jobmentoring programs (54%) versus Cohort 2 participants (24%). Job mentoring has the effect ofestablishing an employee into the company culture and helps when it comes to advance in theirjobs.To determine the effects of the Never Stop Learning module, we asked participants whichcomponents of the module they had achieved since graduation. Six months is fairly early toevaluate the total effects of continuous learning on a person, but there were some distinctivedifferences between the cohorts when it came to the components and the proportion of thecohorts that obtained a certificate and completed online courses. For these components, Cohort1’s participation was 73% & 27%, respectively compared with Cohort 2 that was 29% & 19%,respectively. When

I found the various functions in this system were well integrated. I thought there was too much inconsistency in this system. I would imagine that most people would learn to use this system very quickly. I found the system very cumbersome to use. I felt very confident using the system. I needed to learn a lot of things before I could get going with the system. Please add suggestion(s) to the box below about the game design and game elements.

the reduced cognitive load of the new schedule. Thisalso enables more focused lab sessions for programming exercises. The potential drawback isthat students will not see the application of the programming concepts until the fifth week or so.We have attempted to address this issue by making lab exercises more applied, for example byanalyzing sample electrocardiogram data with MATLAB. More concentrated MATLABinstruction may also help reading assignments, as discussed in section 4.

Considering this was a point of emphasis in the review packet andrelated to this experiment, it seemed a fair question on the final exam to gauge if the students hadmore comprehension of why certain terms in the balance were removed.The question was: “Recall the experiment you all did on the last day of class.

: Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical/Lighting, and Structures, as well as investigate the possibility of future track options. The timeline for the electrical/lighting track option was deferred to 2019. The program should be built around tenured/tenure track faculty, with Professors of Practice used to meet the needs for relevant faculty design experience. The program should begin offering graduate degree(s) within 2-3 years after starting.As a result, the following next steps were approved for the program’s implementation: Create a formal Industry Advisory Panel (IAP) with a sub-group in each of the three track option areas: Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical/Lighting, and Structures.

advanced BIM applications.Five course objectives were developed to match the CM curriculum needs in BIM contents andalign with the six levels of cognitive learning process in Bloom’s Taxonomy. In each coursemodule, specific course topics were introduced and associated with a course objective. Courseassessment methods and criteria were detailed for each course objective, and course evaluationplan was briefly explained for future research. This paper will serve as a case study of anadvanced level BIM course in CM programs.References1. Zolfagharian, S., Gheisari, M., Irizarry, J., and Meadati, P. (2013).

stopping distance of 301 m within13.8 s. The best of 10 trials for the brake have shown a stopping distance of 212 m within 10.3 s. Thisshows approximately a 30% reduction in the stopping distance. The standard does not require the brake tohappen within any specified timeframe, but the time was collected to help understand how the brake isperforming along with the ability to calculate the acceleration of the brake for Figure 15. When braking,the deceleration is on average 19% greater than without braking [5]. 120 Velocity vs Distance 0.00

carefully selected problem(s)might be an effective way to demonstrate such enhancements. The main goal here is to establish assessment practices which impact the overall program,and the students. The second goal would then be identification of most positive or valuableexperiences, if any, during students’ Thermodynamics I and Thermodynamics II semesters.Looking at previous Thermodynamics I experiences, could help stimulate enhancement in futureThermodynamics I sections. Observing present Thermodynamics II activities, might lead toidentification of activities, if any, which can help improve any of students’ knowledge gaps andassociated performance, whether they love thermo-fluids, are typically great students, or are onthe opposite ends of

Additionally, early planning and careful estimation of high-risk tasksrequiring unfamiliar technologies may lead to a reduction in the scope of work for a project sothat it can be fully completed and debugged prior to delivery.
