DESIGN OF A CONSISTENT INTERDISCIPLINARY AND DUAL FACULTY CAPSTONE EXPERIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
Authors: DeGagne W.C.D. , Labossiere Paul E. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract - One of the most effective and efficient ways for an engineering program to facilitate compliance with the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) accreditation criteria is through capstone design projects and courses, [1]. Currently, the University of Manitoba Faculty of Engineering has several capstone design courses; however, each is independently focused on its own respective discipline. The resulting educational experience for students, though rigorous and challenging, is maintained within the boundaries of the students’ engineering discipline, thereby neglecting to provide the opportunity for students to work with people from multiple disciplines and across different faculties. This style/mode of education, where students work in silos, arguably does not reflect real world engineering. Program representatives from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba agree that the capstones should be more reflective of real life situations.
For this paper, we were hoping to present the research results of a pilot interdisciplinary capstone that was to be launch in the winter of 2017. Unfortunately, the pilot course was not offered because of low student enrollment. So we decided to take an innovative and creative approach to the research. Since, at the University of Manitoba, the Dean of Engineering is also the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, rather than team with an outside industry focus group, we decided to develop a holistic course with the Faculty of Architecture. The Dean supports this strategy. Interdisciplinary courses are most important because they "…articulate the difference between educational problems and workplace problems" [2]. And allow "(students) persons from different disciplines to work collaboratively and are integrated to combine their knowledge to solve a problem"[3].
This paper explores and explains how that Engineering/Architecture Multidiscipline Capstone and Dual Faculty course will be developed, touches on the early stages of its initiation and implementation, and outlines how the success of the new course will be evaluated.

Published: August 2018

Abstract - This paper describes a novel approach used in a first year engineering at UBC to teach computer-aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping as part of a real-world design project. It is centred on the design of an assistive technology device for a real client who is a quadriplegic and has limited use of his hands. Notably, students were able to create their designs in CAD without receiving any formal instruction on the use of the tool. In addition to CAD and rapid prototyping,the project integrated elements of stakeholder engagement, design, decision-making, and communication. By the end of the three-week module, students submitted a technical memorandum recommending their design, and they were able to submit their CAD files for 3D printing and for entry into an inaugural assistive technology design competition.
A TALE OF TWO PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVES: A LITERATURE REVIEW OF WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION WITHIN ENGINEERING PROGRAMS
Authors: Patterson Laura M. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract –While communication and writing programs are typically housed in humanities-focused departments, engineering programs often employ full-time writing specialists to teach their students effective communication in engineering-specific contexts. However, bringing together humanities-focused writing instruction within a science-focused engineering program has some inherent complications in administering a program within a program.
The challenge of these writing programs is the misunderstanding that can arise between communication faculty and engineering faculty and administration. The opportunities and challenges embedded within communication and writing pedagogy is not always understood by the engineering-educated administrators, nor sold particularly well by the communication faculty. These challenges are made evident when we see that the modern conversation around engineering communication has morphed from convincing a composition audience to broaden their conception of writing for the unique writing needs of their engineering students, to a post-outcomes based world where engineering identity and culture are the center of curricular discussions aimed at fellow engineering educators.
While the complete history of writing program administration in engineering education is much longer, this literature review explores key works in the last 25 years to demonstrate themes in current curricular programming challenges in administering writing and communication programs within engineering departments in Canada and the United States.
DESCRIBING AND MEASURING THE ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE BASED USING CONCEPT DOMAINS
Authors: Grove Jason , Ioannidis Marios , Wright Derek 
Published: August 2018

Abstract – We describe the chemical engineering knowledge base in terms of five distinct concept domains: i) mathematics and computation, ii) conservation, iii) equilibrium and spontaneity, iv) rates, and v) the structure and property of materials. These concept domains underpin the curriculum and evolve from disparate subject domains presented in the first year into a cohesive whole by graduation. The knowledge base for chemical engineering can thus be expressed in terms of achieving threshold concepts related to each of these domains.
This formulation of the knowledge base suggests that it may be examined using concept inventory testing. We provide examples of how such testing can be implemented in order to produce meaningful data on students’ level of concept attainment. We believe that this approach may be of interest to others as a robust and sustainable method for the ongoing assessment of CEAB Graduate Attribute 1.
The Elephant and the Mouse: making a large department feel small and a small department feel large
Authors: Trivett Andrew 
Published: August 2018

Engineering Education in Canada is carried out at 44 currently accredited university programs. Collectively, the system graduates more than 12,000 new engineers each year. One quarter of those students study at a large schools having more than 1000 students in each yearly cohort. Many more study in medium-sized classes having more than 300 students each year. There also campuses where an engineering class is fewer than 30 students. How does the student experience differ from the opposite ends of this size spectrum?

