Practitioners are meeting the needs ofsustainable infrastructure design in diverse ways, so it follows that understanding case studies ofsustainable infrastructure design provides innovation and insights as they occur. Servicelearning, a community-responsive expression of experiential learning, is a reciprocal learningframework which provides access to practitioner’s innovations alongside an opportunity forstudents to strengthen engineering design and analysis skills, with the potential for substantivecommunity impact [5].

theirpresence is in alignment with appropriate social etiquette and communication skills. In addition, another area where cooperative learning is especially impactful is in the developmentof employability skills. Employability skills refer to those basic skills that are necessary for anindividual to obtain, maintain, and succeed in meaningful employment. Students expect to leaveschool after having gained the skills, knowledge and ability to earn a job [38]. These skills include notonly basic academic skills but higher-level thinking skills and the so-called “soft skills” such as timemanagement, communication, punctuality and cooperation [39].

The overall goals for the coursewere for students to increase their self-confidence and professional skills in order to access thehidden job market.CourseThe course was titled ‘Career Launch’ and a course description was created as follows: “The purpose of the course is to teach students how to be intentional and proactive in creating relationships with professionals, at employers of interest to each individual student, from scratch. Students will also learn outreach best practices, how to conduct an effective career conversation, how to follow-up, and how to sustain a professional relationship over time.

Each senior design team is required to analyze theethical implications of their product or process design and the trainee/tutor will engage thestudents on those teams in generating the best possible analysis. The student design teams willthen rate the trainee/consultants on their impact. This allows for the faculty to review theperformance of each trainee/tutor in a more controlled

specifically for mobility engineers. Since examination is oneof the pillars toward licensure, the gap reflects the lack of a complete roadmap toward theprofessional career of mobility engineers. It implies the effectiveness of education programs andquality of practice in this field could be undermined. For example, decision making generatedfrom engineering judgment may lack the grounds of widely accepted norms. Besides,engineering practice could be less tracked, disciplined, or protected. Eventually, less regulatedpractice could lead to adverse impacts on public safety as well as the health of the engineeringcommunity.One of the most important purposes of professional engineering licensure is to provide assuranceto the public of a minimum level of

While several theories of retention have emerged over the last few decades, two havedominated the theory and practice of retention: 1. Tinto’s academic and social integration model 8, 9, 10 and 2. Astin’s involvement model 11, 12In a nutshell, Tinto and Astin suggest that retention and persistence to graduation occurs whenstudents successfully integrate into the institution academically and socially and when students areinvolved and connected. Involvement refers to both formal academic or intellectual pursuits aswell as co-curricular activities. Additionally, Bandura 13 ties the
function oftime. Students can visualize the metal flow into the mold and gain some insight on themold design. Once the mold is filled with hot metal the solidification will begin. Figure 7shows some snap shots of temperature distribution during mold filling. As temperaturedistribution plays important role in developing the residual stress, students will gain someinsight on the design of metal casting component. For example, non-uniform thickness ortoo thick of a component near the center will cool down too slowly as compared to thematerials on the surface. This will result in residual stress which can lead to wrapping ofthe parts during secondary processing. Different color coding will differentiate the spatialdistribution of temperature profile
