Engaging Students in Civil Infrastructure Management Adjo Amekudzi, Sue McNeil, Kristen L.

However, existing facilities need the attention of civil engineers who aretrained with lifecycle concepts and techniques for managing infrastructure, as evidenced in partby the D+ grade awarded to U.S. infrastructure by the American Society of Civil Engineers’2003 Report Card on America’s Infrastructure1.

Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright Ó 2002, American Society for Engineering EducationA CMS should be flexible in terms of uploading and downloading grades from other programs ina variety of formats. There are two aspects important in grading. First, grades come frommultiple sources in a variety of formats. Some may be in plain text files, while others may bestored in spreadsheets. A university computing center may provide scoring services for tests thatemploy scan-able forms, and the data may be returned to a professor in a variety of formats. It iscritical to be able to merge grades from multiple sources into a single grade file. While grademanagement is not a focus of CMSs, it represents a time

Session 1426 Knowledge Management Techniques in Experimental Projects Narayanan Komerath Professor, Aerospace Engineering Georgia Institute of TechnologyAbstractKnowledge integration (KI) and knowledge management (KM) techniques are being recognizedas key to improved competitiveness in industry. These principles and techniques enableretention, sharing and systematic application of critical knowledge across geographic andtemporal expanses. Five case studies of the application of KI/KM techniques are described, inthe context of a
engineering design as well as how to function moreeffectively in industry design environments. Material related to theories of student learning andappropriate pedagogical approaches to teaching an open-ended subject such as engineeringdesign are included. Having successfully completed this course, students are able to describeengineering design process and compare and contrast design across engineering and non-engineering disciplines. Students develop a syllabus for a design course in their own discipline,including assignments and projects. They also learn about effective project management and areable to characterize and demonstrate effective means of teaching/coaching/mentoring of variousdesign projects. As future educators, students are able to

The program was to educate engineeringstudents with revised curriculums considering industrial demand and hands-on experiencerather than to go through re-educating process of the industrial workforce after college degree.With the increasing importance of design programs which concentrates on practicality andcreativity in college engineering education, the capstone
by adding construction expertise and by enhancingservices in the pre-construction phases of the project: budgeting, value engineering,constructability reviews, scheduling, and phasing are all addressed. This process willensure that the project (1) meets the approved schedule, (2) meets all constructiondeadlines, and (3) is feasible concerning phased occupancy. When it comes time tobuild, the Construction Manager will manage the bidding, awarding and constructionphases of the project to ensure the highest quality work, in a timely fashion, within thebudget. This allows the Architect to focus on what they do best, the programming anddesigning of the building.How much more does it cost to use the Construction Management method?It should not
Capstone Course in Construction Management Joseph J. Cecere , Ph.D., CPC Pennsylvania State University/ HarrisburgABSTRACTCapstone courses offered in most construction engineering programs are designed to pull together much of whatthe student has already learned in previous courses. This will enable the student to gain an appreciation of howthe different aspects of a construction project come together. The course is not an in depth study of any onefunction or technical aspect, but rather a synergistic overview of the project

partnership with broader constituencies (managers,technicians, end users, among others). And while all engineering educational programs requirestudent teamwork, instruction on effective and inclusive teaming practices is only occasional,and if present, the outcomes are rarely assessed. The efforts described in this paper around thedevelopment and implementation of inclusive teaming instruction were enabled to a great extentby our broader university- and college-level contexts. Moreover, we leveraged the support of theunit-level REvolutionize Engineering and Computer Science Departments (RED) initiatives andthe changes to ABET programmatic assessment criteria.

While Americans enjoyed a cushy marginin trade in the early 1950’s, it soon became discernable that Japanese goods were disturbingAmerican markets.
