, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods [3] [4]. An approach that hasbeen proposed and analyzed in several studies involve the use of setting up virtual laboratoryfacilities [5] [6]. Though, this is useful mainly in remote teaching applications, the authorsbelieve that this is not an immediate solution for the knowledge gap observed in the courses inthis study. While it would be challenging to involve all the proposed approaches at the sametime, some of them were given preference, such as usage of video materials for course delivery.The research by Nadelson and team [7] utilized a video

Integrate the technical sub-disciplines of civil engineering, develop criteria for design and perform trade-off and alternatives analyses to produce cost-effective solutions. 2. Gather relevant data, have discussions with the client, identify and use applicable regulations, codes and other information. 3. Communicate site analyses, work programs and engineering design detail to both technical and non-technical customers. 4. Do integrated project planning, scheduling, and cost analysis for a moderately-sized, civil engineering project. 5. Perform a reasonably detailed design to meet customer requirements

The assessment model can be summarized into four major steps: Step 1: Defining program mission, objectives, and outcomes; Step 2: Developing an assessment plan to assess the program objectives and outcomes with linkages to curriculum issues and

In the design of exercises for the online component we looked to students’ ownliving situations to understand the possible scope. Students had a range of opportunities forprototyping at their homes and apartments, with few instances where students had completelyequivalent materials for prototyping. Internet connectivity, installed programs, and quality ofremote equipment varied by student as well. Obviously, the Create goal would be impossible toachieve so we adjusted learning outcomes at the Understand through Analyze steps.

For the last three years, and a fourth currently ongoing attime of writing, a capstone project has been sponsored by the author's Wireless EnvironmentalSensing Technology (WEST) Lab. The purpose of these sponsored capstones are as follows: 1. In the short term, design a wireless sensor to solve a specific problem. 2. In the long term, converge at a more general-purpose hardware and software solution set with which to design future wireless

The term ‘chalk and talk,’ associated with the traditional teaching model,has progressively been supplemented by educational tools that helped teachers elevatestudent outcomes privately [1]. Moreover, since the booming of massive open online courses(MOOC) and the high use of smartphones, both students and educators can learn as much asthey need about topics they are interested in using methods that align with their learningstyles [2]. Both phenomena have led to the emergence of a new educational term calledpersonalized learning.Personalized learning (PL) is an environment that supports learners based on their needs andstrengths.

A campus-wide workshop, organized by ourinstitution’s faculty development program, will allow faculty to explore the applicability of Page 12.176.8SCALE-UP in other disciplines.
