Information Technology two of themost ubiquitous STEM fields in the 21 st century. No matter the discipline area, it is clear fromlooking at workplace trends that students’ studies and professional development would benefitfrom exposure to, and comfort with, computing skills such as programming, and increasedfacility in computational thinking. Introducing a broader range of students to coding andcomputational thinking practices has been used as a strategy for broadening participation incomputing (BPC) [1, 2]. There have been numerous calls to bring computational thinking intothe general K-12 curriculum to both improve computational literacy in the next generation andenhance general education (e.g., [3, 4]).

physical equivalents.Therefore, VR is very appropriate to be taken as an alternative solution for dangerous and costlytraining programs (e.g., firefighter training, military training, disaster relief training,new-employee training, etc.). In addition, VR can conserve most of the human and materialresources, and it can make them accessible remotely for the participants. Thus, it is a goodcandidate for the development of virtual education systems. Among the various implementationsof virtual education systems, virtual laboratories are used at various levels of education, rangingfrom the education at elementary schools to the education at universities 2,3

The AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers maintains an official policy, formally supporting the use of peerreview in engineering2. As an educational tool, peer review can be a valuable way to providestudents feedback without a significant increase in instructor workload. Despite all that iscurrently known about our students, the best mechanism for assigning reviewers to reviewees ina peer review of artifacts is still considered to be blind, random assignment.

The use of Open EducationResources (OER), which are materials that have low or no cost for academic use, can helpaddress the issue of access. Construction Management Technology courses can realize thisbenefit relatively easily, as the needed resources may often be accessed or created based onmaterials available from public agencies at all levels of government.

This constructdraws heavily on John Dewey’s seminal work in education and experiential learning.Transformative experience has been

Engineering Education, 2017 Philosophy and Engineering Education: Should teachers have a Philosophy of Education?Abstract. Arguments for engineering educators having a formalated philosophy ofengineering education are presented. The perspectives that a person takes to moral dilemmaswill be driven by the beliefs they have about the nature of morality and truth. Similarly, thebeliefs that a person has about the content of the curriculum, instruction and learning will, inall likelihood be founded on one of the great ‘isms of philosophy. A discussion of the debatethat followed the publication of the proposed revision of the ABET criteria is used toillustrate the argument. As would be expected at a conference such
