A State of Practice of Safety and Big Data in Transportation Engineering Curricula and in Transportation Design : How is it Used and How can Academic Offerings Better Represent Industry Practices?

Creator:: Castro, Edgar D.
Abstract:: Improving safety education could contribute to the preparation of better professional engineers. Safety topics are not holistically embedded in transportation course curricula. This thesis explores the current state in which safety is being incorporated in transportation course curricula in terms of design and compares the uses of safety data in...

Problem Solving Personas of Civil Engineering Practitioners using Eye Tracking Techniques

Creator:: Gestson, Sean L.
Abstract:: Engineering practitioners solve problems in various ways; it is plausible that they often rely on graphs, figures, formulas and other representations to reach a solution. How and why engineering practitioners use representations to solve problems can characterize certain problem-solving behaviors, which can be used to determine particular types of problem...

Understanding Instructors Curriculum Planning Process for the Refinement and Dissemination of a Digital Platform to Share Transportation Education Materials

Creator:: Peters, Allie
Abstract:: Background The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded multiple research projects dedicated to the development of research and evidence based instructional strategies in an effort to improve the state of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the US. These efforts have led to an abundance of research based...

Knowing Concepts in the Social and Material Context of Engineering Practice

Creator:: Bornasal, Floraliza
Abstract:: It is expected that information taught in the context of school will ultimately transfer to workplace settings. To support this transition, educators and researchers advocate for organizing foundational ideas, or concepts, in specific domains of knowing. In the domain of transportation engineering, knowing of concepts, which include "big ideas" such...

Investigating the Current Teaching Evaluation Practices used in Engineering Programs and their Usefulness to Educators

Creator:: Villanueva, Keisha A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of teaching is used to examine and improve teaching quality in higher education. The literature consists of best teaching evaluation practices that have been developed, yet there is little research that has been conducted which investigates teaching evaluation practices in engineering programs. This thesis represents two manuscripts that explore...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

Civil engineering students' and practicing civil engineers' understanding of engineering concepts

Creator:: Urlacher, Mark A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to explore civil engineering students’ and professional civil engineers' understanding of concepts within statics and fluid mechanics. The studies described herein begin to examine theories of situated cognition utilizing concept inventories, which are sets of multiple-choice questions where the incorrect answers are based on...

Understanding the Similarities and Differences Between Academia and the Engineering Workplace through Barriers to Adoption, Epistemic Beliefs, and Problem-Solving Behavior

Creator:: Gestson, Sean Lyle
Abstract:: Engineering education research has led to a greater understanding of the gap in preparedness of students for the engineering industry. Multiple studies comparing the workplace and academic contexts and the participants in those contexts (i.e., students, faculty, and engineering practitioners) have emphasized similarities and differences between the two contexts by...

Exploring Civil Engineering Undergraduate and Practitioners’ Performance on Strength of Materials Concept Inventory

Creator:: Sanchez, Dominga
Abstract:: Preparing successful engineering undergraduate students for the workforce is imperative and requires students to apply their conceptual understanding of engineering fundamentals to engineering design work. Conceptual understanding is assessed through the use of concept inventories. Learning theories may help explain differences in concept inventory performance. Expert novice theory suggests that...
