researchers currently have 70% of the study participation from the College ofEducation and Human Development. The early data from the College of Education and HumanDevelopment shows some similar preferences for technology and furniture arrangement. Anotherkey difference seen from early data collection is the disparity between ample dedicated studyspaces, such as student lounges or available unoccupied classroom use. For example, thesestudents perceive they cannot use a classroom when not in session.Theories: ● Due to the nature of their studies and educational programs, the assumption is that the type of image responses will be different from participants majoring in degrees in Architecture. ● We believe Education students do not stay

University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 HPC as a Service in EducationAbstractAdvances in Cloud Computing have opened many chapters in Information Technology.Numerous service platforms offer clients of the cloud ease of use and flexibility of using theprovided services. Education with billions of potential users worldwide is a major target. Anemerging service called HPC-as-a-Service (HPCaaS) targets Science, Technology, Engineering,and Math (STEM) users. In this paper we discuss the use of HPCaaS platform in STEMeducation. We argue that such a service can significantly alleviate a major obstacle in teachingparallel programming for the STEM students.Cloud computing

Engineering Education, 2025Analysis of Existing Building Structures Using Laser Scanner and 3D ModelsAbstractThe construction industry is increasingly adopting 3D scanning technology, which has gainedpopularity as the technology advances. Laser scanning can accurately map and visualize existinginfrastructure, providing data-rich 3D point cloud models. This technology serves as afundamental platform for Building Information Modeling (BIM) and immersive technology.Recent studies suggest that using appropriate 3D scanning techniques can enhance thereconstruction processes of existing buildings, particularly in the absence of necessarydocumentation. During inspections, 3D scanners not only enable safe assessments of currentstructural conditions but also
