Second, what are the primary skills that the construction companies are looking for?Third, do our students know how to express their opinions in a meeting, write a report, make apresentation, work in a team, and finally, know about ethics and compliance? IntroductionSimilar to engineering, construction management is about providing better, safer products andservices; being trusted, while following clients’ expectations and specifications andcontemplating the triple constraints (scope, time, and budget) [1]. This translates to completingthe project within the planned schedule and budget while keeping the stakeholders satisfied withthe final delivery. It is unique within
math clubs designed to encourage greater participation of women in math, scienceand engineering. The models have formed the basis of a course offered to practicing teachersand also have been presented at teacher workshops. Lesson plans have been designed fordifferent topics. Teacher feedback and assessment are considered an important aspect of thisdevelopment program. IntroductionThis paper describes a set of science and engineering models used by the authors in K-12classrooms. The models have been used as enrichment activities in regular classrooms and alsoas special projects in math clubs designed to encourage greater participation of women in math,science and engineering.The models have also formed the
the core engineering technical curriculum, rather than separate topics withoutcontext of analysis or the design process. An example used as guidance was an ASEE paperentitled “From Sacred Cow to Dairy Cow” [1]. Several classes in the college were alreadyimplementing concepts of DEI, RJ and SJ into the curriculum by a variety of methods, whetherindividual lesson plans, projects, or re-evaluating messaging and terminology used. The intent ofthe Dean’s RJ Curriculum Challenge (CC) was to formalize a program to empower and engagefaculty in modifying their own curriculum, to highlight those who took these initiatives, and topromote discussions among faculty. Our key marker of success is the level of facultyengagement.The ProgramThe program rollout
emphasizesadvising as a teaching and learning process.At our institution, undergraduate advising is mainly conducted by faculty advisors. Theseadvisors initially meet with matriculating advisees at new student orientation in the summer andthen once a semester thereafter to discuss courses and career planning. While advising isconsidered a component of teaching as a part of the promotion and tenure process at ourinstitution, historically the quality of advising as a student learning experience is not evaluated.Methods commonly used to assess teaching quality are not conducted regularly or at all foradvising. A thoughtfully crafted teaching philosophy is essential in a dossier, however there isno expectation that it include an advising philosophy. This is

The purpose was to examine the effects of word choice for reflection prompts on thetype and level of metacognition expressed in students’ written reflections. Data collection tookplace during a first-year engineering course at a large Midwest university in Springs 2017 and2018. An a priori coding scheme and qualitative coding analysis were used to identifymetacognitive strategies in students’ reflective responses. Results showed that reflection promptsfocused on using feedback to evaluate and improve performance encouraged the use of planning,action, and evaluating metacognitive strategies, and prompts that focus on using proficiency withthe learning objectives to reflect on what

We present a case study on transferability issues at a School of Engineering andComputer Science with focus on the Computer Science program. Introduction Starting the pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree at Community College is received increasing attention with plans to federally fund tuition for community college classes in the news. Transferability of community college credit is critical to the success of such plans [2,3]. The State of Texas recognized the importance of Community Colleges early on as evidenced by efforts like the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS [ 7

Sustainableinfrastructure systems are critical to reducing social, economic, and environmental impacts onthe built environment and FEP can complement building infrastructure systems sustainably byproviding effective planning, better scope definition, and improved decision-making. A post-activity survey allowed the 35 AEC students to evaluate the improvement of their sustainabilityknowledge as well as multiple professional skills including leadership, communication, criticalthinking ability, working in teams, and project management through the activity.

learningand professional practice, as described by several educational theories (Bishop-Clark & Dietz-Uhler, 2012; Kolb & Kolb, 2009; Schön, 1987). Kolb’sExperiential Learning Theory maintains that learning occurs when “doing” isaccompanied by “reflecting on one’s doing” (Kolb & Kolb, 2009). Further, whenstudents repeatedly reflect on their academic lives (i.e., learning, practices, andperformance), it can enhance their metacognition, which includes the self-regulatory skills of planning, monitoring, and evaluating their learning (Schraw,1998). Metacognition has been described as “thinking about one’s thinking” andpromotes lifelong learning abilities (Steiner & Foote, 2017). Unfortunately,Ambrose highlighted a lack of frequent, formal

Powered by www.slayte.com[WORK IN PROGRESS] Interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to integrating stream studies into campus curriculaAbstractProject based learning (PBL) is a type of experiential learning in which students are presented with acomplex problem(s) that could have multiple feasible solutions and are tasked with developing a plan orproduct that addresses that problem. A lot of emphasis has recently been put into integrating PBLexperiences into the undergraduate curriculum. Students are often presented with projects that aretailored to fit within the time constraints of a given course. However, when that project is a subset of alarger whole, then a comprehensive solution is rarely

Students’ Learning and Metacognitive StrategiesAbstractThis Complete Research Paper presents quantitative findings from an analysis of first-yearengineering students’ responses to weekly reflections on their learning objective performanceand plans and actions to improve their learning. Building capacity for metacognition is necessaryfor success in engineering studies and the profession. To prepare engineering students to beskilled professional engineers, it is important to understand how first-year students approachchallenges in their learning. Studies show that many first-year students, even high performingstudents, struggle to develop metacognitive strategies that will enhance their learning. The goalof this study was to

This webtool allows users to import a plan of study as a spreadsheet, visualize theprerequisite networks inherent in the course organization, and calculate the structural propertiesof the network that impact student persistence. As shown through experimentation [e.g., 2,8] andempirical work [e.g., 5], there is a negative correlation between curricular complexity andcompletion rates.Because of the new insights that quantifying a curricular structure could bring, authors havebegun using the curricular complexity framework to assign values to the accessibility ofcurricula [e.g., 9,10,11
