civil/architectural engineeringcurriculums. As these topics are covered, it is helpful to keep in mind that questions wereframed in order to relate each topic to overall job satisfaction and inclination to remain part ofthe structural engineering work force.Pay and compensation The survey did not raise a concern for unequal pay for equal work for a majority ofsurvey respondents. Reference chart below. As can be seen, both men and women show equalpay upon entering the profession. As years of experience grow, the pay gap tends to widen, withmen earning more than women. However, survey evaluators found that at all levels except forPrincipal, the gap is not statistically significant and can be explained by secondary factors. Thereport gives
senior design having to do interpretive dance. – Fall 2019 Student I am very open minded and receptive to new ideas and methods different from the status quo. I really enjoyed hearing Dr. Akcali speak on divergent thinking and how engineers need to be more creative. The activities definitely foster a more connected type of thinking. What I mean by that is that the activities forced you to make connections in your mind that usually aren't made. I had to grab from different experiences and different ways of thinking in order to come up with a novel idea. – Summer 2019 Student Yes
content.Unlike the majority of the engineering curriculum, professional ethics is neither calculation- nordesign-intensive. Covering this content through traditional lecturing and text-based readingassignments often fails to fully motivate this generation of tech-savvy students to learn to theirfull potential. Improvements to course design and content delivery can improve studentengagement [5-9]. These strategies include developing interactive course activities [6],incorporating multimedia resources [7-9], and integrating practical experiences into the deliveryof the course content [9]. Specifically, recent papers have suggested incorporating a multi-modalapproach to teach ethics using popular media [10].Bearing this in mind, a short ethics module was
isimportant because the participating student engineers connected both their academic learning andreal-world experiences to those of their peers and to the book. Another difficulty was helpingpeople clearly articulate their thoughts. Facilitating these discussions while staying politicallyneutral and also authentic can be challenging. It is important to maintain an open mind andembrace the learning experience with the rest of the participants. Recommendations for how toimplement classroom discussion for long or short works of fiction can be found in [29].ConclusionsThis paper presents a case for using fiction in ethics education, with supporting literature frommultiple fields. The case study examines the use of a particular work of fiction in the

without the knowledge, skills, and confidence required forengineering design success. With these shortcomings in mind, we integrated design experiencesacross our BME curriculum and evaluated student design performance throughout.Methods: Four engineering design project assignments were developed and integrated intosophomore- and junior-level BME laboratory courses, establishing a continuous design thread inthe curriculum. Through the sequence of projects, student teams worked to design (1) fracturefixation plates, (2) electromyogram-controlled motor systems, (3) compact spectrophotometers,and (4) drug dosing devices. We also developed a common instructional Design Module andused it in each course to build student understanding of the BME design

developcurriculum and student experiences specific to the university and departmental missions, but canbe intimidating to faculty responsible for designing the critical experience with few universalrequirements. An inventory of common practices across the country to identify similar anddissimilar traits is valuable to faculty designing new experiences, aligned to new expectations forcivil engineers of today, mindful of the technology resources available to students at mostinstitutions, and with the ultimate value of ensuring the experience is comparable to programswith similar program missions. Additionally, the opportunity to inventory current standards ofpractice in capstone experiences is timely with the most recent release of ASCE’s Body ofKnowledge

Engaging with the newactive task, the participants methodically discussed how the various attributes of each parameter(vessel, milk fat content, chocolate properties, stirring tool) would impact mixing. Firstsustaining a divergent mode of thinking, the participants planned and carried out some simpleexperiments, and then observed how a tall, narrow vessel led to more difficult mixing than awide, round bottomed container. Clara questioned precisely how to assess homogenous mixingand generated some ideas: checking the sides of the container for residue after emptying theliquid and using color to qualitatively detect

Leifer, I integrate approaches from engineering, de- sign and psychology to investigate the contemporary team practice of multicultural design innovation and multicultural, interdisciplinary science innovation. Specifically, I investigate a psychological mechanism – perplexity - through which engineers thrive when their habitual mind clashes with the social realities. In addition, I test interventions to nudge engineers to reframe problematic schema-incongruent situations into unique opportunities for cognitive growth, creative performance, and effective teamwork. My work contributes to revealing the science behind multicultural, interdisciplinary technological collaboration and providing actionable guidance for
