Seo, Hoyoung; Yi, Minju – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
This article introduces eight instructional modules designed to create aha moments for students and help them gain clear insights on how geotechnical engineering principles are applied in the real world. Each module consists of (1) an interactive class demonstration using a physical model, (2) a whiteboard-style animation that provides the…

Ghosh, Somik; Bigelow, Ben; Johnston, Jonathan – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
Ranking systems are readily available and offer a simplistic way to differentiate among universities. However, end-users are not informed about the criteria and methods used to develop the ranking systems. Whereas ranking systems are used by prospective students, their lack of reliability and transparency outweigh their benefits. There are a few…

Zheng, Junwei; Wu, Guangdong; Li, Hongyang – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2020
Creativity is an important characteristic for civil engineering professionals and students when facing innovation challenges associated with construction engineering projects. Previous studies have not examined the temporary group context when conducting research on creativity. Drawing on the social cognitive theory and the actor-partner…

F. Lozano-Galant; R. Porras; B. Mobaraki; F. Calderón; J. Gonzalez-Arteaga; J. A. Lozano-Galant – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Traditionally, civil engineering infrastructures have been represented through two-dimensional (2D) drawings, which can lead to interpretation errors and jeopardize engineers' understanding of complex projects. However, with the development of building information modeling (BIM) methodology, civil engineering projects can now be virtually modeled…
