Howell, Kenneth Leitch, Vinu Unnikrishnan, and Erick Butler Civil and Environmental Engineering College of Engineering, West Texas A&M UniversityAbstractEngineering education literature provides evidence for many positive impacts from Service-Learning (SL)on engineering students and young engineering professionals. Traditionally most engineering courseworkis heavy on hard science and math and very light on courses involving social sciences. Four faculty (allnoted as co-authors) from West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) advised or led in two different civiland environmental engineering senior design student groups in a SL opportunity in Amarillo, TX in the2019-20 school year. We worked with a local

theirpresence is in alignment with appropriate social etiquette and communication skills. In addition, another area where cooperative learning is especially impactful is in the developmentof employability skills. Employability skills refer to those basic skills that are necessary for anindividual to obtain, maintain, and succeed in meaningful employment. Students expect to leaveschool after having gained the skills, knowledge and ability to earn a job [38]. These skills include notonly basic academic skills but higher-level thinking skills and the so-called “soft skills” such as timemanagement, communication, punctuality and cooperation [39].

inclusive classroom. The teaching fellows arecurrently writing up their results for FIE submission. The Research Faculty Fellows meet weekly to plan and design classroom experiments in theirown classroom, write NSF proposals, and give feedback on each other's work and publications. Manyof the participants found the training on how to write strong research proposals highly valuable andcommented that the group provided valuable insight and feedback into the proposal writing process.The grant writing training includes tips and guidelines for how to write a research proposal, plan atimeline, budget the project, involve the best collaborators, and create project management andpersonnel documents such as a biosketch and facilities description

Many of the lab assignments for this courseinvolve developing code to address challenges encountered in their concurrent calculus course orsubsequent physics

leadership as an imprecise “soft skill,” a review of relevant leadershipliterature reveals that myriad sources of (hard) data are already in use to inform functions ofleadership. The trend to do so is increasing dramatically. Accordingly, it is appropriate toreconsider how best to prepare engineers to exercise leadership in organizations as they evolveinto the future. Indeed, organizations increasingly need engineers to practice effective leadership,a workplace trend that is now embodied in ABET criteria for competencies among engineeringgraduates. An important benefit of exploring data-informed, data-influenced, and data-drivenleadership is to mitigate the common reluctance of engineers to embrace leadership opportunities.Specifically, this paper

Education 2program accreditation. Namely, the faculty should all participate in the continuous improvementprocess which is a requirement for accreditation. In some cases, ABET reviewers have asked basicquestions about the accreditation process to a wide range of faculty, especially new AssistantProfessors, who have taught core engineering courses. These courses invariably have a linking ofthe course objectives, course learning outcomes and the ABET student outcomes. These coursesmay not be Senior Design, but they do contribute to the attainment of student outcomes that areexpected by the time of graduation. The skills, knowledge and behaviors that students acquire arethroughout the engineering