Published: August 2018

Abstract – Motivated by a perceived deficiency in teamwork skills of graduating engineering students, a series of six teamwork training modules are being designed for each of the students’ first six academic terms. A careful pilot-revise-implement design cycle has resulted in the development of a number of variations of each module, catering to different disciplines’ needs for integration with the curriculum.
The project is at its midpoint, having designed, delivered, and revised the first three modules: an introduction to teamwork, communication in teams, and team conflict. The fourth module - giving and receiving feedback in teams - was piloted in early 2017. The last two remaining modules are envisioned to cover teamwork topics at a more advanced level.
So far, all modules have been delivered in host courses with instructors receptive to the need for teamwork training. It is observed that the modules’ success and long term sustainability depend on their ability to easily integrate with or wrap around existing course activities.
WHERE LANGUAGE AND ENGINEERING MEET: FOSTERING EMERGING ENGINEERING IDENTITIES AMONG INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
Authors: Cook Keely , Jacob Raveet 
Published: August 2018

Abstract –This paper explores the impact of incorporating discipline-specific content into a university pathways program designed for first-year engineering English language learners. In an effort to increase feelings of connectedness and encourage the development of student identity for students who must complete the bridging program before beginning full-degree studies, a collaboration with First-Year Engineering, FIRST Lego League and the Engineering IDEAS Clinics began whereby students worked with instructors, professors, and students from the Engineering Faculty as part of their language courses. Student motivation and sense of faculty connection increased through the integration of these discipline-specific assessments and activities, and, overall the students reflected positively on these experiences.

Published: August 2018

Abstract –The paper presents student perceptions about learning objectives of laboratories. Three focus group sessions were conducted with chemical engineering undergraduate students at UofT as part of a larger project to enhance the learning outcomes of laboratories.
In this study, thirteen laboratory learning objectives developed at the ABET colloquy in 2002, were used as a framework to determine the strengths and limitations of the laboratories. These learning objectives cover cognition, psychomotor and affective domains of knowledge.
The results indicate that improvements are needed with respect to providing opportunities for students to be creative, devise their own procedures, repeat experiments and improve communication skills. In addition, ethics in the lab and safety need more emphasis.
Critical reflections on staff-student partnership and ‘re-interpreting’ journal submissions
Authors: Cork Lorna Mary 
Published: August 2018

This thoughtpiece shares some personal reflections on a distinctively different approach to student-staff collaboration, whereby students ‘re-interpret’ scholarly submissions to this new HE journal for a wider audience. Student and staff motivations for becoming involved in this work of partnering are examined, and values and ‘intrigue’ are uncovered as contributing to partnership-readiness and sustaining interest. Students engaged critically with Higher Education policy and theory; particularly the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and the concept of a ladder of partnership. The collaboration offers different conceptual lenses, revealing possibilities for the co-creation of a student-staff scholarly community. Student reflections reveal digital literacies for producing re-interpretations and the ‘softer’ skills for collaborating in diverse groups. However, the key appeal of getting involved is not, as may be assumed, for benefits such as employability, it is the opportunity of collaborating across disciplines and as an equal partner with staff, where their voices contribute to real debates about teaching and learning in HE.

Beton adalah material komposit (gabungan) dari partikel-partikel agregat yang saling mengikat menjadi suatu badan atau bagian yang solid dengan ikatan dari material semen. Beton juga dikenal dengan material dengan kekuatan tekan yang memadai, mudah dibentuk, mudah diproduksi secara local, relative kaku, dan ekonomis. Namun di sisi lain, beton juga menunjukan banyak keterbataan baik dalam proses produksi maupun sifat-sifat mekaniknya, sehingga beton pada umumnya hanya digunakan untuk konstruksi dengan ukuran kecil dan menengah.Abu sekam padi dihasilkan dari pembakaran sekam padi. Belakangan ini banyak peneliti yang memanfaatkan abu sekam padi dalam suatu bahan seperti pembuatan keramik, pembuatan batu bata, dan lain-lain.Penggunaan tulang hewan dalam penelitian kami adalah sebagai penambahan agregat kasar dalam pembuatan beton. Hal ini dikarenakan jumlah limbah tulang hewan di Indonesia yang sangat banyak dan belum termanfaatkan secara menyeluruh, Dengan beton mutu tinggi dimensi dari struktur dapat diperkecil sehingga berat struktur menjadi ringan. Hal tersebut menyebabkan beban yang diterima pondasi secara keseluruhan menjadi lebih kecil pula. Jika ditinjau dari segi ekonomi hal tersebut tentu akan lebih menguntungkan. Beton mutu tinggi dapat diartikan sebagai beton yang berorientasi pada kekuatan yang tinggi (high strength concrete) yang mempertimbangkan keawetan (durability) beton serta kemudahan pengerjaan beton (work-ability).

