education institutions. The publication review also providesa basis for this paper by means of reflection and evidence and seeks to draw out strategies forother similar programs that wish to examine their facilities, not only in conjunction with studentand faculty satisfaction but also as it supports everyday function and usefulness correlated toteaching and learning. The ultimate goal is to inspire academic programs in any discipline tocarefully analyze and thoughtfully create academic spaces which support program objectives andthe highest level of education at our respective institutions.Ultimately, it is the authors’ intent to discuss this topic within the framework of a pilot studywhich may serve as a template for others to follow as they
between modules within courses. The positivism createdand perpetuated by this silo in engineering education ultimately positions rightness as a hidden,structural, exclusionary force rather than something constructed by the people in the room. Theauthors conclude that students are working at a boundary condition created over years ofseparation between the physical and social sciences and this itself is another barrier. Studentsstruggle with their engineering identity when centering public welfare or justifying nontechnicalwork after experiencing partial integration of social impacts in technical courses, and “[this] kindof negotiation [reflects] the tensions and unsettled boundaries between what students [consider]to be inside or outside the scope
students suggested modifications to the overall program structure,course topics, and instructional approaches. For example, students thought that courses in the CSprogram did not connect well with each other. Aligned with Bruner’s [48] Spiral CurriculumFramework, learning often starts with introducing a topic, mastering that topic, revisiting thattopic in a higher-level course, and finally making connections to other topics in the higher-levelcourses. As students responded that the latter part of the learning cycle (i.e., creating connectionsbetween courses) is missing in the CS pathway, one approach instructors can use is to not onlyrevisit concepts from prior courses, but also ask students to reflect on how this revisited conceptrelates to the
system the students use at the university for other courses. This page is the current“Hub” for the makerspace, where students can go to find resources, take training quizzes, andsign-up for workshops. 3.5 Feedback To gain more of an understanding on how to grow the team, feedback meetings are heldwith the entire instructor team to reflect and discuss the current direction of the workshops andtraining system. With our goal of creating a positive work environment for all the instructors, wehope to understand how we can make changes to the system to benefit those running theworkshops for those who attend them. When developing the new training system discussedearlier in Section 3.3, an internal survey provided more insight on the
that zero shear stress acts on the principal planes. Alternatively, the low scores onQuestion 2 could perhaps indicate confusion with the wording of Question 2, and/or reflect thelack of partial credit available on this question. Although the post-test scores on Question 2 werelower than anticipated, students’ scores did increase on all three questions from the pre-test to thepost-test; the mean pre-test score for all participants was 15% and the mean post-test score for allparticipants was 64%, as shown in Figure 4. Post-test scores for Questions 1 and 3, which weremore calculation-oriented, rose to 65–78%. These results show that the majority of students inthis study entered and exited the course with a poor understanding of some of the
Strategies for Industry Interactions by Other Educators In reflecting back, industry provided several enhancements and advantages to the overall courseexperience. That said, establishing an industry presence with active engagement requires careful pre-planning. The authors have grouped recommendations into three categories for consideration. While thestudy focus was PT, these strategies can work equally well for many design related courses:Finding Industry Members: Start with your alumni base then expand to those firms who hire your students for full time employment. University employees within the facilities or physical plant design departments of your school often have practical experience prior to joining your
in Student Accounts of Online Learning (Research Question 2)Students highlighted many reoccurring themes in their experience with online learning, includingadapting to the change in course delivery, feeling a knowledge gap, professor adaptability,reflecting on personal experiences, and recounting the impact of their experiences at home.Overall, participants noted quick adjustments in all of these areas but often linked themestogether, displaying the complexity of student adaptations and perceptions.5.2.1 Change in Content DeliveryAn overarching theme across the cohorts was the idea that synchronous lectures were moreengaging; but for one participant, their preferred method of content delivery would be dependentupon their interest in the

With testing through pilot grants andfurther community input, the EOP Framework has evolved from its early focus on“environmental responsibility” to reflect the broader lenses of social and environmentalsustainability, among other refinements based on over 600 comments that were collected andincorporated into the revised version released in 2022.The EOP Framework is a cornerstone of the EOP initiative, the first of its kind to guidecoursework, teaching tools, and student experiences that define what it means to be an engineerwho is equipped to protect our planet and the life it sustains (Figure 1 & Figure 2A) [20].Aligned with ABET’s seven required student outcomes, it provides faculty members with avetted menu of competencies that
is also happening when the instructor discussesteaching practice with their peers, reads about effective teaching practice in literature or writesabout what they tried out in their course. Instructors are a community of reflective practitioners.Their self-initiated instructional development activities should not be ignored in facultydevelopment research.Further about instructors’ self-initiated instructional development, our data based on oneCanadian engineering school showed the differences among faculty members in pursuinginstructional supports: teaching-stream faculty and sessional instructors appear to be more likelyto access instructional development resources than tenure-stream faculty members. This can beexplained by their primary
accommodation policiesAbstractUniversity accommodation policies and departmental practices often overlook engineeringgraduate students with disabilities. The failure of policies and programs to consider graduatestudents with disabilities is reflected by the dearth in the literature pertaining to them.Responding to this gap in knowledge, I conduct an exploratory qualitative study. I explore theexperiences of two engineering graduate students who identify as having invisible disabilities ordifferent abilities. Using a dialogic serial interview process, the participants and I co-develop arich-vivid phenomenology. I include a portion of the findings in this manuscript. Specifically, Ifocus on the participant’s experiences with accommodation policies and

In this capstone study, results show success when students applied thebasics notions of the BIM Execution Planning Guide [29] in setting up the team’s infrastructure.A reflective exercise of students first exploring the process generation then asking for faculty toreview the plans was more beneficial to their overall planning than providing immediate lecture-type instruction. Two key steps that all teams needed to develop and execute are listed below.Only file repository will be discussed in this paper as it is impacted by the team functionalitywhereas software workflows are primarily focused on technical usage of engineering software toget results from one platform to another.

Expanding educational opportunitiesby developing online delivery of wind energy graduate courses is one strategy to address muchneeded diversity in the field. Building upon the literature of previous successful consortiumdevelopment, a new replicable model for setting up a consortium was created, called the Rapidmodel, with the name reflecting the goal to implement a new consortium within one year.Researchers conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of the model, through observingprogram meetings, interviewing faculty, staff and administrators engaged in the consortiumdevelopment work, and examining course sharing outcomes.

Not only that, some studies on the women working in constructionshow that the majority of them work in secretarial or office positions than in the field [6], [13].Expanding further on issues of underrepresentation, in the study conducted by Fielden, et. al[13], it is reported that the construction industry has a poor image and the workers are consideredas ‘cowboys’ creating a macho stereotype. Sadly, the view of construction as a “man’s world” isstill reflected even in recent studies of women participation in construction [23]. Coupled withthat, women’s social image as being delicate and sensitive deters girls from considering pursuinga career in

Research hasshown that the careers of women and men diverge upon labor market entry and continue todiverge along the career [2]. Much of the divergence reflects the horizontal segregation ineducational choices, but also the career paths of women and men with the same educationalbackground differ in many respects. This vertical segregation has not been studiedextensively in Finland. Understanding the gender differences is necessary to design effectivemeasures to reduce the vertical segregation and promote equality in the engineeringprofession.Horizontal and vertical gender segregationAll over the world, women and
