Growth in Number of ABET EAC-accredited EnvE programs in the U.S.The Environmental Engineering Body of Knowledge (BOK) outlined aspirational content forbachelor’s degree programs in environmental engineering. It acknowledged the historical rootsof the environmental engineering discipline, stating “in the1980’s and 1990’s, environmentalengineering evolved into a stand-alone engineering discipline…engineers came to view thisdiscipline as separate from, albeit related to, allied engineering disciplines such as civil andchemical engineering.”9 (p. 7). The BOK also recognized that a balance of technical and

Some reported figures were round numbers, while others appearedto be more exactly counted totals. Totals are best understood as approximations, for all that the figures are carried out tothe 10’s and 1’s digits. Furthermore, the categories are likely not understood in the same way by all respondents.“Community members” in one figure might well include participants reported as “parents,” for example, in another. redoubtable example of engineering outreach
multidisciplinary approach shows that such projects can leverage on thecomplementary skills and disciplinary expertise of individuals and institutions so that effectivepartnership can form to provide inspirational learning experience for all participants.Florida Institute of Technology program has a similar senior design model, spanning a total ofthree semesters, a single credit junior design course held in the spring semester, followed by bothsenior year semesters. Being a smaller school with 14 different engineering disciplines,multidisciplinary senior design projects are commonplace, allowing students from variousdisciplines to work collaboratively to meet the end requirement(s). Oftentimes, senior designprojects are industry-sponsored, although

ProgramThe Citadel’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering was awarded an NSF S-STEM award with the goal of graduating 23 students with diverse backgrounds with a degree inCivil Engineering. So far 30 EXCEL-SC scholarships have been awarded totaling $436,000. Inaddition, approximately $30,000 in stipends have been awarded to 20 EXCEL-SC students forenrollment in The Citadel’s College Success Institute (summer school program prior to freshmanyear to acclimate students to military college life while taking up to four academic credits).The program has many elements that contribute to student success and engagement. Forexample, The Citadel’s Academic Support Center, through funding from a Foundation Grant,provided a graduate student to serve
an array of active learning approaches that pique their interest and spark excitement about the possible outcomes for their students. After initial exposure to new activities, contextual questions naturally arise for educators, and a clear understanding of the essential features for successfully implementing a teaching strategy becomes necessary. Reflection activities represent one approach for active learning that educators reasonably have questions about before adopting the approach. Reflection is a topic that can have various meanings. For this project, reflection was conceptualized with the following definition: looking back on the past experience(s), to interpret and make meaning of those experiences in order to plan for the future [1
stakeholders, and a concurrent lack ofinfluence offered by more abstracted stakeholders. Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences.

This is obfuscating since it is not clear to the authors whether the reviewer isreferring to the first sentence of the third paragraph in the abstract or that in the section on“Introduction and Philosophy”. Nevertheless, we examine both and make a change to the firstsentence of the third paragraph in the abstract: • “Problems in polar coordinates are complex in comparison to those in rectilinear coordinates. This is because of the requirement of symmetry boundary conditions or the neglect of constants of integration to avoid singularity type of errors when solving polar coordinate problems analytically.” has been
with our assessment plan for at least one academic year, we willcertainly identify several areas of improvement to modify the course even further.

Create appropriate mates between partsMASTER MODEL METHODThe core idea behind the master model method [8, 9] is to create all the assembly parts in one part file (master or parent part) and thenspin them off (split them) into multiple child parts. As a result, the master model method creates a parent/child relationship moreeffectively in 3D modeling. For example, when the CAD designer makes changes in the parent part, the changes are automaticallyapplied to the child part. In general, it enables the designer to make changes in assembly easily. For more complex assembly it alsoallows user to understand all the clearance
