hasdecided to conduct all 2021-2022 reviews virtually and it expects to review over 1080 programsacross all four commissions during the accreditation cycle. Over 730 of these programs will beevaluated by EAC.The objectives of this study were to: • gather input on best practices and opportunities for improvement in all elements of the virtual review, including pre-visit preparation, virtual “on-site” operations, team dynamics, communication and training, and • provide recommendations for future virtual reviewsResults of surveys, author(s)’ observations, and recommendations to improve future reviews -whether in-person or virtual - are presented in this paper. Lessons learned address suggestionsfor improvement for future virtual reviews

the two classes are being combined into a single 4-credit H&H course starting in spring 2022. As currently formatted, H&H Lab is a course thatstresses applications of hydrologic and hydraulic principles through both physicalexperimentation and computer workshops. The AR sandbox module in this course is taughtduring the first class meeting of the semester, with each student group having 30 minutes tocomplete the activity. By using this module to start the course, it creates a memorable experiencewhile providing a broad introduction to basic hydrologic topics that will be covered throughoutthe semester in both the lab and lecture courses. The main emphasis of the module is watersheddelineation, but other concepts such as contours

engineers in practice would have become certified as EI’s, and thefirst batch of EI’s would have enough credits to satisfy the proposed BS+30 requirement forlicensure as PE’s. The current target for implementation of the NCEES Model Law is 2020. Ifthis proposal were adopted this year, then by 2022 implementation of the Raise the Bar initiativewould be painless, since virtually every practicing engineer would have the equivalent of the 30extra credit hours and the industry experience needed to obtain a PE license. In addition, thebulk of the practicing engineers would have at least one professional certification and thedreaded industry exemption to fade away naturally over the course of about 30 years as EI’s whoare already non-exempt become

The overall assessment has been beneficial in thecontinuous improvement process, and the authors feel strongly that having a teaching andlearning model is something all programs should consider adopting if they do not already haveone.References[1] B.

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

mobile, terrestrial, and airborne devices, should reach $4.5 billion by 2022.Note that this amount was $1.5 billion in 2017. Higher education instructors should take intoconsideration this rapidly evolving market and prepare students with necessary technical skills tosupply the new and growing workforce of this field. In a recent article, Goncalves and Santos [6]found that students are motivated to improve their 3D graphic representation skills through aclassroom contest where the resulting winning project is printed in 3D. The training in 2D and 3Dgraphic representation is complemented during the second year with several in-situ surveys andcomputer-aided drawing of topographic data. This approach proved to be meaningful forcompetence

Though this was an extremeview, more work can be done to remove unintended bias in the survey language to allow studentsto feel free to offer their perspective regardless of their opinion regarding social justice. Onestudent from the first-year course noted at the end of the survey where students were asked toreflect on the survey that they “[wished] this survey had more ideas that were not as polarizingand were more halfway because halfway seems like a more reasonable decision that peoplewould take.” The responses provided insight on potential revisions for the surveys prompts anddelivery.For the upcoming 2021-2022 academic year

practiced as a structural engineer and building envelope engineer in Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh. She previously served as a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Sarah teaches courses in Structural Engineering, Materials, Soil Mechanics, and Design. Sarah is passionate about curricular re- design to prepare students to be successful in the changing field and developing new design and laboratory courses intended to improve critical thinking and problem solving skills through experiential learning. As a 2021-2022 Provost’s Inclusive Teaching Fellow, Sarah will be working to improve social-consciousness of engineering students through changes to the CEE capstone design course.Ms. Andrea Francioni Rooney
