Thesechanges were made to introduce a concept of “global learning” where the laboratory experimentsundertaken by individual students are directly related to the material being covered in thelectures5. The “global learning” concept is based the best teaching method of induction, asdefined by Felder and Silverman6, 7.

University Marisa Exter is an Assistant Professor of Learning Design and Technology in the College of Education at Purdue University. Dr. Exter’s research aims to provide recommendations to improve or enhance university-level design and technology programs (such as Instructional Design, Computer Science, and Engineering). Some of her previous research has focused on software designers’ formal and non-formal educational experiences and use of precedent materials, and experienced instructional designers’ beliefs about design character. These studies have highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary skills and student engagement in large-scale, real-world projects. Dr. Exter currently leads an effort to evaluate a

Students like to havevarious tools and options available for them to learn and most importantly they should have theskills and competency that meets the requirement of the employers.Backward design approachA backward design approach (BDA) proposed and developed by Wiggins and McTighe [5] wasused to create this new course. By using this, instructors could delineate from their research andteaching goals and develop corresponding learning objectives for the course. The BDA approachis a persuasive approach for student-centered result-oriented learning. In a backward designapproach, the first step is to identify the student learning outcomes for the change.

The focus of this observation and evaluation is on safety,proper equipment handling, and sampling techniques. The small group interaction allows foreach RA to observe colleagues as they individually use the equipment for the first time helpingto reinforce their understanding and retention of the information.4. Following these steps, each RA is required to take a written certification examination. Theexamination covers material on reasons for sampling the selected

Their use was still found stimulating.Rationale for the study – The context of mathematics in engineering educationDesigning engineering education with mathematics and physics in the first two years of theprogram is not a law of nature. 4 It can hardly be argued that abstract mathematics is taught in theinitial stages of programs for pedagogical reasons. Rather, such a design reflects a Tayloristicview of industrial production transferred to education where context-free bits and pieces aredispensed by specialists to be assembled to a coherent whole in the end. 5 Most engineeringteachers claim that they need to build on a ”solid” mathematics and science base

All academic programs of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system that usegraduate teaching assistants are required to provide the TAs with preliminary training. For manyyears, the North Carolina State University (NCSU) College of Engineering met this requirementby sending its new TAs to a day-long campus-wide workshop. Many of the graduate studentscomplained that the workshop was too general to be of much value—their perception was thatthe things they needed to know to be TAs in engineering were different from what TAs inhumanities and social science and business and management courses needed.

Understanding hidden materials and validation of model accuracy willrequire the construction manager to understand how the project is actually put together, the“hands-on” component of construction. This is what the researcher considers “traditional”construction management education. In examining the highest scoring item, BIM quantity take-off and verification, this skill requires both BIM knowledge to use the computer model tocomplete a take-off and traditional math skills to verify the take-off quantities

Although theyhave proven educational benefits, and are generally required for accreditation, they represent asubstantial commitment of space, resources, and personnel. Because of the effort and financialinvestment involved in developing new lab experiments, it is easy for labs to stagnate andbecome out of date.
