We attempt to cast theserequirements in a form that constrains the student design in realistic, useful waysthat students can address within the scope of their project. For example, here isthe manufacturability requirement. GPR008: Manufacturability A production design is a project design that could reasonably be manufactured in large quantity (e.g. greater than 1000 units/yr). All production designs must be built from components and subassemblies that have a sustainable source of supply over the system lifetime. To demonstrate that this requirement is met, it must be shown that each

The findingsdiscussed in this paper provide valuable insights for construction education programs andindustry stakeholders. By addressing gender-specific factors in recruitment, retention, andsupport strategies, programs can work towards creating a more diverse and inclusive learningenvironment and, ultimately, a more balanced workforce in the construction industry.References[1] T.-D.

struggles with subjective elements suchas creativity, critical thinking, and originality [6]. These limitations raise concerns about thefairness and reliability of AI in grading assignments requiring higher-order cognitive skills.Bias is another critical issue in AI grading. Since AI models are trained on existing data, theymay inadvertently replicate biases in the training datasets [4]. For instance, studies havereported disparities in grading outcomes for non-native English speakers and minority groups,raising ethical questions about the use of AI in academic assessment [11].2.4.

The primary purpose of these groups is to support research and, to a lesserdegree, teaching activities. However, we characterize the group studied in this work as aResearch and Practice Group. This distinction is made to emphasize the fact that this group alsosupports activities that prepare students to practice engineering. In this way, the group alsoensures student success by building upon the tenets of the Relational Leadership Model5:purpose, inclusion, empowerment, ethics, and process.Further, the development of a research and practice group facilitates

A set of Program Educational Objectives was also developed by theadvisory board and was integrated into the CS program and queued for assessment. The originalCS program was not compliant with ABET Criterion for curriculum; it lacked math and sciencecomponents. It took about a year to revise the curriculum and took it through appropriateuniversity committees for approvals. The revisions consisted of development and addition of alecture and lab course in Scientific Problem Solving as well as courses in Linear Algebra,Probability and Statistics, Computer Ethics, and
