Examining the Cultural Wealth of Underrepresented Minority Engineering Persisters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)One of the most significant challenges facing engineering education in the United States is the persistent problem of the inclusion and retention of certain racial and ethnic groups. Academic and institutional factors, ... -
Implementation of an Inverted Classroom in Structural Design Courses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The authors have used an inverted (flipped) classroom approach for the previous five years in upper level undergraduate courses in structural design (“Structural Steel and Reinforced Concrete”) at Villanova University. ... -
Understanding Female Students’ Choice of a Construction Management Undergraduate Degree Program: Case Study at an Australian University
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The considerably low female student enrollments in construction management (CM) undergraduate degree programs have continued to draw attention from academia. With a cohort of local and international female students in a ... -
Comparison of EC and ABET Accreditation Criteria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Washington Accord is one of seven mutual recognition agreements managed by the International Engineering Alliance. Its signatories recognize the substantial equivalency of programs accredited by the signatory bodies, ... -
Student Misconceptions of General Plane Motion in Rigid-Body Kinematics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a review on student misconceptions of general plane motion (GPM), one of the most difficult yet important concepts in engineering dynamics and a foundational course that civil and mechanical engineering ... -
Public Transportation Education: Inventory and Recommendations on Curricula
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Public transportation systems provide the opportunity for efficient and sustainable mobility. Twenty-first century technological innovation, as well as efforts to promote alternative modes such as bus, light rail, and heavy ... -
Ethical Demand and First-Year Civil Engineering Study: Applying Virtue Ethics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Incidents within the civil engineering profession (structural collapses, collusion, and the like) draw attention to the need for ethical conduct on the part of civil engineering practitioners. This paper explores ethical ... -
Journaling and Reflection as Education Tools for Engineering Study Abroad
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Study abroad for engineering students is increasingly valued for improving global competency within the practicing profession. Short-term, time-intensive study abroad, while fitting well with other demands on student time, ... -
Incorporating Woodwork Fabrication into the Integrated Teaching and Learning of Civil Engineering Students
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)As an alternative to the traditional structural analysis adopting computer-aided modeling and evaluation, this pedagogical research provides an integrated teaching and learning approach by mapping cognitive domains in a ... -
Heritage Preservation Training in Civil Engineering Education: Modern Roads Restoration Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The curricula of civil engineering schools in most countries exclude subjects related to heritage assessment and preservation of public works. In the very few that do include it, the teaching process continues to focus ... -
Introducing Engineering Judgment through Active Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The development and implementation of an active learning assignment to develop students’ engineering judgment or their ability to apply common sense and proportion to slope stability is outlined. The assignment was developed ... -
Pedagogy and Evaluation of an Envision Case Study Module Bridging Sustainable Engineering and Behavioral Science
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Designing for sustainability demands systems thinking and problem-based learning focused on the types of ill-structured problems found in the real world. The approach detailed in this paper uses the Envision Gold–certified ... -
Teaching User-Centered Design for More Sustainable Infrastructure through Role-Play and Experiential Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Civil infrastructure systems that fail to achieve intended goals drain financial resources and erode public willingness to invest in future upgrades and new systems. Starting the engineering design process with perspective ... -
Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Project Management Education: Practical Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents insights into the importance of practical experience in project management success and discusses how well university education prepares future project managers in terms of practical project learning ... -
Enriching the Learning Experience for Civil Engineering Students through Learner-Centered Teaching
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The role of professors has changed from being primarily responsible for delivering content to students to including deeper or more in-depth learning opportunities designed to help students develop into creative and critical ... -
Leadership in Action: Sharing Leadership in an Engineering Research Center
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This case study employed a shared leadership framework to examine leadership in an engineering research center (ERC) during its first year. The Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics (CBBG) was the site for ... -
