workshops have been hosted by the United StatesMilitary Academy, the University of Arkansas, and Northern Arizona University. A new site atthe University of Colorado, Boulder is opening this summer.Post ETW participant surveys have yielded a large body of anecdotal evidence about the accruedbenefits of this hands-on, learning-by-doing workshop 3,4,5,6. One consistent theme regularlyidentified by the workshop site directors was the interest by participants for a second, moreadvanced, ExCEEd-type experience. In 2007, ASCE’s Committee on Faculty Development(CFD), a national-level committee tasked with overseeing ETW, conducted a longitudinal surveyof the past participants of ETW to detect the long-term impacts of the workshop and to

Missing fromBIM models is that knowledge regarding each system. A revised work process utilizing BIM stillrequires individuals to meet and share knowledge regarding their system. Currently, BIM can onlyassist in resolving physical conflicts; however, coordination must satisfy critical design criteria,evaluate constructability issues, and address operations and maintenance concerns. Duringcoordination, trades must consider all aspects from design, construction, and operations

Does this new approach add any value to the learning experience? The financialconsideration and wider access are, of course, desirable in themselves. To add to the confusionthere are also conflicting reports about how successful the web-based learning environment is inmeeting student expectations and needs.

generation ago freshmen would have had very little chance of finding a door to knockon with the hope of getting some understanding and encouragement. The rigorous freshmanand sophomore courses in engineering schools were viewed as a way to weed out weakstudents. Those who could not deal with it were of no one’s concern. Engineering schoolsonly wanted the best students. Back then, the local saying “Whoever wants acorns mustclimb the tree,” was a sentiment often expressed in university corridors. It was only after the student crisis in our school in 1996, which acted as a wake up call, astrong ring/alarm at our unused faculty ears, that the real extent of the engineering shortagebecame apparent. We realized that we could not afford to be complacent

Corporations andhigher educational institutions alike, are seeing more and more that investing in diversityis a social responsibility.Teaching busy students to seek understanding of contemporary, professional, societal,and global issues is a hard sell. Most students are focused on the current paper due, thecurrent examination to study for, and the latest campus social affair. To adequatelyprepare students faculty must encourage systems thinking. It is when students are taughtto see the system and the interacting parts of a system that they develop a more globalviewpoint.

Only upon activationof a faculty account can the solutions to the problems be accessed.One of the reviewer concerns of the project was that faculty would not readily develop problemsand submit them to the database for posting.

This situation is similar to the SLCC, where it is up to the students toask their instructor about the possible impact of the new environment on theirperformance. From our previous discussions, it is clear that many students facesignificant adjustment challenges, and it may be necessary to utilize all possible methodsof preparation much more carefully. In the case of international student transfer, in mostcountries, students are at least told about these academic challenges in their final year,and methods for coping are

On a few occasions, the authors did forget to postJiTT assignments until late in the day prior to class, so comments relating to the timing wereexpected.From the perspective of the authors (faculty), both new to JiTT, the JiTT concept seemed to be avaluable approach to this type of course, but the implementation was not as effective as it couldbe.

Whenlooking at our syllabus, we identified core topics in the Newtonian dynamics class which we hadhistorically taught over multiple lecture periods. We wanted to choose topics that had more thanone day on the topic so that we could cover theory on the first day on the topic using a traditionallecture style. We then used the follow on days to video tape examples and have the studentswatch them as homework, and we used the lecture time for the students to work problems.

However, engineeringeducation reform is now a global crisis that is being brought into sharper focus as the worldbegins to confront such transnational issues as climate change, decaying infrastructure,infrastructure security, natural disasters, etc. While engineers remain strong in terms of theirtechnological skills, they are generally weak in terms of their management and communicationcapabilities. They do not fully understand the concept of globalization; have a firm grasp of theissues confronting the 21st-century engineer; lack the competencies that would enable them torise to leadership positions within government and industry; and are not developing curricula thatwould train