A field experiment entitled “growth, phenology and yield of drought tolerant rainfed rice cultivars to staggered transplanting dates under changing climatic scenarios of central terai, Nepal” was conducted at farmer’s field in Dhobadi VDC, Nawalparasi (27°40'N, 84°05'E and 235 masl) during June to November, 2012. The experimental soil was determined silt loam with slightly acidic reaction (pH-5.67). About 1960.40 mm of total rainfall was recorded at the experimental site during crop growing period which was 17.56% lower than average of the past 15 years (2378 mm). The experiment consisted sixteen treatment combinations arranged in split-plot design i.e. four transplanting dates in main-plot and four cultivars in sub-plot with three replications. The statistical result on grain yield revealed significant differences among dates of transplanting, however, varietal differences were found to be non-significant. The maximum (2.46 t ha-1) and minimum (0.30 t ha-1) grain yield were recorded for first transplanting date (July 15) and last transplanting date (August 14), respectively. Grain yield, number of grains panicle-1, filled grains panicle-1 and test weight recorded under July 15, July 25 and August 4 transplanted condition were statistically at par but was significantly superior over August 14 transplanting. The reduction in grain yield due to successive delay of 10 days from July 15 upto August 4 was to the extent of 12.6 and 28.6 percent, respectively. GDD received by rice cultivars was found significantly higher (2830 °C) for July 15 transplanted rice at maturity stage, whereas, August 14 transplanted rice received significantly lower GDD (2689 °C) for maintaining maturity stage. Cultivar Sukkha Dhan-2 was found relatively more stable in using heat for all transplanting dates (86.31%) followed by Sukkha Dhan-3 (86.66 %), Sukkha Dhan-1 (88.31%) and Radha-4 (88.37 %).

Munculnya kelompok yang dianggap sempalan akan berpontesi melahirkan konflik, mereka hadir membawa paham dan praktik keagamaan yang berbeda dengan yang dianut kebanyakan umat di Indonesia dan secara kuantitas jumlah mereka sangat sedikit. Disisi lain, kehadiran kelompok atau paham yang berbeda ini akan membawa pada sikap destruktif. Penelitian mendeskripsikan tentang keberadaan kelompok Majelis Ilmi Al-Amin, yang oleh pembimbingnya mengkalim telah menerima ilham, hidayah bahkan menyebutnya “wahyu”, mengenai ilmu kegaiban melalui proses dialog. Proses penelusuran data dengan menggunkana teknik wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok Majelis Ilmi Al-Amin telah eksis sejak 2007 hingga kini walaupun telah mengalami pelemparan dan pengusiran oleh masyarakat hingga akhirnya kelompok ini berpindah tempat untuk melakukan aktifitas. Kelompok ini oleh masyarakat dan pemerintah menklaim sebagai kelompok yang memiliki ajaran yang menyimpang utamanya dalam hal pelaksanaan syari’ah, bahkan bagi para jama’ah tidak lagi melaksanakan shalat sebagaimana lazimnya karena kelompok ini tidak mau dikatakan “riya” jika mereka melaksanakan shalat khususnya berjama’ah di masjid, sehingga shalat itu dilakukan secara bhatin saja, pada pelaksanaan puasa mereka telah berada pada tingkatan <em>al-khawaisul khawas</em>, dan haji tidak perlu ke tanah suci.
KEBINEKAAN YANG MENGESANKAN ; WAWASAN KEBERBAGAIAN GURU AGAMA DAN SISWA DI SMPN 1 TOMONI TIMUR

Published: August 2018

<em>Penelitian ini dilatari oleh suatu asumsi bahwa guru agama dan siswa saat ini banyak terjangkiti penyakit intoleransi. Asumsi ini berdasarkan pada penelitian yang telah dilakukan oleh beberapa lembaga sebelumnya, seperti PPIM UIN Jakarta (2016) yang menunjukkan intoleransi meningkat di kalangan guru agama. Padahal sejatinya pendidikan agama bertujuan untuk menguatkan wawasan kebinekaan guru agama dan para siswa. Karena itulah tulisan yang merupakan hasil penelitian ini berupaya menggambarkan wawasan kebinekaan guru agama dan siswa dengan melihat kasus pada SMPN 1 Tomoni Timur, Mangkutana, Luwu Timur. Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan Guru Agama, siswa serta mengamati langsung proses pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sekolah yang terdiri dari siswa dan guru yang beragam agama dan etnis ini, mampu menerapkan toleransi dengan cukup baik. Guru agama dan siswa yang selama ini dipersepsi intoleran, tidak terjadi di sekolah ini. Sebaliknya wawasan kebinekaan, baik guru agama maupun siswa terlihat sangat baik. Hal itu tercermin tidak hanya pada pengetahuan dan pemahaman tentang kebinekaan, tapi juga dalam penerapan sehari-hari dalam relasinya dengan guru atau pun siswa yang berbeda agama dan etnis</em>
