these groups. Insome institutions, it is common for graduate students to take courses outside of their departmentor college; in other programs, graduate students are not allowed to enroll in courses outside theirmajor or college.Another important question to answer during your visit or conversations is what kind of workingenvironments (office, lab, classroom, etc.) are typical for graduate students pursuing the researchor degree that interests you at that institution. Pursuing a graduate degree in engineering isdifferent than being an undergraduate; many graduate students find that their research andcoursework is more like having a job than being a student. Thus it is critical that you like thepeople in the research group or laboratory you are

Many of the strategies will beadapted from the inclusive thermodynamics classroom described by Riley and Claris [15], andtranslated into the context of Civil and Environmental Engineering courses. The inclusionprinciples can be categorized as related to curriculum design (content, non-technical professionalskills, assessment, and informal assumed knowledge) or teaching and learning (inclusiveteaching methods, classroom interaction, laboratories and equipment use, and language andimages) as described by

We close by setting research agendas andavenues needed to understand and impact concerns over diversity and inclusion in engineering.Introduction and backgroundDespite myriad calls for and programs aiming to bring engineering into K-12 settings, progresshas been hampered by an already crowded curricular scope, comparatively limited resources forteacher professional development on teaching engineering practices, and a relatively sparseadoption of state standards that include engineering. In this metasynthesis, we reflect on pastfindings and contrast this with more recent

reducethe number of credit hours to obtain a bachelor’s degree2,3. To overcome these challenges,educators must be creative and implement multiple topics and techniques into a single course.This is especially true when trying to teach non-technical engineering skills such asprofessionalism, communication, and economics as articulated in the ASCE Body ofKnowledge4. Activities such as design projects, field trips, and laboratory experiments are oftenused to help provide a well-rounded education. The objective of this research was to explore the design-build process in a series ofhorizontal design courses. Design-build is a common project delivery technique in the structuralengineering industry. Designers and contractors work as a single entity
