Much of the education has focused on issues relating to the contractor’sperspective; very few courses provide insight on the owners’ role and its impact on constructionproject delivery. This unbalance approach limits student opportunity for learning, and especiallyconsidering the varied roles CM graduates will one day work. Given the volatile nature of theconstruction industry, owners may choose to have more internal construction managerial staffand related job opportunities and reduce their outsourcing to external contractors.Some suggestions have been to develop courses that are

In education, forinstance, the fusion of ML and pedagogy becomes an emerging field of study known as educationaldata mining (EDM). The International Educational Data Mining Society defines EDM as “adeveloping method for exploring unique and increasing large scale data that comes from aneducational setting to better understand the students” [2]. In other words, EDM convertseducational information into intelligent action, aiming to improve learning outcomes [3]. Majormethods of EDM include regression, associating rules, sequential pattern analysis

presented on topics that interested the students or key resources on campus, for example, how to utilize the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook. Another example is the mentor provided a lesson on habits and requested that the students utilize a habit tracker to follow the progress they made together at the end of their required journal for each course session. Even though this was not a requirement, any students saw the benefits of habit tracking and engaged in the activity for the duration ofmthe course with their own internal motivation. Support outside of the classroom was the largest. Mentors aimed to meet and speak with each student personally, which meant one-on-one or group meetings outside

Engineering education aims to equipstudents with essential skills including intentional learning, curiosity, and effective collaboration[1], [2], [3] in addition to extensive training in mathematics, sciences, and engineering-specifictopics. The goal is to provide a strong technical foundation and introduce essential skills forprofessional and personal development by integrating core courses with concepts fromengineering education [2]. These essential skills help students address pressing 21st-centurychallenges, such as sustainability [4], [5], as they navigate the growing complexities of modernindustries in their careers.

The co-design session, involving 6 faculty members, 3 advisors, and the Dean, produced concepts forprogram improvement.

Increasing the quantity of graduating engineersis challenging because factors associated with engineering student retention are multifaceted andnot thoroughly understood [3-4]. Increasing first-year engineering retention increases the numberof engineering students earning undergraduate degrees, yet the first year of engineeringundergraduate education presents several hurdles for

Is there anything else that the professor should know?After we collect students’ mid-term feedback, we identify a list of things we can implement andadjust in our teaching for the second half of the term to improve students’ learning experienceand go over this list with students in class. We also identify a list of things we will implement forfuture course offerings and a list of things we will not implement and explain to students why.For example, we have included more interactive problem solving sessions and more Q&Asessions in class. On the other hand, when students requested us to get rid

Inresponse, universities have expanded the variety of academic resources available to students andhave designed a variety of interventions to improve student resource engagement. For example,some interventions work to improve student understanding of the available resources by providingall students with regular advising sessions in first-year seminars [3] Others acknowledge the needfor support structures that connect to students’ identities [4].But personal [5], social [6], and institutional [7] barriers can influence student help-seekingbehaviors and hinder the effective use of academic resources.

Prior to her appointment at the Belfer Center, Aditi worked at the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, her work, endorsed and funded by policymakers from the NEA member countries, focused on bringing epistemologies from the humanities and social sciences to academic and practitioner nuclear engineering, thus broadening their epistemic core. At the NEA, Aditi also led the

During the interdisciplinary research process,researchers from a variety of disciplines cross boundaries to solve the specific real-worldproblems and create new knowledge [3, 4, 5, 6].Recognizing the potential of interdisciplinarity, national efforts, such as the Integrative GraduateEducation Research and Training (IGERT) initiative, have emerged. The IGERT program,initiated in 1997 and terminated in 2012 funded 125 groups of faculty to “educate U.S Ph.D.scientists, engineers, and educators with the interdisciplinary backgrounds, deep knowledge inchosen disciplines, and technical, professional, and personal skills to become in their own careersthe leaders and creative

One goal of thisoffering is to provide female students “with a framework to understand their experience has thecapacity to transform their individually internalized messages of personal inadequacy or notbelonging into a larger contextualized experience that they can name
