the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering(FE) exam and the NCEES Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. Most statesrequire at least four years of experiences after completion of an EAC-ABET accreditedengineering degree. However, the education requirement is far from uniform. Many state lawsinclude pathways to licensure for applicants with a non-accredited engineering degree, anengineering technology degree, a non-engineering bachelor’s degree, and no postsecondarydegree. In the following study, state engineering laws and rules were reviewed to determine theeducation, experience, and examination pathways to professional engineering licensure. Inparticular, the accreditation requirements for applicants with EAC-ABET degrees, ETAC

The mostcommon form for capstones in engineering are team based, some of which are single disciplinewhile others are multi-disciplinary. Literature on capstone studies have documented how toformulate teams, team group dynamics, and team peer surveys. Given new technologyadvancements, an area for continued study are strategies for how to have student teamscommunicate, collaborate and manage their designs with technology. This paper presents a seriesof trends over a 10-year span on how multi-disciplinary Architectural Engineering (AE) teamscollaborated, interfaced and communicated

During theCOVID-19 pandemic, engineering courses in the United States were forced to abruptly pivot fromvaried, active delivery strategies to remote-learning environments [1]. Challenges during COVIDdelivery included necessary modification of lab courses to online venues, a

follows that surveyingshould be included in a standard Civil Engineering curriculum. The surveying topics covered onthe FE exam are included in Table 1, and all of these are covered by Clemson’s Geomaticscourse.The Importance of Surveying Combined with Spatial Data TopicsIt is encouraging that 65% of schools reviewed in the analysis require at least one surveyingcourse in their Civil Engineering curriculum. However, to truly give students a solid foundationin surveying education, it is valuable to expose them to related technology such as GeographicInformation Systems, Global Positioning Systems, and Digital Terrain Modeling. Thesetechnologies utilize spatial data to help make informed engineering decisions and may be evenmore likely than
