This learning environmentincorporates the recently developed pedagogical techniques that have resulted from theengineering and science curriculum reform being pursued throughout the country: cooperativelearning, experience-based hands-on learning, and the application of information technologies.Moreover, these techniques are especially well suited for engineers entering industry since theyemphasize group efforts, active learning, and gender and race friendly learning styles

The program's success is further demonstrated by the strong science and math identityreported by scholars, which has increased their commitment to STEM disciplines. The academicsuccess of the scholars, reflected in their sustained GPA and high graduation rates, suggests thatstructured support programs like ours can significantly improve outcomes for URM students inSTEM. Additionally, the program has been successful in guiding students toward postgraduateeducation and careers in STEM-related industries, highlighting the importance of early

, using waste from other industries, using fly ash in artificial aggregate production and in concrete, using recycled aggregate concrete for structural purposes as very relevant construction issues [5,7,16]. The above indicate to the real need for revamping our “construction operations” and “construction and engineering economy” classes. Construction operation classes need to go more into recycling of construction materials in terms of their choice and use, as well as, construction techniques that will facilitate easy maintenance, re-use, rehabilitation, and repair in the long term. Construction/engineering economy classes need to go more into life cycle assessment, construction financing, and private-public collaboration issues

Specifically, the questions asked participants to agree or disagree withthe following statements: I am knowledgeable about AI research issues, I am knowledgeableabout AI

Nevertheless, employers expect new hires to possess knowledge of standards and theirapplications [5]. Moreover, collaboration between universities and industry is essential to ensurethat education programs are relevant and up-to-date. However, not all universities may haveestablished partnerships with industry, which can limit their ability to provide students withrelevant and practical education on standards and standardization.To bridge this gap, Georgia Southern University (GaSou) is planning and implementing acurriculum innovation to integrating engineering standards

However, the most common form of capstone design course in China is research-oriented. It is based on students’ individual projects mainly supervised and sponsored byprofessors, in which students are expected to acquire in-depth knowledge. However, thiskind of capstone design has some significant drawbacks, such as lack of teamwork, designcommunication, problem identification, and system engineering thinking, etc., which are 1ranked as top of core competencies by industry.
