In this effort, CFD recruited external evaluatorswho had extensive program assessment experiences from the broader engineering educationcommunity to conduct two successive, comprehensive program evaluations for the ETW inSummer 2021 and Summer 2022. To diminish confirmation bias in the evaluation efforts, CFDintentionally sought external evaluators who had no prior connection to CFD or the ETW. Theevaluations of the ETW in Summer 2021 and Summer 2022 focused on identifying the ETW’sstrengths and areas for improvement in

Resolution 946-22 [3]. While five years seems like ample time to make this transition, itis not. The timeline shows that the time between the announcement of the decision to thesubmission of every academic department’s plan was only sixteen months. This paper chroniclesthe conversion to semester effort during this time period for the architectural engineering(ARCE) program and suggests a formalized methodology that other programs and institutionscan use if found in the same situation. The paper attempts to focus on the process and thechallenges of this conversion more than the specific details of the ARCE curriculum.

At our school, civilengineering students take a senior seminar course that has a collection of topics to prepare themfor successful entry into and growth throughout their professional life. Among the topics in ourinitial offering of this seminar course was one seminar on the basics of financial literacy andmanagement, which proved to be very popular and highly rated as to its perceived usefulness bythe students. As a result of student feedback, the seminar was expanded to two seminar periods.This led the author to ask the questions: (1) is there a need for financial literacy education

For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change

One of those strategies emphasizes how, through40 sustainable planning and transportation systems, engineers can design walkable, compact cities41 that will contribute to significant emission reductions. This becomes critical because although42 world cities are responsible for more than 80% of the gross domestic product and are key engines43 for development, they also consume over 75% of the energy produced worldwide and

We plan to adopt additional rules that can further encourage players to assumetheir special role.
