addition to the extracurricular activities, there are work-study and co-opprograms that provide students with real-world experiences. Inside the classroom, studentsacquire the knowledge necessary to ultimately graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in their chosenmajor. All these experiences help transform the student from a dualistic to a relativistic point ofview. According to Dr. William Perry, author of Forms of Intellectual and Ethical Developmentin the College Years, there are nine positions of intellectual development that can be divided into Page 23.571.2two broad categories with position 5 as the pivotal point (see Appendix for Dr

Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), particularly the Body of Knowledge report15, andarticles from the Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice. Fromthis literature I identified three central themes of uncertainty in measurement, economicalimpact, and ethical decision-making as critical issues that are underrepresented in CivilEngineering, and particularly in Geotechnical Engineering curricula. In summary, I used theevidence shown in Figure 2 to select and justify the content for the new FSFME course. Figure 2. Evidence used to select and justify content for FSMFE courseOverall, I organized the enduring understanding into four primary learning objectives; studentswere expected to:  describe how issues

showed not only a high degree ofsatisfaction among the graduate student population, but also a general improvement of skills ineach of the three main focus areas.IntroductionAlthough industry requires young Ph.D.s. with well-rounded professional skills,1 many newgraduates lack these skills. First, with large number graduate students matriculating frominternational undergraduate programs, many students lack the ABET-required skills such asworking in multidisciplinary teams; understanding professional and ethical responsibility; andunderstanding the economic, environmental, and societal impact of their decisions.2,3Communications skills are also an issue.4 Second, for many universities the typical target forplacement of doctoral students is in

sure thateverybody finds a thing, but rather about making it accessible and easy to use and remix andshare once it's found. Radical transparency is not a magic bullet -- it's not an "if you build it, theywill come" route to millions of readers. But it is a way to give the readers you get an opportunityand a choice to engage more deeply with a work on their own terms. What surprised me was how foreign (and consequently scary due to being an unknown)transparency was to so many people in academia. The mode of sharing that I'd taken for grantedin the open source context was much more constrained by data privacy concerns in the scholarlyrealm. There are good reasons for this; ethics are vital, and sometimes preserving privacy is theright

] inspired by my mentor so I want to be a research professor and doresearch in academic. In academia, I think the main goal is how to develop a new method toimprove our life and make the environment better, and it is quite different than the industry. Sothe graduate school is necessary for my dream, and I will look for a post-doc position aftergraduate school. I think this program [will] really help me to develop my academic resume andacademic/personal statement, and provide abundant information about what we should knowbefore applying for graduate school, like NSF graduate fellowship, [responsible conduct ofresearch], research ethic, etc. I had never known some of the information after the seminars, andthey are very useful!”This post prompted a
