However, this list is not authoritative for three reasons: • The seven traditional civil engineering areas were originally defined to describe the full breadth of the traditional civil engineering undergraduate curriculum [23]; they were not defined with specialty certification in mind and thus might not be entirely applicable to specialty certification. (As evidence of this issue, note that the existing ASCE board certifications in Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Port Engineering, and Navigation Engineering do not correspond to any of the seven traditional civil engineering areas.) • New

They responded that what they liked most about NEET was that theywere becoming part of a professional community; this feedback though welcome, was somewhatunexpected as NEET had not been designed with that goal in mind. Sophomores appreciated the project-centric approach and the interactions NEET was starting to develop with industry.Though it is far too early to come to meaningful conclusions for the medium to longer term, the initialresponse is encouraging.

It's someone who straddles both fields or straddles multiple fields. Whether there's a camp of people that are developmental in training but see value in engineering approaches to either answering developmental questions or trying to harness developmental programs for tissue repair applications. I think that's a great example of people who care and are invested in biology but are also thinking about modulating or controlling those biologies for something translational. In my mind, people who can do that, who see value in both sides and can speak the speak of both sides
"I enjoy giving back to the Extracurriculars experiences in extracurricular 11.11% community." activitiesWhile many students attributed their experiences with poor mental health to engineering, somestudents described resources and practices they were pursuing to improve their mental health:“Developed an anxiety disorder after starting college, currently taking steps to help (seeing aprofessional, practicing mindfulness/wellbeing).”. Other positive experiences listed by studentsincluded department resources (buildings, budget, etc.), good advising, faith, mindfulness, andmeditation.DiscussionThe overall goal of the project is to
working alongside colleagues of different nationalities.I believe that if there was one aspect of the course I would improve, it would be to establish strongstandards and expectations of the group members at the beginning of the project. It is a commonphilosophy among management courses, that conflicts occur in the beginning of the formation of ateam as members stumble around to find their niche and challenge each other’s knowledge andauthority. However, it is important to understand that conflict is normal and necessary to create aninnovative group of engineers. On the contrary, keeping in mind that each person has a differentpersonality type, responds to stress and conflict differently, and perceives and communicates ideasin their own way. A

%).This was the same change observed for the Architecture students who thought the same aboutconstruction engineers, and all changed their mind (50% to 0%). This illustrates the idea that thecollaborative work environment reinforced in the project between different disciplines representsan attempt to reach common goals (class deliverables). Architecture students also changed theirperception, reporting an increase regarding Construction Engineers needing Civil Engineers'assistance during construction from 12% to 31%. This also shows that Architecture students areincreasing their knowledge and awareness of the advantages of the involvement of Civil Engineersin the construction process.In terms of comparing the various disciplines, Architecture and
EngineeringSimilar to theatre practitioners that use different techniques and tools to approach different theatreproduction, engineers perform a similar analysis to figure out the best practice for each system.This is also closely tied to the importance of keeping the main stakeholder in mind whendeveloping a system. In theatre it is seen when the director and everyone else involved in theproduction work towards doing justice to the playwright’s vision. In engineering it is seen whenengineers work towards trying to please the stakeholder’s vision.This course aimed at teaching the students multidisciplinary teamwork and leadership skills.Theatre practitioners, as do engineers, work closely with individuals that come from differentbackgrounds, that speak

These outcome spaces will then be used to develop ataxonomy of ambiguity that can be used in future studies of engineering problem solving.Ultimately, we aim to provide better instructional materials, methods, and tool kits for teachingstudents to solve ambiguous engineering problems.IntroductionHow do engineers handle ambiguous problems? This is a common question pondered by bothacademic and professional engineers. “Maturity of mind is the capacity to endure uncertainty,”said John Huston Finley [1], former President of the College of the City of New York,Commissioner of
achieve specific objectives. Discourse analysis revealed peer responses characterizedas either socially supportive or socially unsupported and demonstrated that students typicallyrelied on supportive social responses to resolve the uncertainties they encountered as theyengaged in the task. This paper focuses on exploring student perceptions of collaborativeengineering design experience and the ways in which they collaborate as they complete a novelengineering design task.The hope of curricular interventions is that, through engineering experiences, students willdevelop habits of mind than will enable them to apply the Engineering Design Process (EDP) tosolve engineering problems [2]. However, as much of the research on students use of the
chemistry curriculum is arranging student lab teams so that each person has a turninvestigating and monitoring the safety issues specific to a lab session [2]. Other appropriatepractices that include training teaching assistants in safety protocols [3], organizing a lab spacewith safety in mind [4], or making use of a virtual lab.In civil and environmental engineering, there can be many types of lab spaces. It depends on thefaculty members’ areas of interest and program emphasis. However, various types of labs can begrouped into three major categories based on the particular hazards they contain. In laboratoriesthat involve construction, materials and machinery, students encounter hazardous physicaldevices. In environmental and biological labs

We also asked them to be mindful of demographic diversitywhere possible. The four organizations represented the following industries: Chemicalprocessing, manufacturing, consulting/mining, and software. To ensure the inclusion ofengineers who had followed less traditional paths, we also reached out to senior engineersemployed in public service, finance, university leadership and social impact enterprises. In theend, 28 senior engineers consented to participate. Despite our intention to diversify our sample

Allen’s reading practices seem to match hisview of the purpose of reading: to gain information. Students were engaged in makingmeaning from the texts and they practiced strategies to improve comprehension andunderstanding. In these two units, students did not use the information they read and were notasked to read with an engineering purpose in mind such as identifying the problem.Allen’s texts seemed informational in nature. In one unit, students were asked to design andtest a model airplane. Students learned many new vocabulary words such as aerospaceengineer, tapered leading edge, and straight trailing

There hasbeen some previous research investigating relationships between demographic variables andengineering fields, but leaves out the student perspectives and expectations in choosing a major[11]. With this in mind, we focus on engineering specifically with our data from students in firstyear engineering coursework analyzing their expectations by reading the response data fromsurveys.A large portion of previously conducted major selection research comes from the perspective oftrying to introduce more people into STEM fields.

Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech is currently infusing entrepreneurial minded learning and critical reflection throughout the undergraduate curriculum. One unique aspect of this effort is the creation of studentfaculty partnerships that are focused on developing more entrepreneurially minded and reflective pedagogy within specific core courses. In this pilot effort, eight biomedical engineering students were recruited based on previous course experience, academic performance, and expressed interest in entrepreneurially minded learning and course development. These student partners formed a core team of course implementation assistants (CIA) that were overseen and supported by one faculty member serving as team leader. Six
