Lutz, Oregon State University Ben Lutz is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Engineering Education at Oregon State University. His research in- terests include innovative pedagogies in engineering design, conceptual change and development, school- to-work transitions for new engineers, and efforts for inclusion and diversity within engineering. His current work explores how students describe their own learning in engineering design and how that learn- ing supports transfer of learning from school into professional practice as well as exploring students’ conceptions of diversity and its importance within engineering fields.Dr. Shane A. Brown P.E., Oregon State University Shane Brown is an associate professor and Associate

that are open, challenging, visionary, exploratory and powerful such as: what would you do if you could not fail; what would you do if time and money were no object; what could you do to make this fun; what is the best possible outcome you can imagine [18]? 4. Successful mentoring involves clear expectations and this is the fourth factor. In the trial we had expectations for both students and industry mentors that facilitated shared understandings of levels of commitment and responsibilities of each partner. 5. Our final factor concerned goal setting. Discussing the student’s career and professional development goals is a way to help them focus on what they want to achieve as an incoming member of the

havetransferred into the program and therefore taken a general introduction to engineeringcourse offered by the college that does not discuss licensure, or had taken the Introductionto Civil Engineering course from an architectural engineering faculty member in 2014who did not discuss potential changes to the licensure requirements.The seniors indicating that they were not planning to get a PE “in any case” also deservesfurther discussion. Among the four students indicating this, three were interested in aconstruction engineering job after graduation. A large percentage of the civil engineeringmajors at the institution are primarily interested in the construction engineering &management side of the discipline. These students receive various messages

instructional strategy that seeks to overcome issues of student conceptual understanding.Dr. Mark Henry Clark, Oregon Institute of Technology After receiving a B.S. in mechanical engineering at Rice University in 1984, Mark Henry Clark decided to pursue a career in the history of technology, earning a Ph.D. in the subject at the University of Delaware in 1992. Since 1996, he has been professor of history at the Oregon Institute of Technology. He has also been a visiting faculty member at the University of Aarhus and the Technical University of Denmark. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Bridging the Gap: A Co-Taught Field Course with Integrated History and Civil
