: Integrating a National Airport Design Competition into the CurriculumAbstractThis research paper examines the integration of the Airport Cooperative Research Program(ACRP) University Airport Design Competition into a junior/senior level undergraduate coursewithin the Aviation Administration Program at California State University, Los Angeles (CalState LA), a Minority Serving Institution characterized by a predominantly Hispanic/Latinostudent enrollment. Many of these students arrive with varying levels of academic preparednessaccording to conventional standards.The study explores the approach of using the ACRP University Airport Design Competition asthe focal point of the curriculum, fostering a dynamic learning environment

The findingsreflect a range of emotions as identified by four models and the need for an intersectionalapproach in developing inclusive strategies with a cultural and emotional awareness to empowerindividuals in navigating academic and professional settings. There are several implications ofthe study including how the participants’ awareness of hidden curriculum affects their emotionswhich in turn affects their self-efficacy and self-advocacy, and their demographic correlations.

As a quick review, the six levels of Bloom’s cognitive domain arepresented in Figure 1.0 below. Figure 1.0, Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive LearningEducators are very familiar with the concept presented in Bloom’s Taxonomy. The idea thatstudents can learn at different levels is a driving force in how educators develop and constructtheir lessons. We know that students can learn at a lower level where all they are able to do isrecognize the material; at a higher level

To remain competitive in the global economy, these industries need to train engineeringand technology professionals to understand the impact of their decisions on the environment andsociety. It is important for universities to prepare these future engineering technologists to meetthis need. Many technology programs do not offer this type of information to their undergraduatestudents.

A multidisciplinary freshmen and sophomore levels design approachcalled “2D design challenge” was developed at Singapore University of Technology and Design[6]. During a designated term, all courses simultaneously attacked a common multidisciplinarydesign problem. Students’ perception of their ability to solve such problems was evaluated andassessed statistically. Connecting several Mechanical Engineering core courses, Thermodynamics,System Dynamics and Control, Fluid Mechanics with a common design project was attempted atRowan University [7].

Inaddition, the project aims to convey the interrelated nature of courses in the curriculum. As such,pre and post intervention survey data related to student perceptions of overall course relevanceand course interconnectedness are presented. Improved ratings are seen in some aspects ofcourse relevance and integration.

Thesensor revolution is, in effect, giving the world its first electronic nervous system [1]. Theclassroom integration of sensor development is topical and offers highly interdisciplinary subjectmatter, providing motivating scenarios for teaching a multitude of science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and skill sets.This paper describes the development and implementation of a carefully scaffolded set of highschool curriculum modules, tied to the state and national standards in science, math, andtechnology

In this paper, we report on the results of interviews with recent IRE graduates who are nowworking as engineers. We interviewed these graduates to ascertain: • How their IRE preparation in metacognition helped them (or not) to transition to the engineering workforce. • How and to what extent are graduates using the lifelong learning and metacognition skills developed at IRE in their current positions.The general question that guided our analysis is: How do metacognitive skills developed in anundergraduate engineering program translate into lifelong learning in
