The main motivation when the survey wasfirst done was assessing student performance in their mathematics and science courses. Theauthors plan to report on results of this newer survey question in future work.References[1] S. Gratiano and W.

of the survey results is included in Appendix D ofthe CEBOK3 [1] and in the 2019 ASEE paper, “Constituent Input in the Process of Developing the ThirdEdition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK3)” [12].There is no doubt that the surveys proved instrumental in development of the CEBOK3 and were criticalin both providing input and generating discussion among the committee members. However, theCEBOK3TC was fortunate to have two committee members who had extensive experience withdesigning and conducting surveys and providing the analysis for the committee. This was notdeliberately considered in the selection of committee members for CEBOK3TC. The authors recommendthat any future committees that may have extensive survey work

Three hundred forty-eight FTIACs were eligible to participate. One studentdied during the Fall 2019 semester and four others made complete withdrawals from theuniversity for unknown reasons. These students were removed from the analysis, leaving apotential pool of 343 participants. One hundred four completed the start-of-semester survey(30.3% response rate) and 42 completed both the start- and end-of semester surveys (12.2%response rate).

from those in years 2 and 3. This is due first, to a University-widechange in learning management systems which moved all courses from Blackboard™ toCanvas ™ in 2018, and a corresponding move from the video capture system TechSmith Relayto VidGrid. The free online whiteboard, Stoodle, that was used for group collaboration in 2016was eliminated and left an essential gap in the course design. To fill this gap, in 2018 and 2019,Microsoft One Note was used because it was free on campus and mimicked much of the samefunctionality, albeit with intermittent lags in performance.
