early 1970’s, state budget cuts forced the elimination of funding for instructionalequipment and laboratories. Rapid changes in technology, particularly the growing application ofcomputing, presented challenges to maintain quality in the instructional laboratories in theCollege of Engineering. A funding program in the 1980’s helped to revitalize some of the engineering lab facilities;however, many objectives were unfulfilled. The realization of the importance of computertechnologies by industry prompted significant contributions by technology companies. TheIllinois Society of Professional Engineers promoted the establishment of the Illinois EngineeringEquipment Grant Program for the purchase of lab equipment and other resources. The need

Scholars define STEM from different perspectives, fordifferent purposes and by using different (or no) coding schemes. Broadly, STEM is classified byeither education or occupational definitions. Through meta-analysis, we created a standardizeddefinition of STEM that combines education and occupational definitions with NSOPF codes5.Educational DefinitionsMost scholars focus on STEM as an academic discipline. Some use the broad categories ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Math, while others define specific CIP codes. Despite thegranularity of the definition, some disciplines are consistently defined as STEM. Using simplefrequency

The narrative for the introduction is as follows: “We all rememberthe day that the bins revolted on our campus. It happened when an engineering student threw aplastic bottle in the composting bin. The ground shook and a loud roar came from the bin. Then,the bins from all of the campus revolted. They grew and started to attack by throwing all of theirtrash back at us. Now we all live in fear of the bins, and we wish we could have been moreresponsible with our trash. However, now

VC2L.ConclusionBuilding Information Modeling is a process which aids the integration, collaboration and projectmanagement for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Its benefit is beingseen in the construction industry and increasingly companies are adapting it. As the demandincreases, it is becoming even more important for a construction curriculum to allow thetraditional methods of education to incorporate technology and skills for future growth. To allowfor the existing heavy workload of the undergraduate program of Construction Management(CM) to absorb BIM, it is important to integrate it throughout the curriculum. As this methodicalchange happens, the existing skill level of the students who are not habitual users of thecomputer programs

Advanced polymers are being developed for use inemerging areas of technology such as medical devices, smart packaging systems, fuel cells, andelectronic device fabrication. Conventional plastics find extensive use as a material ofconstruction for many products common in daily life. Their low weight, resistance to weatherand wear, and economical production, make them attractive alternatives to glass, metal, andwood for use in products ranging

Achieving this sort ofeducation can be done by performing an engineering analysis to determine the volume content ofa wine bottle. The project conducted here was to determine the volume of a wine bottle bymeasuring it at various points and using mathematics to perform this real-world analysis. Itsobjective is not only to reflect on what was done but to introduce it as a STEM-related project toencourage new growth within the STEM fields. There was also extended reasoning
