This took the form of semi-structured conversation andquestioning investigating other evidence-based pedagogical practices the instructor hassuccessfully implemented in the classroom.MethodologyThis article can be characterized as an autoethnographic study. In autoethnography, theresearcher relates their lived experiences[4], and provides “highly personalized accounts thatdraw upon the experiences of the author/researcher to extend sociological understanding”[5, p.21]. Autoethnography, otherwise known as critical autobiography, is based on two assumptions
. The root of the problem might be in scholars' unwillingness to crossdisciplinary boundaries. As Ancarani (1995: 653) argued, “there has been relatively little contactto date between scholarship in international relations or political economy and the advances inscience and technology studies.... As a result, basic analytic concepts, including ‘globalization’and science and technology themselves, have been taken for granted and have not beenproblematized to a far greater degree than in more traditional areas of S&T research, such aslaboratory studies or controversies.”Furthermore there are significant conceptual and empirical problems with social theories thatmake implicit a possible role for engineers in globalization. For example

overemphasis on diverse engineeringapplications and Python libraries within lectures have diluted its focus on programmingfundamentals. As a result, many engineering students lack the foundational programmingknowledge needed to effectively apply computational tools in more advanced engineeringcourses. Moreover, this deficiency leaves students underprepared to meet the programming andcomputational demands of many engineering careers upon graduation. Recognizing thesechallenges, we seek to redesign CS 101 to better align with the needs of engineeringstudents.Previous research provides valuable insights into CS1 redesign. Efforts to redesign CS1 coursesfor non-CS major students have introduced specialized approaches tailored to different studentinterests

versus a direct comparison of the course objectives [5] can also helpdemonstrate whether a student's perception of the course communication is accurate. Manystudies have been conducted to evaluate written communication [6], allowing students todifferentiate between reports, presentations, proposals, and design documentation. This typeof communication evaluation is commonly used in introductory-level engineering classes.Other studies [7]-[8] concentrate on communication mediums that engineering studentsshould master. These documents are primarily concerned with written documentation, oralpresentations, and electronic documentation. Many current papers focus on thecommunication skills that engineering students will need after graduation. However

Studies also indicate that the arts,including the visual arts, can be a tool to aid transition through these identities to enhance

For undergraduate and graduate courses in power electronicsand electrical drives there are a demand for high level modeling of the integrated motor drive,real time testing of different control algorithms, and evolution of fault tolerant controllers.Thus performing these types of studies provide the student with the hands-on experiencewhich is the main objective of electric drives courses.

For the owner, DB contracting is more appealing because itgives a single point of contact for both design and construction. In the past DB was utilized forcomplex projects such as industrial power plants and oil refineries but now is being utilized forall kinds of private and public sector projects. It is therefore imperative for schools ofconstruction to include DB programs in their curriculums and devote a significant amount oftime in teaching DB philosophy alongside DBB and CM project delivery systems.
