Concerns about the quality of STEM educationhave been fueled by high levels of attrition in STEM majors, particularly among women andstudents from underrepresented minority groups, as well as the need for a more scientificallyliterate citizenry. There is now a substantial literature on teaching practices that can improvestudent learning and academic
Island International Engineering Program (IEP).3 The Rhode Island IEPseeks to train engineers to be able to operate in the international workplace by earning onedegree in an engineering discipline and one in a foreign language. In a similar, but more focusedway, the Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering uses aprogram called the Joe S. Mundy Global Learning Endowment4 to provide an internationallearning experience for students that may include international research or a summer-long studyabroad. In addition to the significant resources often needed to promote study abroad, there areother curricula actions that affect the perceived ability of institutions to promote globalization-related learning outcomes

The main learning objective of the assignment helps to further theattainment of the “Contemporary Issues and Historical Perspectives” outcome from theBOK, but the project also aides in the development of the “Communication” outcome.Specifically, the project develops historical perspective in the students by requiring themto consider several historical issues as they affected the career of their subject engineer.Each report must address the following: 1. Discuss the technological context of the historical period in which your subject lived and worked. What constituted standard engineering practice of the day? What construction techniques and analytical methods were employed? What con

ofstudents entering Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields out ofcollege. However, upon closer reflection, the focus today is to increase the number of studentsentering STEM fields out of high school through direct employment as technicians or going tocollege in a STEM field. High schools around the country have replaced or enhanced theirofferings in the areas that used to cover shop and home economics. We see high schools withSTEM programs that are focused on drafting, electronics, and college STEM preparation.1Success in STEM focused high school programs relies on students entering with a desire to studyand/or enter STEM fields.

anassessment plan in preparation for the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) accreditation, and start offering courses4.Objective of the studyThe objective of the study is to modify the proposed curriculum of the new Civil Engineering(CE) program developed by mechanical engineering faculty at the Engineering department. Thegoal of the proposed modification is to make the program comparable to curricula offered at CEprograms in the US in general and the State of Indiana and nearby schools in Michigan and Ohioin particular. Moreover, the program should serve the needs of Indiana as presented in the surveyof 27 civil engineering firms in the State. The proposed modification would fortify the programwith the same resources listed in
