Meet LevelUP Fellow, Shenghua (Edward) Wu, Ph.D.! Dr. Wu's LevelUP project is entitled: “REAL WORLD ENGINEERING: Integrating Standards and Specifications Education across the Engineering Curriculum”.
This project aims to design and integrate standards and specifications education across the civil engineering curricula within the Department of Civil, Coastal, and Environmental Engineering. To achieve this, we will develop five standalone learning modules tailored for freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate levels. These modules are designed to seamlessly integrate into existing courses. For lower-level courses, our approach includes hands-on activities that establish meaningful connections with industry, inspiring and introducing students to the world of standards and specifications.
Additionally, team-based learning modules will be incorporated into the Civil Engineering Materials Lab course, enhancing student engagement and mastery of standards related to materials. As students progress to higher-level courses, they will actively participate in mock standards development activities. This hands-on experience is intended to further refine their skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for industry standards and specifications, thus bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world application.
Wow, congratulations to all the #UpSkillMiami Construction Trade 🌟 Here’s to a bright future for these new professionals in the electrical trade!
