Transportation, snacks, and the mid-day lunch were provided to the students whoattended class for three consecutive weeks (Monday through Thursday) between 9:00 AM and12:00 noon. Students participated in an engineering project to design, build, test, market, andcompete in a paper airplane competition. The program resulted in 36 classroom contact hoursbetween the faculty and the students in the program.

Our belief is that global perspective outcomes are best achieved in aninternational setting rather than just in the classroom or through information technology. Off-campus opportunities provide students the means to move from self-knowledge to understandingcomplex relationships, and to understanding multiple perspectives and cross-cultural issues (3).But, how do we get from these lofty goals and descriptions to the details of earning academiccredit while helping in the preservation of Venice?The increasing frequency of high tides, the slow sinking of palaces and churches, the incredibleimpact of 12

While emerging assistive technologies, such as learning-basedvideo games and online platforms, show promise in supporting neurodivergent individuals inhigher education, comprehensive research on their user experience and effectiveness is lacking.Therefore, more research needs to be done in this area to determine how we can implement thesetechnologies into the lives of neurodivergent learners.References[1] Cleveland Clinic, “Neurodivergent: What It Is, Symptoms & Types,” Cleveland Clinic,Jun. 02, 2022. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health
but also socially responsible and environmentally sustainable. 8. User-Centered Design: Creative engineers prioritize the needs and experiences of end- users when designing solutions. User-centered design methodologies, such as empathy mapping and persona development, ensure that engineering solutions address real-world problems effectively. 9. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Creative engineers embrace lifelong learning and stay abreast of emerging technologies, trends, and best practices. They adapt to evolving challenges and opportunities by continuously expanding their knowledge and skillset. 10. Communication and Visualization: Creativity is integral to effective communication in
continually pushing the limits ofdesign through the use of new technologies and materials, thereby relying on theinnovation and expertise of their engineering collaborators.Although the curricula of both architecture and engineering have required “design”courses, the content and pedagogical goals for these are usually quite different. Thetraditional “studio” is the core of architectural pedagogy at Syracuse University (as atmost schools of architecture). The studio joins faculty with students for 12 hours per Page 15.746.2week and utilizes a range of pedagogical strategies such as lectures, site visits, one-on-one critiques, group and individual

In the rapidlyevolving landscape of technology, the cultivation of Computational Thinking skills is crucial forengineering students to thrive in their future professions [1].Within the engineering design process, Computational Thinking acts as a foundationalframework that supports effective problem-solving. Programming skills, as a practicalapplication of computational thinking, enable engineers to implement algorithms and translateabstract concepts into functional solutions. The iterative nature of the design process alignsseamlessly with the problem-solving strategies ingrained in

Session 1265 Using Multiple Intelligence Theory in the Mathematics Classroom Joan V. Dannenhoffer, Robert J. Radin Ward College of Technology at the University of HartfordAbstractGardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI ) states that people learn through a combination ofeight intelligences rather than one intelligence as was originally believed. Furthermore, eachperson has several dominant intelligences through which he/she learns better and more quickly.Two applications which use multiple intelligences in teaching concepts in college levelmathematics courses are described. Anecdotal evidence suggests

In our study,we used in-class problem solving with the ‘I do, we do, you do’ gradual release model [5]. Themodel helps students understand
