The course covers civil engineering materials, like wood,aggregates, cement concrete and asphalt concrete. The class of 20 to 25 students is divided intofour groups. There are two time slots allocated for this course in a week, one hour-fifteen minutefor lecture and two hour-forty

III. Team StructureTeams of students are assembled for both the lecture and the laboratory sessions. In the lecture,cooperative learning techniques3 are used with students randomly arranged in two or three-member groups when needed. There they work on open-ended problems and discuss their resultsin class. Often they must better define the question posed before they can develop an

Lesson plans and pre- and post-experimentsurveys were created in order to gain the necessary qualitative and quantitative data that wouldhelp determine if the devices were successful in effectively demonstrating the properties of light,while keeping the middle school students interested in the concepts behind the experiment.

One of the main goals of the project is forstudents and faculty to be able to easily operate the system. In addition, the system will implementInternet of Things (IoT) 4.0, allowing students to better understand IoT applications in a simulatedmanufacturing cell. For this project, design team purchased a new 6-axis cobot for the ETdepartment.

The new efficient frontier of weightedportfolios includes choices that mix T-bills with an approximately 50/50 split between stocks andbonds. This model is elaborated by a table of different portfolios with their expected return andstandard deviation. This linear envelope implies that heavier weighted bond portfolios aredominated. More importantly, it demonstrates the inadequacies and errors contained in commonrules of thumb that link recommended bond/stock weights to an individual’s age.

the standalone technical communication courses in the Departments ofChemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering at theUniversity of Texas at Austin [3]. Finally, rather than using a standalone course to teach writing,a number of engineering departments try to interweave the teaching of writing into a sequence ofengineering courses. Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched. Faculty are asked to teach greater loads, often without additional resources.One such example is Pennsylvania State University
