In the last 80 years, the professional degree programs experienced adecrease in total credit hours in their curriculum, including the architecture, engineering, andconstruction programs (AEC) [1]. It is possible to find examples of program requirementsreduced from over 210 credit hours to 120 credit hours [2]. In this evolutionary process, thecredit hour reductions are usually in the discipline-specific coursework while the core curriculumcomponents remain relatively intact. In this context, some AEC programs explored thepossibility of offering courses within the core

. IntroductionToday, one of the most critical decisions is the lifetime career choice, or at least an essential part.Given the above, students are influenced by different factors when choosing a program of study,and it does not necessarily have a direct relationship with their aptitudes. The student's decision toselect a college goes through different stages, and various studies have attempted to model thisprocess [1-5]. Moreover, universities worldwide try to attract as many students as possible to theirprograms, offering various benefits [6,7] and competing with other universities offering the sameprogram [8,9].Most studies aiming to understand the factors that influence students' decisions when choosing anacademic program are conducted at the university

Model to Prepare Pre-Service Teachers to Teach Engineering in K-12 (Work in Progress)Background and Motivation:Providing K-12 students with the opportunity to engage in engineering practices is critical toincrease engineering literacy, diversify the engineering workforce, and provide the skills andencouragement necessary for students to pursue careers in engineering [1]. The need to includeengineering in the K-12 classroom is also heavily emphasized in the Next Generation ScienceStandards, as well as the standards of many states [2]. Many schools are attempting to meet thesegoals both by incorporating engineering into the existing mathematics and science curriculumand developing standalone engineering courses, which were offered by 46% of high

retention rate is 69% [1] which means almost one-third ofstudents leave college just after one year. Most engineering students do not even experience anycore engineering courses during their first year at college. The average graduation rate fortraditional students attending classes full-time is 35.8% after four years, 46.4% after six years,and 47.8% after eight years [1]. There is no single factor that makes students leave college andsuch a decision is influenced by inter-related factors. However, among academic, personal, andfinancial factors, academic success is reported to be the best predictor of student retention andthe most important factor in the graduation rate [2].

inclusion efforts in STEM programs in higher education are widespread enoughthat engineering educators will be familiar with how their institutions do or do not implementthem. Gonzales et al. argue that diversity and inclusion efforts often “stem from a desire not totransform, but to implement small changes around the edges that will not disrupt the status quo”[1, p. 457]. Often these efforts are focused on how many members of marginalized andminoritized communities are invited into our institutions as students and faculty, but diversity isnot just about numbers of people. Diversifying curriculum and practicing inclusive pedagogiesoffers a direct route to reform that can impact learning outcomes for students and distribute theworkload of these

The active learning caused asignificant difference in retention of students with lower GPA while students with higher GPAwere unaffected by classroom pedagogy. Studies have also shown that different prior knowledgelevels can affect the final conceptual understanding of topics (4).

epistemic engineering practices such as envisioning multiple solutions to problems,iteratively designing and testing prototypes to optimize designs, working effectively in teams,and persisting and learning from design failures [1].The practice of persisting and learning from design failures is essential to engineering design asengineering problems are rarely easily solved. Engineers often encounter unforeseencircumstances, impediments, and even changing criteria or constraints that lead to failure ofdesigns. In fact, engineers value the opportunities that design failures provide for learning andimproving designs [2], and the anticipation of how failure might occur is a critical element insuccessful design [3].While engineers regard failure as an
