policy, 2005 version. DESIGN REVIEW POLICYIt is important in Civil Engineering to take the steps necessary to get the correct answer.Remember Hammurabi’s Law? In the "real world" practice plans, drawings and specificationsare reviewed and a responsible licensed PE is required to stamp them. In academia publicationsand research are also subjected to peer review prior to publication.Thus, this semester all your problem sets will be reviewed by two of your classmates prior totheir being turned in. This approach to having your work reviewed is called DESIGN REVIEW,and this idea, if not our process, may be familiar to you from other courses. The objective ofDESIGN REVIEW in our course is two fold. First and primarily

their horizontal positions, x2 – x1, is called the run from P1 to P2 .See Figure 4. The rise = y2 – y1, is called the change in y and is represented by the symbol Δy. The run = x2 – x1, is called the change in x and is represented by the symbol Δx.From geometry, it is known that only one line can pass through two points. Lines which are notvertical must cross the y-axis at a unique point called the y-intercept. In addition, lines whichare not horizontal must cross the x-axis at a unique point called the x-intercept.In the field of aviation, the direction of the flight of an aircraft is described by the angle with thenorth called the bearing. Another angle used in many applications is the angle of inclination, α,which is the

We are currentlyin the first phase and this paper focuses on the development of a survey instrument to measurestudent’s motivation, learning strategies and conceptual understanding. We draw on existinginstruments and scales to represent a broad range of constructs in a survey instrument that webelieve will be useful for engineering education researchers and practitioners alike.

By emphasizing what is important in the problem sets,TAs can help students focus their efforts and continue to work harder on mastering importantproblems. The important problems should be authentic (i.e. “real world”) problems that the studentswill find in engineering practice. This strategy can help students realize the relevance and valueof the underlying theories been used43.3.5.2 Problems should challenge students but still be within their grasp Homework problems should challenge students but still be achievable.

The third stage considers ethical responsibility in its full "social" sense.Typical problem-sets at this stage exemplify both collective and individual responsibility, andare typically extremely complex. Nuclear weaponry, biotechnology, world hunger, or the ethicsof technology transfer are typical examples. The fourth stage focuses on the public policyramifications of engineering, both through explicit action of engineers, and the political reactionto engineering innovation.

Teachers have provided consistent and positive feedback about thetraining received through Project Infuse. For example, 83% of teachers reported that the 2013training met or exceeded their expectations. Evaluation results also indicate that teachers have adeep appreciation of engineering and the value of infusing engineering into science classrooms.They believe infused lessons offer stronger real world connections for students and that studentsare more engaged during infused lessons. Even so, teachers are concerned about the amount oftime it takes to both create and implement infused lessons. Time

that first year students did not have the capacity to comprehend engineering design beforecompleting the fundamental coursework of engineering. Now, as the engineering curriculum hasprogressed, first year design courses, known as the cornerstone engineering courses, have become staplecourses across engineering programs in the United States [1]. Similarly, fourth year design courses,referred to as capstone courses, have seen significant development over time through integration ofindustry-sponsored projects with real world applications into the coursework. However, these capstonecourses serve as the only standard opportunity across engineering education for undergraduateengineering students to showcase their engineering education. In

In this sense, portfolios are sensitive to real learning rather than”learning” that is measured in small increments of time and with discrete instruments such asclassroom tests4.From a learning theory perspective, portfolios give the opportunity to highlight and supportapproaches to learning that have emerged over recent decades but are still not adequatelyimplemented in schools.
