report entitled “New Directions for Chemical Engineering”, whichexplored research and undergraduate educational program updates [8

possible to get the awards to the really outstanding teachers.Comments related to the teaching award(s). I think that having teaching awards for junior faculty would be much more effective for multiple reasons. Dedicating time to teaching and education-related research is often discouraged at the assistant professor level, so teaching awards could provide great teaching motivation and reward for teaching efforts that typically go largely unrewarded by promotion, tenure and evaluation (PT&E) committees. I really think that junior faculty would benefit greatly from this little boost, as a reminder that teaching is important, and that someone out there really values their efforts. Otherwise, it is much too easy to become less

One of the earliest successful and widely reported projects was the Valle Imperial Project in El Centro, CA. The implementation of inquiry based science kits using the National Science Resources Center (NSRC) model of exemplary science education (research based curriculum, ongoing professional development, 2 authentic assessment, community support and materials support) resulted in significant 3 increases in not only science achievement, but also reading, math and writing
optimal relationships with vital customers.Project documentation is critical to the success of many companies. Understanding andlearning how to prepare a variety of construction documents is of the utmost importanceto construction professionals. This purpose of this study was to assess the skills of thestudents graduating with a major in construction. Along with assessing the writing abilityof the graduates, the study also attempted to rank the importance of certain constructiondocuments used within the construction industry.Research ObjectivesThe objectives of the research were to find out the views of members of the constructionindustry and faculty members of construction education programs: 1.

failures of development projects related towater and sanitation projects can be directly attributed to the engineers’ lack of understanding ofthe culture of the people that the projects were serving. Engineering education traditionallyfocused on technical issues, so the lack of attention to critical non-technical aspects related toculture is not surprising. The University of Colorado at Boulder has created an Engineering forDeveloping Communities (EDC) program. We are critically aware that to be successful in thisendeavor, our students need to be culturally competent. Measuring CC is a key step in theprocess to determine if our program is effective in meeting this goal.This research was designed to measure the cultural competency of engineering
the primary learning outcomes.BackgroundIn the modern educational environment, many instructors have embraced web-based LearningManagement Systems (LMS) to manage course data. According to Cavus et al. [1], “An LMS isoften regarded as the starting point for developing an online course or program by researchers asit provides a means for managing, delivering, and tracking online instruction and studentoutcomes.” Furthermore, an LMS also acts like a bridge between the instructors and learners byproviding a common point of contact and direct line of connection [1].To be an effective system, an LMS must meet several requirements: availability, scalability,usability, interoperability, stability, and security [2].
