of information from the faculty. They sought clear, accurate, timely, and immediateinformation, primarily about processes they could undertake during the semester to meet the courseobjectives and avoid setbacks. The focus group revealed that students preferred Instagram due toits ease of access via mobile phones, the simplicity of interactions, and the direct delivery ofinformation to their news sections. The research concluded that Instagram played a significant rolein providing students with essential information during the pandemic. The findings emphasize theimportance of selecting suitable communication platforms to meet students' needs andexpectations in higher education, particularly in emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic [17

For educators who need guidance on what content to review in theircurrent courses, Figures 6 and 7 provide a list of skills, emerging technologies, and characteristics that theindustry considers as success factors based on the different disciplines in the AEC industry. A color schemewas used so as to show the frequency of factors on students’ successful future career based on differentdisciplines.Conclusion Industry 'success' is, to some extent, a universal aspiration for all aspects of the AEC industry, andthe success of graduates is indicative of the growth and

Morell presents the multistakeholder model developed in Latin America, which the African program leverages, and which this paper complements. The World Bank recommends that nations which wish to develop knowledge-based economies concentrate their efforts on four major areas: education and training, communication and information infrastructures, economic incentives and institutional regime, and innovation systems.1 Knowledge has become a primary factor of production – many economists would argue the most important component - in addition to capital, labor and land. For a small, natural resource poor, landlocked emerging economy, knowledge may be the only factor of production.2 Most globalization experts agree that technology is critical

independence from the British colonialism in 1947, India emerged economically andtechnically underdeveloped in relation to the West. Since then, India has sought to catch up toscientific and technological advances made in the West with its industrialization policies. Till90s, India merely explored computing technologies and had limited indigenous developmentunder strict licenses and regulations. In 1991, India opened its economy to foreign directinvestment and reduced government control on the private sector. In 1998, India took a numberof proactive measures to promote national and international software companies. India’s PrimeMinister Vajpayee declared “IT [information technology] as India’s tomorrow”22. Since then, theIndian IT sector has grown

Process engineering is critical to virtually all modern products used by society. In addition,process engineering spans many disciplines including chemical, petroleum, biochemical, Page 5.27.1environmental, food, materials production and manufacturing. In many cases the interface ofscience and engineering is critical to advancements and future trends.

There seems to be very little in the literature about theimpact and usefulness of the newer social media outlet as recruiting tools. This study wasdesigned to determine how effectively students perceive different recruiting methods (print, Web,and social media) as well as who helped them sort through all of the information to make theirchoices. First-semester freshmen in the College of Technology (CoT) at Purdue University weresurveyed to determine how print, Web, and social media for recruiting are perceived byprospective students.

, colleges and universities have fewer restrictions to puttingtheir graduate programs online. There is also a strong demand among engineering graduates whoare working full time in engineering careers. These students have difficultly taking classes intraditional Master’s and PhD programs and are attracted to online programs due to theirflexibility. The demand of engineers looking for graduate education online has been met byuniversities eager to find more income streams. This demand, and the profit from it, is likely amajor cause in the emergence of the online Master’s degree.In searching for information about online Master’s and PhD programs in engineering, we foundlittle except for the individual universities that offer these programs.

within instructional levels, within administrative levels, and within political levels. In practical terms, this means that a single agent in the system does not “know what [is] happening to the system as a whole. " For example, instructors are not fully aware what information is transmitted in other lectures, how that influences the student learning in their class, and how that learning and teaching aligns with the professional world.10. Emergence Arguably the most important characteristic of a complex system is the emergence of patterns and properties. This emergence occurs not as a result of one agent within the system but as a higher order phenomenon that occurs as agents and scales interact with one another17
examines the notion that lecturing is not necessarily the mostappropriate delivery method for Architectural Engineering Technology courses that rely heavilyupon recreating the work environment within the classroom. In contrast to lecture basedteaching, the project - based method (one that is time-tested in architectural design schools)mimics architectural industry, where information is often dispensed in meetings rather than informal lectures. This paper addresses the dearth of architectural research that focuses upon designmethods and education. Most research done by architectural educators, as noted by Voyatzaki 1 Page 10.113.1

incumbent workers, or face adiminishing ability to grow or to compete globally.Department of Labor data indicates that the shortage of skilled workers will exceed 10million by the year 2020. Because of the changing nature of work and jobs, especially inmanufacturing, future workers will need ongoing and continually upgraded training andeducation. The worker and skills shortages are emerging for a number of interactingfactors:• The US is losing workers through the retirement of skilled baby boomers.• Emerging jobs will require more advanced skills. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the economy will generate 28 percent more jobs that require higher technical skills during the next two decades.• There will be fewer entry-level
