Combining lectures, hands-on activities and YouTube screencasts, students engage more and have higher grades Civil engineering technology students prepare their structural model for a “shake-up” on test equipment designed to assess how buildings can withstand movement and vibrations. The project was part of a fall 2019 class in the College of Engineering Technology.
Transitioning demanding engineering classes to the online environment throughout the pandemic was a challenge, but Amanda Bao adjusted by supplementing lectures with a series of interactive and accessible materials that enhanced student learning.
The associate professor of civil engineering technology at Rochester Institute of Technology was prepared when she moved her Structural Dynamics course, required course by fourth- and fifth-year students, to Zoom and YouTube. That’s because she had been incorporating online materials to supplement coursework prior to the pandemic.

A former President of the Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE), Mrs Carlien Bou-Chedid, has been appointed the fifth President of the Federation of African Engineering Organisations (FAEO).
A press statement from the GhIE said Mrs Bou-Chedid was the first female and the first Ghanaian to hold the office of the president of the continental body.
She was also the first woman to hold the office of President of the GhIE.
Established in 2011 with headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria, the FAEO is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) with the umbrella body in Africa that represents the interests of all African engineering practitioners, most notably at the Wold Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO).
