Diploma on Structural HealthMonitoring for Civil Engineering and Architecture ProgramsAbstractIn this paper we present a challenge-based teaching model for a full semester ofspecialization in the Civil Engineering program in our University. In this minor orspecialization diploma, students develop competencies associated to Structural HealthMonitoring (SHM), Instrumentation and non-destructive testing of Structures.During a ten week period, several modules are taught to students with material aboutCivionics, SHM, damage detection in Structures, non-destructive techniques and Loadtesting of real structures. For this purpose a on campus bridge was instrumented withsensors for deformation, inclinometers, accelerometers and displacement sensors

regarding active experimentation[7]. Open-ended laboratory courses or even traditional classes with experimentation exposure have shownto provide greater learning value as compared to the traditional lecture only focus [2,8]. Such coursesemploy an approach to learning science that are backed by a significant body of work on research-basedand active pedagogies in various engineering disciplines as well as have demonstrated superior levels ofstudent engagement and learning. Introduction of real-world problems not only allows students to masterappropriate techniques and technologies, but also allows the students to design strategies for solvingproblems and practice an overall process of inquiry [9-10]. Since experimentation is so critical to
Paper ID #41047A Comparison between the Different Accredited Architectural EngineeringPrograms through ABET and CEABDr. Rachel Mosier, Oklahoma State University Dr. Rachel Mosier is an Associate Professor in the Construction Engineering Technology program at Oklahoma State University, with a background in structural engineering and project management. Dr. Mosier has received regional and international teaching awards through the Associated Schools of Construction.Dr. Rania Al-Hammoud, MpowerU Training & Consultancy Inc.

, a gap has been created between these branches of constructionto the point that their teaching approaches are different, thus forming a deficiency ofunderstanding between them and complex working environments in professional life.This study seeks to understand the cultural differences between civil engineering andarchitecture students, based on Hofstede's theory of cultural dimensions. Fivedimensions are evaluated: Individuality, Power distance, Uncertainty avoidance,Masculinity, and Long-term orientation. Data were collected from four groups: civilengineering students pre-pandemic and post-pandemic and architecture students’ pre-pandemic and post-pandemic to determine if the new teaching methods associated withthe COVID 2019 pandemic, may
