class topic was a local issue brought to light on August 9th, 2018, when the Tampa BayTimes released a story, “The Hillsborough School District found lead in its water. It didn’t tellparents for a year [6].” The authors of that article linked it to a newspaper database presentingthe results from the school district’s tests to date. Main concerns highlighted in that article were1) the district did not inform parents about the tests or the results for 17 months, 2) parents wereconcerned about the impact of lead on their kids’ development, 3) levels of lead were of concernin some schools, 4) the district had only tested 53 schools to date and 2022 was the expected datafor completion of testing of their 270 facilities, and 5) the target

importance of increasing the number and diversity of graduates with bachelor’s degrees inSTEM has been highlighted in several national reports [3, 4]. To answer calls, such as the 2012President’s Council on Science and Technology stated need for 1 million more STEM degrees inthe next decade, the 2011 President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness goal of 10,000 moreengineering students from US colleges and universities each year, and the Texas WorkforceCommission estimated state projected need of 62,000 more engineers (25% increase) by 2022,developing strategic pathways to increase achievement of STEM degrees for all students, inparticular for underrepresented populations, is essential [5, 6, 7].

higher internship ratesthan their predecessors until 2022. That said, initial data related to the initiative is promising andpoints to clear gains. A summary of current data related to each program goal is included below.Goal 1: Increase the percentage of students who complete an internship prior to graduation.While data is still pending regarding internship rates for current students, there were someinteresting results with regards to the internship culture in the department. Pre and post-surveysadministered as part of MCEN2000 included questions about whether students believedinternships were valuable and whether they were planning to apply for an internship for thefollowing summer. The sample size for that survey was 180 after feedback was
projects 37% growth in this need by 2022[1]. Others have described the need, more immediately, as the field having negativeunemployment [26] and the industry experiencing a “crisis” [27].The demand outpacing supply has resulted in jobs going unfilled or being performed byindividuals with less than the desired level of qualifications [26]. It has also resulted in startingsalaries that exceed even the higher-than-average salaries for computing graduates, with astarting salary of $116,000 per year for cybersecurity professionals in the Washington D.C. area,for example. At the time of this writing, approximately 30% of cybersecurity positions in theUnited States are unfiled: with 313,735 open positions, 715,715 filled positions for a totaldesired
of generating diverse and originalideas with fluency and speed. Even during design experiences, neither the importance ofcreativity nor various methods to boost it is covered, leaving students mostly on their own for alimited duration for “brainstorming”. However, creativity and originality are among the mostsignificant skills employers want today; and they are also projected to be in demand in years tocome (see Figure 1).Figure 1. A Comparison on Skills Demand – 2018 vs. 2022 (The Future of Jobs Report, 2018,pp.12 [4])To a certain extent, this rather ad hoc approach to creativity is due to a lack of knowledge on thecognitive and neural mechanisms underlying divergent thinking, and creative ideation moregenerally.

controlgroup at LUC, as our entire curriculum is built on active learning [1].” The class of 2021, whichis the basis of the study sample in this paper, originally had only 42 freshmen. To increase thetotal study sample, we will continue this study with the classes of 2022, 2023, and 2024.ConclusionThrough a four-semester cardiograph project, LUC is investigating the hypothesis that curricularcontextual thread problem-based learning activities increase student engagement and studentretention. The findings from this second phase of the project demonstrate that students areactively engaged in the curriculum, in general, and that the cardiograph project further facilitatedthis engagement. Consistent with demands from the field for students to gain
require technological understanding to remain competitive in a job market driven by advancingtechnology. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that occupations in information technology andComputer Science will grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2026 [1]. Regardless, most K-12 schools in theUS and other countries do not currently offer Computer Science courses, so state legislatures haveturned their attention to incorporating these programming skills in K-12 curricula. For example, inthe Wyoming Legislature’s 2018 Budget Session, Senate File 29 was passed, adding Computer Sci-ence and computational thinking to the state educational program [2]. This bill requires ComputerScience to be incorporated into the K-12 curriculum by the 2022-23 school year
global competitiveness. While thesector makes up just 11% of the economy, advanced manufacturers conduct 68% of the privatesector R&D [4].Although the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecast manufacturing sector jobs to increaseslightly through 2022 [5], a critical aspect of manufacturing positions is the decline of theexisting workforce aging out with little backfill of new employees, and the relationship ofinformation technology to all manufacturing jobs [6, 7]. Eighty percent of manufacturingexecutives reported they are willing to pay more than the market rates in workforce areassuffering a talent crisis, yet six out of 10 positions remain unfilled due to the talent shortage [8].Manufacturing is often portrayed or perceived as a dark and
LC-DLM use. In thisway, dissemination of the LC-DLMs will be organized and highly effective given that allimplementers will receive extensive hands-on training before implementation. Workshops willalso be held at the ASSE National Conferences in 2021 and 2022 and ASEE CHED DivisionSummer School (ASEE SS) in 2021 where faculty not previously committed to the project mayreceive training, find out how to build their own modules, and learn about ways they canpurchase LC-DLM modules as we expect there will be a commercial supplier by then. Insummary, dissemination efforts are focused on regional distribution efforts to 48 institutionsand/or programs through a workshop-based approach where we will seek to train allimplementers before LC-DLM
exposure andquality of capstone prototypes. Specifically, the number of groups using sensors or mechatronicsystems in their prototypes will be recorded. The grade given for the quality of these prototypesand anecdotal observations will be recorded for these groups as well. The class of 2019 (currentseniors) did not see any of the modified content, 2020 will see it in ME 2511 and ME 3511, 2021will see these two plus ENGR 1051, and 2022 and on will see all modifications. Collecting dataover the next four years will provide insight into how increased exposure affects prototypequality. An additional comparison point for the effects of repeated exposure could be gained bycomparing mechanical engineering projects to projects from other majors, since all
Accreditation is expected to convene a new CivilEngineering Program Criteria Task Committee, whose work on reviewing and if needed, revising,the Program Criteria, is scheduled to begin in October 2020. Draft criteria are scheduled forpublication in March 2022. The first ABET reviews under the new criteria will take place inSeptember 2024.The BOK2 and BOK3 were developed as part of a systematic process [2], [4], and [5] using ascholarly and well-documented approach, including broad input from across the civil engineeringprofession, and considering the changing needs of the civil engineering profession [6].Recognition of the need for a civil engineering body of knowledge is supported through theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Policy Statement

whereasentrepreneurship is most often based on innovation.Recent studies on future workforce needs identify the need for “refreshing curricula to includeskills required in the future workforce – both digital as well as ‘human’ skills such ascommunication, problem-solving, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking.” [13] And,while it might be natural to infer that proficiency in new technologies would be at the top of theskills list, it is “only one part of the 2022 skills equation…as ‘human’ skills such as creativity,originality and initiative, critical thinking, persuasion, and negotiation… attention to detail,resilience, flexibility and complex problem solving [will] see outsized increase in demandrelative to their current prominence.” [14] At the same
