The key benefit of the HP Institute program, and accompanying HP ATA(Accredited Technical Associate) certifications, is employability. The objective is to providethe practical experience that will enable a graduate to set up a complete, end-to-end ITsolution in an SME (small to medium-sized enterprises) environment. These SMEenvironments are more and more likely to be multi-vendor inclusive which is why HPInstitute provides learning

These insights seek to guide educators looking tomodernize construction curricula to align with industry needs and technological advancements.IntroductionThe construction industry continues to grapple with challenges such as low productivity, cost andtime overruns, and safety concerns, mainly due to its reliance on manual processes and lowlevels of digitization [1]. These issues have hampered the industry’s ability to meet increasingdemand for efficiency [2] [3].Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology capable of addressingthese challenges by introducing automation and improved decision-making capabilities [4] [5

The first concern relates to information overload and lackof useful instructional format; the second concern relates to identifying the necessary skills andattitudes to enable users to critically evaluate and use the resources; and the third is to effectivelydesign and evaluate different learning

More recently, researchershave started to build more domain general tools such as Internet-based services that supportcollaborative scientific workflows27. Although these tools provide mechanisms for automatingand accelerating collaborative scientific discovery processes for a wide range of science andengineering disciplines, they are not particularly applicable to the scheduling task that confrontsteachers interested in assigning globally distributed team projects.In spite of the development of a wide range of collaborative tools for students, softwaredevelopers, and research

Forinstance, examining information technology as it is manifest over the last century candemonstrate to students that continuity is as much a part of technological change as novelty.One might also tell the story of failed technological artifacts such as the gas refrigerator in orderto disabuse engineering students of the notion that technology always progresses from bestproduct to better product. The responsibility for technological direction lies firmly in the lap ofsociety (including the engineers). This approach remains a promising method for engagingengineering in history and clearly illustrating its importance as they approach their engineeringtasks.

that informed citizen of thefuture is a course in Infrastructure for all college graduates. Infrastructure should be taken hereas a widely inclusive term, with many systems and meta-systems (the health care system,electrical power, information technology, transportation, etc.) providing the framework for suchstudies. The how of such a course, what such a course might consist of, possible course syllabi,models and the like, is presented by Hart et al. (2011), but this paper seeks to address a verydifferent question; why require such a course, particularly for non-engineers. More directly put,this paper argues that if we are to address the broad and complex problems posed by ourdecaying existing infrastructure and our demand for future

In recent years, the centralized companies of the past have beenreplaced by geographically dispersed, remotely located companies collaborating on acommon project. The technical advances, especially the Internet, have been the majordriving force behind this trend. Surprisingly, the full potential of these technologies arenot currently used in the classroom settings 5, 6.

question: how have educators incorporated digital twinsin engineering education and specifically in engineering design education? This question aims to uncover the pedagogical strategies, technological infrastructures, andeducational outcomes associated with digital twins. Understanding how digital twins enhance designcompetencies and critical thinking skills can provide actionable insights for educators and curriculumdevelopers. This literature review aims to inform future efforts to integrate digital twins into engineeringeducation by identifying best practices, challenges, and research gaps. The findings hold the potential torevolutionize engineering education by equipping students with innovative tools and methodologies,fostering their

This also gives us hope, in the sense that the cultural “construction” of technologicaldeterminism can be locally interrupted. I give evidence that students can engage in socialconstructivist thought, challenge technological determinism, consider the interests of a widerange of stakeholders, and attend to issues of power, privilege, and marginalization, at least inthe context of a carefully designed lesson plan, for the duration of the lesson. I also documenthow the lesson plan evolved in response to students’ ideas (both what was expressed and whatwas not expressed) as well as in response to aspects of

challenges of living in an increasingly engineered and engineeringworld were significant influences. Autonomy as participation took on new salience in biomedicalresearch, responsibility was called for by nuclear weapons, privacy developed in conjunctionwith digital information technologies, and sustainability arose in response to industrialexploitation and environmental contamination. Questions of risk and its coordinate concept,safety, took on distinctly ethical relevance initially in civil and mechanical engineering(construction and tool or machine use safety) but from there spread throughout the engineeringdisciplines.

Plotting trust on the busy whiteboard in the form of aproblem statement or research question makes evident that trust is a moving target and that it isup to the researcher to pin it down just long enough for it to be understood. Doing this workcollectively, across disciplines using sketching and mapping techniques familiar to design studiosettings, introduces a dose of humility (to balance disciplinary hubris) and lived experience whileproviding a fertile platform in which fellows become conversant in one another’s disciplines.According to the external evaluator, the Summer Incubator course consistently and successfullydeepened awareness of CS and SE related topics across disciplines, and
