The average score of options A-D was 2.64, 2.62, 3.23, and 2.30, respectivelywhich indicates a similar medium desirability between Option A and Option B. In addition,Option C was reported as the favorite option while Option D was rated as the least favoriteoption. Figure 6 shows the percentage of each option at each desirability level. 50 47 45 40

, enjoyedincreased GPA, and had a better college performance [21], [26], [28]–[30]. In general, an internship canimprove the academic learning status of a student by a) providing more profound learning of subjects incomparison to the limited subject introduction in the classroom b) enabling the students’ critical thinkingon complex problems of real projects c) providing an ideal and engaging continuous learning environmentfor the students [31]. Internships can also benefit the universities. Based on Routon and Walker’s [30]study, for universities, internships can increase students’ satisfaction rates, graduate school enrollmentrates, and coursework retention [30]. Employers also benefit from the internship programs. For them,internships can provide an

We will document characteristics of the problematic situation (i.e.,location, type of infrastructure, issue to be addressed), documents either exchanged and orproduced (i.e. photos, diagrams, plans, contracts, bids), information about the stakeholders (i.e.role, expertise), and actions performed by them. Through the preliminary courses, in the fieldstudents will collect information regarding performance aspects of buildings connected to designissues. Then, they will feed the information into an ad hoc repository. A major framing elementof the content in the database will be: a. the performance of the infrastructure under high environmental stress conditions, and b. how this performance can be either

These project-based courses were acombination of fundamental problem solving (teaming, programming basics, units, mechanics,statistics, etc.) and instruction in basic engineering graphics (orthographic projection,dimensioning, tolerances, CAD software skills, etc.). These courses were divided into threetracks for the purposes of providing specific topics of interest to different departments. Track A(primarily Civil, Mechanical, and Aerospace) focused on mechanics, and graphics instructionincluded AutoCAD and SolidWorks. Track B (primarily Electrical and Computer Science)focused on C++ programming and received no graphics instruction. Track C (primarilyChemical and Petroleum

According to our records, it is not uncommon that more than thirty percentof students fail the course in their first attempt. The evaluation of the course is usually the sumof: a) Marks of two partial exams b) Mark of collaborative work and homework c) Mark of the final examThe two partial exams usually account for

What isknown is that many schools are attempting to address this SLO in a manner they see fit based ontheir interpretation of what SLO #9 means.Similar to the ACCE, the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) [2] requires anumber of student performance criteria (SPC) that share likeness to ACCE requirements. Inparticular, the following NAAB SPCs require architecture programs to demonstrate studentachievement of the following: B.10: Understanding of the fundamentals of building costs, which must include project financing methods and feasibility, construction cost estimating, construction
