students either preferred in-class active learning or were not sure for theSpring2020 semester. The percentage of students preferring online instruction increased for theSummer 2020 and Fall2020 semesters. As an example, just slightly over 50 percent of thestudents preferred in-class instruction as of the Fall2020 semester.Keywords: Active learning, In-class exercises, Fluid mechanics, Online learning exercises,1. IntroductionFluid mechanics is a core course for many, if not all, mechanical, civil, and environmentalengineering undergraduate curriculums throughout the world. However, previous studiesindicated that the students typically view the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course(s) aschallenging, resulting in low student performance
contract deliveryeducation.The findings of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on contract delivery ofconstruction projects by highlighting the significance of education for the evolution and adoptionof advanced methods in contract delivery of complex infrastructure projects. Although theintegration of ATC for contract delivery may address the shortcomings of different projectdelivery methods, it is not widely promoted, and many construction stakeholders are completelyunaware of such concepts. Therefore, the integration of such concepts in the constructionmanagement curriculum may extensively improve project delivery with the greatest potential forwide acceptance of this method in the future.References[1] A.

select an engineer of their choosing if it is not an immediate relative(mother/father or brother/sister). Students are encouraged to select someone in a field in whichthey are interested and are reminded this is one of the opportunities to tweak the class tosomething of their choosing. Other examples are group presentations on a company of thegroup’s choice. The presentation is to give an overview of the company and their business, thetype(s) of engineers they employ, and what roles those engineers have. The only stipulation isthat groups cannot double up (e.g. no two groups presenting on Tesla or Google).Lesson 5: Standardize credits across offeringsWith the common course code from Lesson 2 we realized we needed to standardize coursecredits

It is the researchers’intention that the act of sharing best practices can assist others in teaching efficiently andeffectively, not only during a pandemic but also for teaching during normal circumstances. Theoverarching goal of this research is to “move the needle” with respect to improving persistence 7and completion rates of engineering students worldwide through implementing best practices inteaching. Although our focus was on best practices within engineering, we are confident that othercourses outside of engineering would also benefit from this information.6. References1. Binnewies, S. and

rung may become a knowledge disaster waiting to happen. Thehierarchical progressive structure promotes integrated curricula that collectivelycontribute to student learning outcomes. Prerequisite knowledge provides students witha strong foundation on which to build on and connect to upper-level courses. Theresearch by Efimba and Smith [3] explored the problem of unreadiness and the need tostrengthen students’ prerequisite knowledge. The research posits that studentunreadiness may result from the following reasons.1. Taking a course out of sequence and, therefore, do not have the prerequisites.2. Performed poorly or just barely passed the prerequisite course(s).3. Performed well but have forgotten most of what they learned in the

Education, 2021 Cultural dimensions in academic disciplines, a comparison between Ecuador and the United States of AmericaAbstractBroadening participation in engineering has been part of the engineering education researchagenda for years. We argue that if we can understand the traits of the different dimensions ofculture in engineering, we can identify potential solutions to broaden participation. In this study,we are comparing how engineering students from Ecuador and the United States characterizetheir culture orientation based on Hofstede´s cultural dimensions theory. Data were collectedwith engineering students at major polytechnic universities in Ecuador and the United States.The survey was translated into Spanish for the

This researchwill help reveal the scope of LTW’s value and guide iterations of the online tools andcurriculum.On a more general level, I envision that LTW will contribute to a deeper integration of music inthe schools’ curriculum, for example by incorporating other subjects such as the creation ofelectronic music through computing, and the relations between music and data science, history,literature, foreign lenguages, and world-culture. 10References.[1] J.
