Toreinforce the concepts, the game is designed so that students repeat this decision-making processover 10 rounds of the simulation while also interacting with team members (peers) to make thedecisions. Our decision to use a game as well as our choice of the game itself is grounded in theliterature of learning strategies. The following sections review these theories, describe the gamewe have incorporated in our courses, and provide some context for the larger project of whichthis effort is a part.Learning Strategies and Educational GamesBehavioral, cognitive, constructivist, and experiential theories of learning have influenced thedesign of learning activities, including

Throughout the course they have amixture of group and individual problems that relate directly to the equipment they worked with inclass, and the data they collected using it. They are also required to submit periodic status reports sothat we can monitor each group’s progress and intervene if necessary. The students will have a finalexam consisting of an assessment of an existing case study design. The course grade is based 60% onthe design project, 5% on the case study analysis, 20% on homework, and 15% on the final designanalysis. The group portion of each

A caring faculty can assist in bringing students closertogether through formation of learning partnerships, peer teaching, and sharing data andinformation with one another. It has been astonishing to see how working in collaborativedissertation groups has affected students.

to fulfillment of the necessary KSAs for responsible charge.Employers know there are gaps, especially in “professional skills” (communication, writing,ethical responsibilities, etc.) and wonder what to do about it. The CEBOK3 identifies each ofthese skills and defines the attributes that are gained through mentored experience and life-longself-development to fulfill them. What is needed is a program that translates the content of thePG, ME, and SD outcomes into a format that employers can understand and use to develop theirearly-career civil engineers. ASCE is currently developing such a program (described later in thispaper)These concerns are further exacerbated by shifts in workplace culture as workers demand moreflexible schedules and

This helped students work withone another and be exposed to outside thoughts and ideas they may not have otherwise. As aresult, students are more engaged in the topic at hand, rather than just sitting there listening to alecture. Moreover, integrating the arts, and bio-inspired design improves student engagement..What improves student engagement, as far as engineering students, is opening the class up to amore collaborative environment

After these 45 minutes, they had a 15-minute breakin another room where they had water, juice, coffee, cookies, and chips, take a break fromthe exam, and they could talk about anything (including the exam), but they could not bringanything from the exam room nor write anything; during the 15 minute coffee break thestudents were monitored

He thinks that women do not gointo engineering only because they choose not to, which is related to the first conceptionthat systemic discrimination (a form of HC) is not an issue, yet the experiences andstatistics of marginalized individuals in engineering argue otherwise. The participantdoes not account for gender stereotypes and influences that impact women’s choices togo into engineering, such as the influence of family, peer groups, and societal/culturalgender stereotypes on the attraction of adolescent boys to STEM-related subjects andemphasis on their performance [48].

This form of reflection is called “write to learn” and can helpstudents improve their ability to retrieve information, make connections between new and oldmaterial, and explain concepts in their own words. [14] These journal entries were used toassign the “preparation grade” (see Table 1), and the questions asked by students in their journalentries formed the basis of a short (10 – 15 minute) review of the lecture material at
