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

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.

Social justice was also made a center point for the 2021Biden Infrastructure plan, which promised “40% of the benefits of climate and cleaninfrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities” [11]. These initiatives further the pushfor engineers to consider how engineering projects can serve both the technical requirementsthey are designed for and the communities they are built in.Understanding the social aspects has traditionally come with professional experience; however,giving engineering students an understanding of the social elements during their time in schoolcan encourage early development and implementation of this understanding [9].

Work-life balance (WLB) considerations were found to be very important to currentU.S. civil engineering students (e.g., “I don’t want to spend an excessive number of hours at myjob”) [7]. Concerns about WLB impact STEM students’ planned career trajectories, includingthoughts about leaving STEM [8].

Since about 60% of the respondents reported that the remote learning was notconducive for their learning, departments may plan a period of transition to support students andhelp them develop good study habits in this online setting. This finding opens the opportunity toidentify courses that programs could deliver fully or partially online, as well the opportunity tooffer some of the courses with multiple sections in different delivery modes (fully remote, in-person, or Hyflex). 5
