‘Simulation of Civil Engineering’ is a ‘3+1’ special courses for the department of civil engineering, The students have difficulty in this study because of many related courses and lacking of time. The CDIO-based engineering education model uses the innovation practice base of construction as a platform, through the study of specific actual project and the organization of students’ teams in-depth study in their spare time. On the one hand, this project can string related courses together and sum up knowledge, on the other hand, this project can integrate teacher research projects, student research scheme, the course of simulation of civil engineering and graduation papers (design), to achieve the effect of multiple purposes.

Chaplains in penal times were on occasion employed as stewards, though perhaps not as frequently as is sometimes supposed; from the point of view of their employers this is not entirely surprising; on the one hand chaplains might reasonably be expected to be literate, numerate and honest; on the other hand the restrictions under which Catholic priests worked might well leave them a sufficiency of spare time for secular affairs. The interest of the letter which follows lies not in the mere fact of such a stewardship, but in the extraordinarily vivid picture it gives of what it was like for a professed Religious to be involved in running an estate—particularly when his employer was of questionable sanity. Some light is incidentally thrown on the history of Catholicism in Linton-on-Ouse.

Two components of the attitude towards mathematics were examined on the groups of psychology and ethnology freshmen using the Attitude to Mathematics Questionnaire by L. Aiken: Enjoyments in mathematics and Value of Mathematics. The means of the psychology students on the two components of the attitude towards mathematics were almost in the middle between those of the civil engineering students on the one side, and those of the ethnology students on the other side. However, considering the markedly asymmetric result distributions on specific components of the attitude towards mathematics, with a view of more real positioning of the psychology students compared with the remaining two groups according to their relation to mathematics, all the subjects were clustered pursuant to their answers to the respective Questionnaire items. The cluster analysis results lead to the conclusion that in their attitude towards mathematics most of the psychology freshmen are closer to the students of those faculties who use mathematics as basic ''tools'' than to the students freshly enrolled in other fields traditionally not employing mathematical ''tools'' in their work. Likewise, a positive attitude towards mathematics prevails in the psychology freshmen.

Due to the multi-purpose and multi-collaboration nature of BIM technology, it makes the application of BIM not only the presentation of the structural model, but also the related construction progress and the embodiment of the construction process. It is this multi-functional use that makes BIM technology popular in the industry. 3D printing technology, on the other hand, when used in the field of engineering and construction, mainly prints out parts or all of the structure, and also ensures accuracy and speed. Linking the two will make the future of the related industry in a sudden development. Based on this, this paper will conduct an in-depth study on the application of 3D printing and BIM technology in the direction of bridges, aiming to promote the integration of the civil engineering field with the intelligent manufacturing scene and lay a solid foundation for the construction of modern society.

This research is based on the problems in society related to the rights and roles of women who are neglected, because the indications of Hadith misogynically interpreted by classical commentators, on the one hand upholds the dignity of women, but on the other hand castrates women's rights by limiting the women's role in marriage life and closing their steps to contribute in the environment. The purposes of this study are; (1) to know the extent to which the students' understanding of the Hadiths studied in  uqudul lujayn book; (2) to dig into the understanding built in the study of the lqliya texts related to the misogynical Hadith; (3) to imply the understanding to everyday life. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by presenting data through verbal and then changed into description form, not numbers. The results showed that; (1) the santri who studied lqya lujayn book initially did not understand the existence of the misogynous Hadith and only understood the book and the teacher's information, after in-depth study, the students sought to re-understand by combining; (2) in the classical and hermeneutic method of interpretation  can be understood that there is no misogynist Hadith, but Hadits misogynically interpreted; (3) the understanding is implied on the activities of santriwati an-Nur in everyday life.

Life Problems

From the onset of formal engineering education, engineering curricula have been based largely on science and mathematical knowledge. Applied subject based learning is a common teaching model in engineering education programs today. The professor passes information to the students, the newly acquired knowledge is applied to specific problems and communication between students and professor (and between students themselves) is limited. Furthermore, the engineering curriculum may neglect the critical skills that are necessary for a graduate student to be successful in the workplace, namely the reasoning and strategies that experts employ when they acquire knowledge or put it to work to solve complex real-life tasks (Collins et al., 1991). The purpose of this study is to design an optimal learning environment that meets the requirements of particular learning styles. We investigate a novel approach to teaching civil engineering, referred to as cognitive apprenticeship (Collins et al., 1991; Collins, 2006). The cognitive apprenticeship embeds learning in activities and makes deliberate use of the social and physical context. It tries to acculturate students into authentic practices through activity and social interactions in a way similar to that evident in craft apprenticeships. Collins et al. (1991) have developed a conceptual framework to design learning environments according to four principles regarding content, method, sequence and sociology. Traditional teaching practices do not sufficiently emphasize the reasoning and strategies that experts use to acquire knowledge and apply it to solve real-life problems (Collins et al., 1991), nor do they address students’ individual differences with regard to learning style preferences (Lowery, 2009). Therefore, the cognitive apprenticeship approach was implemented and evaluated to teach civil engineering and compared with a traditional teaching approach.Two experiments were conducted in order to compare the traditional and cognitive apprenticeship approach. The first was done with one group of students attending two different courses taught by the same professor. The first course was taught according to a traditional approach and the other, by a cognitive apprenticeship approach. The second experiment was conducted with a different group of students within the same course where one section of the course was taught according to a traditional approach and the other with a cognitive apprenticeship approach.

