Bartholomew, Scott; Goodridge, Wade; Shaheen, Natalie – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2020
In 2002 the World Health Organization (WHO) analyzed available data on Blindness and Low Vision (BLV) from 55 countries and applied it to the 17 WHO epidemiological subregions. Results indicate approximately 37 million people are blind and 124 million have low vision (Foster & Resnikoff, 2005). Providing opportunities for these students to…

Maheshwari, Anil K.; Werd, Margaret Rose P. – Creativity Research Journal, 2019
This paper reports on the effect of architectural design of a workplace on the creativity of its users. A technical services company relocated from a conventional office building to one designed according to Maharishi Vastu (MVA), a natural system of architecture based on alignment with the energy fields of the sun and the earth. The company's…

Batalova, Jeanne; Fix, Michael – Migration Policy Institute, 2021
With rising job vacancies and a workforce and society that are aging, the United States already has a reservoir of human capital that is not fully tapped: The millions of U.S.-born and immigrant college graduates who are in jobs requiring no more than a high school credential or who are unemployed. This human capital, if well leveraged, could…

English, Lyn D.; King, Donna T. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2016
How do cross-bracing, geometry, and base isolation help buildings withstand earthquakes? These important structural design features involve fundamental geometry that elementary school students can readily model and understand. The problem activity, Designing an Earthquake-Resistant Building, was undertaken by several classes of sixth- grade…

Robertson, Bill – Science and Children, 2015
This column provides background science information for elementary teachers. When the author was young he used to think that the ideal design for a concert hall would contain walls that were composed of sound-absorbing material, like foam or egg cartons or such. He noticed, though, that this was not the case. Most concert halls contain curtains…

McCrum, Daniel Patrick – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
For a structural engineer, effective communication and interaction with architects cannot be underestimated as a key skill to success throughout their professional career. Structural engineers and architects have to share a common language and understanding of each other in order to achieve the most desirable architectural and structural designs.…

Maffioli, Cesare S. – Annals of Science, 2013
Exchanges of learning and controversies between engineers and mathematicians were important factors in the development of early modern science. This theme is discussed by focusing, first, on architectural and mathematical dynamism in mid 16th-century Milan. While some engineers-architects referred to Euclid and Vitruvius for improving their…

Jones, Brett D.; Setareh, Mehdi; Polys, Nicholas F.; Bacim, Felipe – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2014
Simulations can be powerful learning tools that allow students to explore and understand concepts in ways that are not possible in typical classroom settings. However, research is lacking as to how to use simulations most effectively in different types of learning environments. To address this need, we designed a study to examine the impact of…
