other fields such as business, medical science, and military-related programs, strive to develop applications to exploit the advantages of simulations.However, construction engineering and management programs have been less prone to adoptingsimulations in their curricula. So far, only a few instances of simulation application have beendeveloped and tested in construction programs, therefore there is a need to fill this gap. Thispaper explores the outcomes of a simulation application as a project-based pedagogical model,and investigates how construction project management concepts can be perceived byconstruction management students. Transformation of traditional subject-based lectures ofconstruction project management to project-based, virtual

This advantage accrues at the cost of an additional burden on theinstructor who evaluates the students’ work. This paper reports on research that was performed toinvestigate the feasibility of having the microcomputer - the platform used to deliver the case studyto students - also serve to generate base-line solutions to the multitude of problems that result.1.

stiffness is predicted, and they are mechanically tested for stiffness. A number ofparameters are discussed and used, such as geometry and volume fraction. However, the effectand importance of these parameters on mechanical behavior can be hard to grasp. Hand analysisis cumbersome, and may not be friendly to relational analysis.Modeling can address these issues by allowing the student to readily change material anddimensional parameters to observe their consequences on mechanical behavior. This approachhas been successfully used in other MET Program courses such Mechanics of Materials andTechnical Dynamics. Examples include the effect of length on the moment of a cantilever beamand the effect of various beam shapes on mechanical behavior.This study

impact of globalization.Teaching issues like cultural diversity to technical students can be a hard sell. It is not enough tosay that ABET requires it or that “Engineer 2020” desires it. We can provide lists of reasons whycertain organizations and task forces have come to see cultural understanding as an essential partof technical education. Still many technical students remain skeptical about the need to studytopics not directly related to their specializations in technology. The authors propose that thiskind of skepticism can be allayed in a classroom situation if students can be guided, through casestudies, to comprehend the connection between innovation and cultural understanding in a globaleconomy.

such as design workinvolve the aspect of creativity. But, a lot of engineering has to do with the math applicationthereof through engineering science and analysis courses. There is a very heavy focus on theprimary course work in teaching students how to do math and analysis to make sure what theybuild is safe, but a lack of courses that encourage the creativity of students in their work.Creativity in this aspect could be in the design itself, the flexibility allowed, or other ways tosolve a problem. In pursuit of this issue, the question gets brought up in how does the schoolsystem prepare for and promote creativity in early schooling?Colloquially (and euphemistically), undergraduate engineering programs "beat” the creativity outof students

Specifically, researchers argue that mental well-being is systematicallyrelated to students' academic self-regulation. However, it is not clear how these three constructsare related, and what direct and indirect effects may exist from social ties to academic self-regulation. In the context of engineering education, this question is especially relevant becausethe literature has documented gaps in the formation of ties of minority social
