All in all, the recent developments will provide many open opportuni-ties for universities who wish to widen access to Higher Education with the introduction ofIEng and non-accredited courses. However, major challenges to the universities will remain asthey strive to strike a balance between the quality of research activities and the academic profileof undergraduate and post-graduate courses.Bibliography1.

activelyengaged in real-world research projects, despite numerous challenges and troubleshooting needsof such projects, provides students with opportunities to take "ownership" of the project, and as aresult, provides a substantial boost to their interests in the subject overall.In 2008, these ideas came together in the preparation of a course for undergraduate, freshmanengineering credit to be taught to high school juniors and seniors as an intensive, thirteen dayworkshop. The project was linked to both a STEM education grant program through the OhioBoard of Regents and a National Science Foundation grant to help build an undergraduate minorprogram in computational science. 12 The high school implementation was supported by a grantfrom the Ohio Board of

Baur3 1 Undergraduate Student, 2 Visiting Scholar, 3Assoc. Prof.AbstractCargo container homes have become increasingly popular around the world in the last 30 years.Because cargo containers are modular in design, they can be used to create efficient, cheaphomes. Repurposing cargo containers into homes is a sustainable construction practice due to themajority of the structure coming from recycled materials. Many design
support students. We explore how thoughtful curriculumdesign, new teaching strategies, and the integration of AI tools can address some of the challengesfaced by students. We also examine how to ensure that these programs are equitable and inclusive,ensuring that all learners, regardless of background, have a fair chance of success.There is a lot of research on online education for adult learners, covering topics like retention,motivation, and self-esteem [3-4]. However, few studies have specifically focused on theexperiences of learners in asynchronous online degree programs. More importantly, even lessresearch has looked at what learners think could improve their online experience in terms ofassessments, communication with faculty, and peer

We will provide numerous examples from our experience at McMasterUniversity, a research-intensive university, located in Hamilton, Ontario. The practicesdiscussed herein are typical of those used at many Canadian universities.Undergraduate students are actively involved in teaching assistantships, where they accept theresponsibility of teaching a tutorial and become intimately involved in the educational process.Students will give up their spare time to help students

TECHNIQUES The literature on curriculum design and development generally emphasizes that the instructional goals and objectives should be specified to include three domains of learning, namely, the cognitive, the affective, and the psychomotor, wherever applicable [1, 2, 11, 12]. To achieve the instructional goals and objectives fully and to have a long-lasting impact on the students, curriculum researchers recommend that the educational objectives under all three domains be included in curriculum and course design. Satisfying the objectives under the three domains requires matching learning and teaching styles [5]. When mismatches occur between teaching and learning styles, it
