Implementing experiments, which could be easily conducted from home, or at least away from the standard lab environment, but were challenging in nature, proved difficult. In particular, the labs needed to be amenable to theoretical treatment and significant uncertainty analysis. In addition, the topics studied had to cover the usual range of material: fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, separations and chemical reactions. The lab has now been taught twice during May-term in a completely online format, with mixed results. Many of the usual class features can be incorporated easily, such as student presentations in Zoom, or the number and types of reports, or lecture coverage through Canvas and Kaltura. However, while student satisfaction, as measured by their evaluations, is generally good, some concern about a lack of rigor has been expressed. Moreover, while flexibility is excellent and allows students to work outside school, communication in the online format is not as good as in a laboratory setting on campus. Some potential improvements include using Arduinos in a heat exchanger experiment, using more synchronous contact to improve communication, and implementing a chemical reaction lab with glowsticks or other materials.","PeriodicalId":280607,"journal":{"name":"2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Proceedings","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116874930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants at this Civil Engineering Education Summit considered visions of the future, examined current efforts by the profession and across universities to advance education in the context of those visions, and identified opportunities to transform the civil engineering educational experience to prepare students for the future. The theme for the Summit was “Empowered to Innovate,” emphasizing the goal to provide the civil engineering profession with ideas, examples and encouragement to undertake the curricular innovation and other changes needed to meet the needs of our rapidly evolving profession, and highlighting the importance of building a culture of innovation within the civil engineering field. This paper provides a summary of the findings of the Summit and the initial efforts designed to ensure those findings help form the basis for subsequent actions to be undertaken by the profession and civil engineering academia.","PeriodicalId":280607,"journal":{"name":"2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Proceedings","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130975548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 2003, there are over 30,000 female specialists working in construction industry accounting for approximately 13% of the total workforce, however, there have been limited studies on women’s career development in New Zealand construction industry. Questionnaire survey was conducted with Asian women practitioners in New Zealand construction industry. The quantitative data collected from questionnaire will be ranked with Likert scale to evaluate the relative importance of challenges and critical success factors for improving women’s career success in New Zealand construction industry. This study aims to fill the research gap by investigating the challenges and success factors for Asian women in construction industry in New Zealand. Findings are useful for universities and polytechnics when developing or reviewing their curriculum of their construction-related programmes and for four-parties partnership – tertiary institutes, government, companies and professional institutes to put into action the strategies to support women’s career development in the future.","PeriodicalId":280607,"journal":{"name":"2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Proceedings","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113980117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand molecular diffusion, a fundamental knowledge of Fick’s law of diffusion is crucial. In the Spring 2021 semester, I participated in the Special Problem Course offered by Dr. Souto, in which we developed a new undergraduate laboratory experience. This experience consisted of a hands-on experimental work and data analysis to study the diffusion of salt in an aqueous media. This new experiment will be incorporated in the Chemical Engineering Senior Laboratory in the Fall 2021 semester, where currently, there are no experiments for students to study molecular diffusion. This project was funded by the 2020 AIChE Separations Division Education and Outreach award. The work consisted of preparing a concentrated sodium chloride solution, arming the equipment set-up, collecting and analyzing the data. Additionally, we prepared the experimental handout and a video demonstration. This video demonstration could also be useful in other chemical engineering courses. Also, during summer 2021, we expanded this project to study the repeatability of the experiment. We performed multiple experimental runs at different concentrations of sodium chloride (1 M and 2 M).
