Course Description
The widening of students perspective and awareness of topic of interest to civil engineers through seminar offered by faculty, guest speakers and graduate students. Using an inter-disciplinary approach, this seminar will provide doctoral students with a background in a variety of theoretical and methodological frameworks that are relevant to the practice of educational research. Topics presented will reflect students’ research backgrounds and interests. The seminar will emphasize the connections between theory and method, and will prepare students to develop methodological and theoretical frameworks for their own doctoral research. Seminar goals are to prepare students to become reflexive members of a scholarly community through focused, intellectual discussion and inquiry, as well as through the development of specific research knowledge and skills.