Between 1998 and 2011, we coordinated three consecutive research projects in three different provinces of Northern Vietnam. The projects aimed at improving the living conditions of various ethnic minorities in these areas. We focused on poverty alleviation, water management, and nature conservation. In all cases, there was a close collaboration between Vietnamese and Belgian researchers. The participation of the local population was an important ambition in the research. In this paper, we describe the three projects and analyze the relationships among the Belgian and Vietnamese researchers on the one hand, and between the researchers, the authorities, and the local population on the other hand. Furthermore, we examine the opportunities and obstacles to interdisciplinary and intercultural cooperation, with the help of critical theories on participation and decolonization. The three consecutive research projects can be considered as intensive learning processes for the researchers, the local communities, and the authorities. The paper begins with a fragment from the log of one of the participating researchers.

В сложный период пандемии коронавируса и экономического кризиса особенно остро встает вопрос занятости специалистов и перспектив трудоустройства выпускников вузов. С одной стороны, мир уже давно перешел на технологические рельсы, где одну из главных ролей играет инженер, с другой стороны, неясно, будут ли востребованы на постпандемийном рынке труда как молодые, так и опытные инженеры. Кто такой современный инженер и что от него ждут российские работодатели? Более 20 ведущих экспертов технологических компаний и инженерных вузов собрались вместе, чтобы ответить на этот и многие другие вопросы в рамках первой российской онлайн-конференции по инженерному образованию CEE 2020, организованной АНО "еНано" и Фондом инфраструктурных и образовательных программ Группы РОСНАНО. In the difficult period of the coronavirus pandemic and the economic crisis, the question of the employment of specialists and the prospects for employment of university graduates is especially acute. On the one hand, the world has long passed over to technological rails, where an engineer plays one of the main roles, on the other hand, it is unclear whether both young and experienced engineers will be in demand in the post-pandemic labor market. Who is a modern engineer and what do Russian employers expect from him? More than 20 leading experts from technology companies and engineering universities came together to answer this and many other questions at the first Russian online conference on engineering education CEE 2020, organized by ANO eNano and the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs of the RUSNANO Group.

We carry out an in-depth study of some domination and smoothing properties of linear operators and of their role within the theory of eventually positive operator semigroups. On the one hand, we prove that, on many important function spaces, they imply compactness properties. On the other hand, we show that these conditions can be omitted in a number of Perron–Frobenius type spectral theorems. We furthermore prove a Kreĭn–Rutman type theorem on the existence of positive eigenvectors and eigenfunctionals under certain eventual positivity conditions.

Resumen El isótopo del radón Rn-222, aparece en la naturaleza como producto de la desintegración natural del radio-226, común en la corteza terrestre. El potencial de exhalación de un terreno viene definido, por un lado, por el contenido de radio del sustrato (por ejemplo, los graníticos), y por otro, por la permeabilidad del mismo que permite la movilidad a través de los poros (fracturados). El radón, como elemento gaseoso, posee una alta movilidad y puede penetrar en los edificios a través de fisuras o grietas por advección o por difusión a través de la propia permeabilidad de los materiales de la envolvente que estén en contacto con el terreno. La acumulación de este gas en los recintos cerrados puede elevar las concentraciones y constituir un riesgo para la salud de las personas que lo inhalen. La OMS advierte de sus efectos, situándolo como agente cancerígeno de grado uno, siendo la segunda causa de contracción de cáncer de pulmón (la primera sería el tabaco). En esta comunicación se ofrecen pautas de diseño, y las particularidades asociadas a las estrategias de actuación, basándose en los estudios llevados a cabo a través de proyectos de investigación. Abstract The isotope of radon Rn-222, appears in nature as a product of the natural disintegration of radio-226, common in the earth's crust. The exhalation potential of a terrain is defined, on the one hand, by the radio content of the substrate (for example granitic), and on the other, by the permeability of the same that allows mobility through the pores (fractured). Radon, as a gaseous element, has a high mobility and can penetrate buildings through fissures or cracks by advection or diffusion through the permeability of the materials of the envelope that are in contact with the ground. The accumulation of this gas in enclosed areas can increase concentrations and constitute a risk to the health of people who inhale it. The WHO warns of its effects, placing it as a carcinogen of grade one, being the second cause of lung cancer contraction (the first would be tobacco). This communication offers design guidelines, and the particularities associated with the strategies of action, based on the studies carried out through research projects.
