conception and the plan of design. As such, some formal construction training isneeded to provide our graduates with the necessary tools for successful practice.However, adding coursework on construction to the undergraduate curriculum is not a simpletask. Civil engineering undergraduate programs are constantly encouraged to reduce credit hoursand to increase emphasis on liberal arts and social sciences. At the same time, technology isadvancing at an exponential rate, which is requiring the civil engineer to be knowledgeable ofnew techniques and tools such as GIS, GPS, computational mechanics, modeling, etc. Whilefive-year programs or a master’s degree have been suggested by ASCE and others, it is felt thatsome basic training in construction at the
Session 2793 Course Assessment Plan: A Tool for Integrated Curriculum Management R. Bruce Floersheim, Margaret Bailey and Stephen J. Ressler United States Military Academy at West PointAbstractAs we enter the 21st Century in engineering education, a common desire exists toimprove curriculum structure, integration and assessment. Much has been written anddiscussed in workshops and professional journals concerning the top-down process forassessing and/or revising a program curriculum. Institutions are finally realizing theycannot afford to rely solely upon the senior capstone design experience to be theintegrator of all

Teachers and Students. Page 15.762.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Integrating Engineering to Middle School Curriculum by Training TeachersABSTRACT. Providing K-12 students an earlier exposure to engineering is recognized as away to prepare them for postsecondary courses. There has been a significant increase inacademies and workshops addressing this concept. Since there is a total turnover of studentseach year, training K-12 teachers has been thought as an efficient approach. Further, teacherscan integrate engineering concepts during the academic year which provides a natural transition.Based on this concept, two
Using Learning Objectives for Course Design and Curriculum Improvement Donald D. Carpenter Civil Engineering Department Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, MI 48075AbstractLearning Objectives are statements of specific observable actions a student should be able toperform after an established period of time (a lecture, course, or curriculum). LearningObjectives, which are also commonly referred to as Instructional, Teaching, or EducationalObjectives, clarify the expectations of faculty in terms of measurable or observable studentperformance. In other words, these statements describe the ability of

integrates computers, electronics and physical hardware. Prof Lindsay’s background is in Remote laboratories, investigating whether remote and simulated access alternatives to the traditional in-person laboratory experience can provide the high quality learning outcomes for students. Prof Lindsay’s work in Remote and Virtual laboratory classes has shown that there are significant differ- ences not only in students’ learning outcomes but also in their perceptions of these outcomes, when they are exposed to the different access modes. These differences have powerful implications for the design of remote and virtual laboratory classes in the future, and also provide an opportunity to match alternative access modes to the

This allowsfor temperature profile and exact temperatures to be maintained for a variety of applications.Since the faculty group was working as a team, we were able to design a laboratory module thatcould be used through the entire curriculum. The sophomores see the oven in a second year 3material science lab as it is used to heat specimens, and for them it is a sophisticated oven thatrecords temperature. However, the next year in a systems and measurement laboratory the samestudents program the oven to create very specific
