An evaluation of theEngineering Building at the University of Texas at San Antonio has been conducted to determinewhat it will take to make it the first LEED certified green building on the UTSA campus. This studywas prompted by (1) recent indoor air quality issues in the building, (2) recent roof leaks whichrequired renovation and mold remediation within the building, (3) the planned departure of twoengineering departments (Electrical and Civil) from the building in the Fall 2005, and (4) the UTSA’scommitment to renovate the building for continued use by the Mechanical Engineering department.This study focuses on the LEED certification process for existing buildings, especially the pointawarding schedule and different levels of green

” Following the format of the product and process laboratory for engineeringstudents, our language students worked in teams of four, beginning by researching thehistory and principles of their device, both in English and Spanish. They used the deviceto evaluate its functionality and disassemble and reassemble it to study its optics,mechanics, and circuit boards. Subsequently, they presented their device to otherstudents, in Spanish. Thus, they furthered their knowledge of device, language, andculture. In doing so they derived all the benefits of the original program and alsoexpanded their Spanish engineering vocabulary and developed their presentation skills ina language that is in fact becoming a necessity in our global community Each lab has

In spite of nearly pervasive practice, outreach has largely escapedsystematic, comprehensive examination. The vast majority of outreach studies have focused on singleprograms. Attention to outreach as a field of activity at colleges and universities is almost non-existent.As a result, little data are available for consulting on questions such as why colleges and universities dooutreach, whom they reach, what kinds of outreach events they offer, how they are staffed and paid for,among many other pertinent issues.This

These effects are as good as or better than theeffects of a teacher assessment.”3 Although some researchers may disagree, McGourty,Dominick, and Reilly also conclude that “student self and peer ratings can be consistent withfaculty perceptions of student performance.”4 In essence, students, with a modicum of training,can effectively gauge the work of their classmates and benefit from that type of evaluation,especially in the formative stages.The technical

This program was created in order tobetter show educational benefits, quality of learning, and retention and graduation rates. Sincethere are no standardized tests for the Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs), there was a need todevelop a way to document and assess student learning in undergraduate education.The VALUE project was driven by an advisory board made up of 12 people, national andinternational leaders. The main goal was to generate a way to evaluate student learning that wasbased on the work students produced through the curriculum across a set of Essential

In particular the paperreports on what students believe is the reciprocity between the liberal arts and engineering i.e. what do theliberal arts bring to engineering, and what does engineering bring to the liberal arts.
