It is that tacit knowledge that makes the difference between an academic homework assignment and a genuine research project.18However, once students are sufficiently mature, they should be able to deal with changingrequirements: For an advanced … class, tell them this is what it is what it is like out in industry. … You get an assignment you think will be easy and you find out the person before you did not do their job correctly. Your job is to get it working with the changes that were supposed to be initially made. Depending on how much change, I would either change the deadline or keep it the same.

Excursions were organized as part of the trip toexpand students’ cultural awareness.Prior to their visit, the Civil Engineering Department and the Office of Institutional Research,Planning and Assessment (IRPA) of RHIT developed and administered three assessmentinstruments in order to collect data on the short term impact of international design projects onstudent experiences. These instruments included a pre-trip survey, a student focus group, anddaily student journals. This paper discusses the results of the data collected during thisassessment process, suggestions for future improvement of the experience, and the need to assessthe long-term benefits of student

Telfordactually conducted full scale tests as well as constructed many of his bridges in thefoundry before moving to the construction site to ensure constructability and safety. Wattwould not have been as successful without a politically connected partner in Boulton whowas able to get a 25 year extension on his initial patent. The iron making process thatmade Telford’s bridges economically possible caused huge environmental issues forEngland. The explosions of boilers on steam paddle boats eventually led to governmentregulation to provide for public safety. Telford’s early success coupled

The coursesemploy a series of “in-class labs”, integrating the traditional lab and lecture sessions into one,and all in-class activities are done on student-owned laptops [1, 2]. The labs are crafted tocapture the student’s attention the entire time owing to the large distraction of having acomputer. Many of the homework assignments and case studies come from industrial sponsoreddata and represent real world situations. Course content as well as teaching methodologiesemployed and developed have been described in earlier research [1, 2]. Even though this courseis offered in two

distribution system was used to answer a series of research questions relatedto student viewing behaviors. The observations presented in this paper indicate that on average,students watched a little more than half of the recorded lecture content that they were expectedto. Viewing rates steadily decreased throughout the semester, but were not affected by videolength or day of week. Female students were found to exhibit significantly higher viewing ratesthan their male counterparts. Effectively, no correlation was observed between viewership ratesand course performance as measured by final course grades.Introduction/Course StructureIn the College of Engineering at Villanova University, several courses have been transitioned toan inverted format over the
