zero waste, is high-impact, highlycollaborative work that requires the partnership of design and construction teams along with allother stakeholders [2]. The project management team must recognize the stakeholders and theirneeds by selecting suitable project delivery methods (PDMs) in order to successfully deliver SIprojects. A project delivery method outlines the roles of the parties involved in the project(typically the owner, contractor, and designer) and the timing of their engagement whenconstructing the facility [3]. Although throughout the 20th century, Design-Bid-Build (DBB)was the most popular delivery method, as the need for quicker project completion and risingproject complexity due to the result of technical advancements grew
as new evidence-based approaches toteaching become more widespread in the STEM community. Although many of these techniqueshave been gaining traction in most STEM disciplines [1, 2], the rate of adoption in the areas ofComputer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), and Software Engineering (SE) is less thanexpected [3]. The increasing number of students entering undergraduate programs in CS/IT/SE[4] requires that the introduction of these evidence-based approaches be adopted at a faster rate.This is particularly true for students entering SE programs given that the effective developmentof software applications requires the use of a wide range of skills, including both technical andnon-technical skills [5, 6]. The technical skills needed

To achieve these goals, this study utilized a mixed-methods sequentialexplanatory design to collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data from students.The survey included responses from FTIC, transfer, and international students. It did notdifferentiate between them, except to assess time to graduation, since the factors hinderingtimely graduation as well as the motivators and resources that can help them achieve theirgraduation goals and academic success are comparable among all students.The recorded data included a diverse group of students as shown in Figure 4, which included (a)58 males, 16 females, and one student that preferred not to answer; (b) 3 freshmen, 8sophomores, 38

, set goals, and can prioritize theirtasks. Compared to undergraduate students, these activities do not always present as muchchallenge to graduate students, and international graduate students do not necessarily struggle toachieve them. However, mastering learning strategies and understanding academic expectationsand the general educational system helps international graduate students succeed.Academic pressure in the first semester at graduate school sometimes overshadows theimportance of positive mental well-being. Imposter syndrome, workload, and social isolationincrease stress and anxiety [3]. These factors impact the ability of international graduate studentsto thrive [3] in their academic pursuits. Stallman [4] explains that stress and
Session 2460 Engineering Education & International Management Initiatives Arthur Gerstenfeld, Maria F. Flores Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Worcester, MassachusettsAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe a project, which has been in work for the past two years,which we believe, has several implications for education. This project has been partially fundedby the Department of Education, Business and International Education Division. While we allagree that the economic and technical world is smaller and closer every day, we do not agree onhow we should handle that in terms of educating
technical and scientific fields.At Michigan Tech we have been offering a course aimed at improving the 3-D spatialskills of engineering students since 1993. Through a subsequent grant, we developed ninemultimedia software and workbook modules for developing 3-D spatial skills. In the Fallof 2004, we were awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to extend ourtraining materials and activities to students in majors other than engineering and toinvestigate gender differences in preferred learning/training styles. This papersummarizes the results from our research to date with non-engineering majors anddiscusses implications for the future.BackgroundThe ability to visualize objects and situations in one’s mind and to manipulate thoseimages
