,more research has been performed in the areas related to integration of various XR technologiesinto CM education and industry.The densest lines are found in the red cluster associated with AR. This demonstrates the closerelationship between the research on AR and education, construction industry, VR and XR,respectively. The lines between AR, education, and construction industry in the red cluster aremore distinct and pronounced than those between CM, engineering, architecture, projectmanagement, design and technology in the green cluster in this sample. This suggests thatcompared to CM, engineering, architecture, project management, design and technology, there isgreater research interaction between AR, education, construction industry, VR and

Engineer (Barbie). 2013. RandomHouse Books for Young Readers, 2013. 11Here’s an example of why unconscious bias matters. Professors in biology,chemistry, and physics at 6 major universities were sent an application for alaboratory manager position. All professors (127) received the same one-pagesummary. Half the time the applicant’s name was John and the other half Jennifer.On a scale of 1 to 7, professors gave John an average score of 4 for competence andJennifer 3.3. They would be more likely to hire John, and they would offer him moremoney.The bias had no relation to the professors’ age, sex, teaching field or tenure status.(so simply being a women doesn’t

Rather,women are concentrated at the lower ranks of academia as assistant professors, lecturers andadjunct faculty (Fox, 2010). In 2006, women accounted for 30.5% of non-tenure track instructors,  but only 11.9% of associate professors and 3.8% of full

Our belief was the completenessand integration that such an extended program provides would offset the length and associatedcost. However, the commitment to an extended course of study that does not yield a degree isoften difficult to make.We have found that non-engineers can successfully participate in technical management coursesoriginally designed for engineers. In fact, the mixing of these two populations appears to have apositive effect on both. The perspective that each population brings to class discussions andassignments enriches the learning experience of both.ConclusionSince its introduction in 1997, we have had two students enter

Many universities have established First Year Programs to coordinate theactivities and classes for first year students. However, not all universities have the funds toestablish programs separate from disciplinary programs. How can faculty that are not assignedto a First Year Program efficiently manage multiple sections of a hands-on course with limitedresources?There are several models for teaching basic engineering concepts in electrical, mechanical,chemical, computer, civil and system engineering to freshman engineering students
