All materials submitted by the teams at the conclusion of a course milestones werescored by at least two faculty using rubrics followed by comparison of scores from raters. Inmost cases scores were in good agreement; where differences existed the instructors comparednotes and arrived at a consensus scores. The rubric scoring categories were also mapped toassessment of ABET outcomes [5].Overall the use of structured milestones and defined team roles with different

To move beyond transfershock and further enhance transfer pathways as a more efficient and effective mechanism toattain baccalaureate degrees, education researchers are calling for a shift in future research—lessemphasis on input/output models (e.g., student characteristics / performance outcomes), andmore focus on processes or what happens to transfer students’ between entry and exit.5 Thisstudy seeks to fill this need.

Technical losses are from inevitableinefficiencies that come from the physical characteristics of power systems [5]. Non-technicallosses include losses due to errors in processes, record keeping, as well as theft [5]. Non-technical losses are especially damaging because they are avoidable, and thus akin to assignablecauses in Six Sigma [6], yet they often persist due to inadequate enforcement mechanisms andresource constraints.Table 1.

However, instructors face a variety ofchallenges when integrating data science concepts into their courses such as already full coursecontents and the wide range of students’ backgrounds and familiarity with data processing anddata analysis tools [3]. While previous research has led to the development of instructional datascience materials within specific domains [4], [5], such resources focus on data scienceinstruction embedded in one domain.

The absence of universal acceptance does not imply thatthe result is not true knowledge, and that knowledge might only be attained reasonably byworking from that metaphysical base.

that does not appear as cutting-edge or innovative. As aresult, the public often assumes that civil engineers are not pushing the boundaries of creativityand technology in the same way other engineers might [20-21].However, innovation in civil engineering differs from that in other engineering disciplines, suchas Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical engineering, which tend to be more product or process-oriented [23-25]. Civil engineering innovation often involves improving designs, materials, andconstruction methods to meet the needs of an evolving society, rather than focusing on creatingentirely new products or processes.
