engineering can informfuture educators in this field, reducing time spent surveying available technologies and pointingtowards strategies shown to be effective in this context.Tags: Engineering Education, Structural Design, Structural Analysis, Mixed-Mode Instruction,Remote InstructionIntroduction Engineering education is generally considered an active learning domain that consists oflectures with labs, design builds, prototype testing, and other instructional modalities. During theCOVID-19 pandemic, engineering courses in the United States were forced to abruptly pivot fromvaried, active delivery strategies to remote-learning environments [1]. Challenges during COVIDdelivery included necessary modification of lab courses to online venues, a

Applicability of the Program Criteria generally isdetermined by the
contributions at the college, university, regional, and national levels. In addition to producing various journal and conference publications, he has been involved in the development of numerous software packages for research, education, and professional applications. Several of these programs have evolved into commercial products and are used widely in education and practice.

The instructors guided their local students until thepoint at which they were put into groups. The project was divided into two main tasks, whichwere performed collaboratively between the group members but submitted individually. Studentsat the host institution were given extensive equipment and safety training. They
are required to take both refresher training and pre-visit training toimprove performance and consistency.Any engineering program director should consider becoming an ABET evaluator as a means tostay current on ABET changes and to prepare one’s own program for evaluation. It is a lot ofwork, but there is no better way to learn what other programs are doing.ABET is us. The ABET staff is very small and most of the accreditation work is done byvolunteer evaluators and team chiefs who are either practitioners or academic faculty in similarprograms. We are in essence a self-regulating entity. And hopefully if we do a good jobpolicing ourselves, nobody else will ever have to.Bibliography1 Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc
follows that surveyingshould be included in a standard Civil Engineering curriculum. The surveying topics covered onthe FE exam are included in Table 1, and all of these are covered by Clemson’s Geomaticscourse.The Importance of Surveying Combined with Spatial Data TopicsIt is encouraging that 65% of schools reviewed in the analysis require at least one surveyingcourse in their Civil Engineering curriculum. However, to truly give students a solid foundationin surveying education, it is valuable to expose them to related technology such as GeographicInformation Systems, Global Positioning Systems, and Digital Terrain Modeling.
