Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning, to understand engineering students’ identity devel- opment. She is the recipient of a 2014 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Educational Research and Methods Division Apprentice Faculty Grant. She has also been recognized for the synergy of

climatechanging emissions. The purpose of the research presented in this paper is to assess howundergraduate civil engineering programs contribute to this goal. A cross-sectional comparisonbetween data from a prior national survey of freshmen engineering students interested in civilengineering and pilot data from a national survey to senior undergraduate engineering studentswas used to assess students’ belief in climate change, their understanding of climate science, anddesire to address climate change in their careers. The results indicate that senior undergraduatecivil engineering students are more likely to believe that climate change is caused by humans(67%) compared to freshmen engineering students (47%). These seniors are also more likely(73%) to

Many companies have always sent recruiters to collegecampuses. Today, most companies understand that hosting a recruiting event on campus is notfree and colleges and schools are looking for additional fund raising opportunities. It is notuncommon for companies to pay $100-$500 or more to participate in a college career fair. AtThe Citadel, there is a college-wide career fair where some engineering companies participatewhen looking for other than just engineering graduates. The School of Engineering hosts anengineering only focused career fair with 40-50

Research has explored thebenefits for young women of mentoring them into STEM subjects [9], the role of mentors inraising young women’s persistence [10] and their retention in engineering disciplines at a higherlevel [11]. A positive impact on career planning in STEM disciplines has also been found forstudents with disabilities [12]. Undergraduate students can mentor other students consideringentering the industry post-school [13] as well as their undergraduate peers [14

The most and least important infrastructure components? b. Impact of infrastructure revitalization on their future careers? c. Current condition of the infrastructure? d. Willingness to consider non-traditional solutions to infrastructure challenges? 2. Are there regional differences in students’ views of infrastructure (comparing students in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and West)? 3. Are there gender differences in students’ views of infrastructure? 4. How do students’ views of infrastructure change as they progress through civil engineer

supports raise the bar; its statement adopted in 2016 notes [42]: With the continuing rapid expansion of knowledge required to practice in the basic, as well as the many specialized areas of engineering, NSPE believes that additional engineering education, but not limited to formal academic education, beyond the four year ABET/EAC degree should be required to meet the formal preparation necessary for the practice of licensed professional engineering.One of the arguments opposing raising the bar on PE licensure is that fewer studentswould pursue engineering as a major and a career [9]. However, the author could find noactual data reporting how engineering students felt about the potential requirement foradditional formal education beyond

The following section furthers the discussion onthis introductory course and its contents.Introductory Transportation Engineering CoursesAn introductory course is often the first exposure to transportation engineering that civilengineering students receive in their undergraduate career. This course has the ability toinspire students to pursue more advanced transportation engineering courses andultimately a career within the field. In order to gain students’ attention, introductorycourses require effective strategies [23] of

Cultivating this ability before entering the work force could be highlyimpactful for the career trajectory of new engineers.Just as there is variability in student preparation, there is variability in structural design instructors.Some are well prepared to skillfully blend lessons in structural behavior and the details of thedesign specification, while others are not and may tend to fall into the common trap of assigninga linear presumption to the amount of material they cram into their course. This is a well-recognized problem in engineering courses, as wonderfully described and analyzed by ProfessorEmeritus David Bella of Oregon State University [3], where the focus is on productivity – the moretopics covered in a course, the better the course

One of the project goals is to increaseUTAs’ depth of content knowledge and determine the impact of their UTA experience as theymatriculate through their degree program. The UTAs will also be tracked through theircurriculum to determine if being an UTA has an impact in their advanced courses as well as theirfuture career paths. The anticipated result is the UTAs will show a deeper understanding of thematerials they have taught, and they will use some of the educational techniques they havelearned to improve their personal learning methods. A possible secondary outcome of being anUTA is that the teaching experience may influence them to pursue an academic career at eitherthe primary, secondary or

Scaffolding and supporting students early on in these processes can facilitate purposeful engagement throughout their professional practice. Future work related to this study will involve developing quantitative instruments, e.g. surveys, used to assess data that can document students’ progression through their placements, and find any common threads across students and placements.References[1
