Using Cell Phones as Audience Response System Transmitters in Civil Engineering Classes
Paul Richards
Most university students and faculty have cell phones. A Harris Poll in 2008 found that more than 90% of adults in the United States have cell phones.1 Ownership rates are higher among university students, approaching 100% on some campuses. All these phones result in potential distractions in the university classroom. Campbell and Russo reported that students frequently complain about the distraction from ringing during class time and that university classrooms are perceived to be one of the least acceptable places for mobile phone use.2 Another survey by Campbell found that most university students and faculty would support university policy against mobile phone use during class time.3 |

Cultural Intelligence: Engineering Success for a Flat World
Richard Gash, Stephen Ressler, & Eric Crispino
The civil engineers we educate today will enter a truly global work force. Globalization, resultant from a proliferation of information technology, has increased the likely hood that civil engineers will find themselves working in cross-cultural situations. Success in such environments will require, in addition to classical engineer skills, the ability to work effectively in groups with different and often divergent values, norms, and behaviors. Organizational psychologists have recently defined this ability as "cultural intelligence". As engineering educators, it is important that we understand this emerging idea so we can best prepare our students for the challenges they will face. This paper offers a review of the pertinent literature on the subject of cultural intelligence and offers a discussion of how it pertains to our Body of Knowledge. |
