The remainder of the course covers broader themessuch as the economic significance of infrastructure, infrastructure planning, teamwork, ethics,etc. Within this course, students work in teams to assess five infrastructure components from thesurrounding campus and community. The I2I course has been piloted three times and will betaught for a fourth time in the spring 2012 semester

We further assert that methods described herein beconsidered as an additional criterion for ABET accreditation.Literature ReviewA variety of information literacy assessment techniques have been developed to meet thegrowing demands of accountability in library instruction. Indirect assessment strategies such asinterviews, focus groups and surveys have been used by some institutions to gain practicalinsights into student research behavior. Typically, since library instruction occurs in a “one-shot” class session, librarians often employ some form of direct assessment, mainly selected-response (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, or true/false) assessments focusing on library skills,the appropriate and ethical use of information

If the product is neutral, then no user can rightly complain about an unsafeproduct, and no seller would be liable for any damage or harm caused by use of their product.Thus it is essential that students understand the non-neutrality concept and its implications.Some preliminary work has identified pedagogical approaches to instilling better understandingof non-neutrality in the classroom10, including use of descriptive yet simpler

This reflection results in modifications to their established meaning perspectivesand the development of new frames of reference through a transformative shift in perspectives[26].A learner’s frame of reference comprises their habits of mind, shaped by life experiences,previous education, personal interests, and social influences [27].

This case study was developed for engineering and construction management students toformulate, discuss, and decide on strategies, actions, and solutions to provide the best value tothe project owner when implementing TVD.

preparingstudents for the complexities of modern engineering roles is an imperative shift recognized acrossacademic and industrial spheres (Queiruga-Dios et al., 2021). This transformation is driven by thegrowing demand for engineers who are not only technically adept but also possess a broadunderstanding of the environmental, societal, and ethical implications of engineering projects (deVere et al., 2009; McGinn, 2018). A key aspect of this educational reform is the emphasis oninterdisciplinary learning and the application of knowledge to real-world problems, fostering ageneration of engineers equipped to tackle global challenges with innovative and sustainablesolutions (Jamieson & Lohmann, 2009; Froyd, Wankat, & Smith, 2012).

Review Board (IRB) conducts ethical reviews on all researchproposals involving human research participants, including the use of their personal data.Once the list of relevant stakeholders was finalised and IRB approval was granted, the secondphase began. To gather input from the stakeholders, survey forms and several focus groupdiscussions were originally planned. Unfortunately, Covid-19 pandemic struck and restrictedour approach to mainly online surveys. As such, survey forms were prepared and sent torespondents using “Verint” online survey system that allowed each respondent to receive aunique survey link via email. The response generated from each link was stored on thesystem safely.Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, relatively
