each year were surveyed. Participants were also asked for their CEE preferencessuch as which types of courses (technical, management, EH&S, legal, other) they would prefermore of and what was their preferred delivery format (face to face, hybrid, online). Thisinformation should be invaluable to those developing curricula and designing and deliveringcontinuing professional development for engineers.IntroductionThe need for CEE has been well-documented [1]. Continuing education is critical for workingengineers because of the breadth of processes and equipment they design and use and because ofrapid changes in technology [2]. For example, plant engineers take courses to learn how tooperate different types of equipment specific to their
emerging technology in the classroom to prepare the next generation of engineers and other students for the challenges of the future. Jeff was honored in 2014 with an Outstanding Projects and Leaders Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Society of Civil Engineers. He holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from University of Cincinnati, master’s and doctoral degrees from Purdue University, and is a registered professional engineer in Wisconsin. Jeff grew up in a construction family where his father ran the field operations for a small regional con- tractor in northeast Ohio. He spent his youth working in construction, learning the value of hard work, integrity, organization, and leadership. He has
Consultant for the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT). His past experiences include having been a middle school science teacher, Director of Academic and Instructional Support for the Arizona Department of Education, a research scientist for the Center for Research on Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (CRESMET), and an evaluator for several NSF projects. His first research strand concentrates on the relationship between educational policy and STEM education. His second research strand focuses on studying STEM classroom interactions and subsequent effects on student understanding. He is a co- developer of the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) and his work
Engineering at Arizona State University. He teaches in the areas of introductory materials engineering, polymers and composites, and capstone design. His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, mis- conceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per
