. IntroductionThe emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) represents a paradigm shift in various sectors,including education. This transformation is particularly significant in engineering education, where theintegration of advanced technologies has consistently reshaped pedagogical practices. Generative AI,characterized by its ability to produce content such as text, images, and multimedia through models likeChatGPT by openai, has garnered increasing attention due to its potential to enhance teaching and learningexperiences. Studies highlight how these technologies personalize learning, adapt to diverse student needs,and create innovative educational tools that improve comprehension and engagement [1] in the context ofengineering education

Enhancement, Sustainability TrainingIntroductionThe building sector, responsible for approximately 38% of global greenhouse gas emissions, is atthe forefront of decarbonization efforts aimed at mitigating climate change [1]. As urbanizationaccelerates and energy demands rise, the need for innovative strategies to reduce emissionsbecomes increasingly urgent. These challenges extend beyond operational energy efficiency toencompass the full lifecycle of buildings, including materials, construction processes, and end-of-life considerations [2]. Simultaneously, the digital transformation of the design, planning, andconstruction industries is reshaping the approaches used to address these challenges [3].Emerging digital tools, such as Building Information

Inthis way, comparing the conceptions and attitudes about Chemical Engineering of two differentcultures contributes to making visible the differences and similarities between them, being anopportunity to establish undergraduate curricula and policies on engineering education that arecontextualized to the environment and provide a voice to the students. Therefore, we take as anepistemological framework the pragmatic paradigm trying to converge genetic and structuralsocial representations’ approaches as a mediating element of the relationshipsbetween the attitudes and as a mechanism for analyzing the information collected [7].Theoretical frameworkIn this way, it is interesting to identify and compare how these professionals conceive and
future of civil and environmental engineering (CEE) requires the ability to adaptinfrastructure to changing demands. Intelligent application of sensors will allow civil engineersto improve the performance of infrastructure by automatically measuring real-time responses andinterpreting the data to control the systems. Although sensing technologies now proliferate inCEE practice, few undergraduate CEE curricula prepare graduates to work with sensors [1].Experts in civil engineering information technology and computing have long emphasized theimportance of incorporating sensing into CEE curricula (e.g., [2]-[6]). The 2019 ASCE CivilEngineering Education Summit highlighted the need for academic programs to provide educationon emerging technologies

As a result of this research, NEEDS is experimenting with a variety ofon-line services that can develop and support emerging communities among the faculty who areinterested in interacting with one another in order to better use instructional technology and newpedogogies in their classrooms.In this paper, we discuss research on the potential impact of Web-based learning communitiesfor faculty who are interested in engineering education. This research has been used in the designof the architecture necessary for NEEDS to provide and support this service.I. IntroductionOne result of the exponential growth of the Internet and World Wide Web is that faculty (likeother users) are no longer satisfied with dealing with
attention on creative habits of mind that are illuminated via children’s experience within anout-of-school engineering program. In focusing on creative habits of mind, we aim to learn howchildren’s frames of reference and experiences in this type of program may have informedchanges in their perspectives and thought processes. In her work at the postsecondary level,Troop [42] examined the relationship between creative activity and transformative learning andposited that transformation was itself a creative process and involved “subjective reframing” orchanging of perspectives informed by independent thinking. Our aim is to extend this line ofthinking and better understand how creative habits of mind might emerge through elementaryaged children’s

Recent articlesaddress student-created podcasts for a diverse range of majors, including business,6 literature,7language-learning,8 information technology,9 and general engineering.10 The level of technicalassistance with the recording and editing aspects of the assignments varied greatly, from noassistance to dedicated class sessions and expert assistance. Podcasts were assigned as both teamand individual assignments. Most, but not all, podcast assignments required interviews. Overall,the student assessment of the assignments ranged from mixed to positive. The variety of

Union’s CT program3 slightly narrows the focus of the national program; it currentlyincludes five emerging technology fields: bioengineering, mechatronics, nanotechnology,neuroscience, and pervasive computing. However, CT is intended to be organic in scope and tokeep abreast with emerging fields. Five faculty committees initially began to examine UnionCollege’s existing curriculum to determine the feasibility of implementing new courses and/ormodify existing courses, and to generate interest and excitement on campus in support of CT. Union’s intent is to focus creative thought from engineering and from the liberal
