As these topics are covered, it is helpful to keep in mind that questions wereframed in order to relate each topic to overall job satisfaction and inclination to remain part ofthe structural engineering work force.Pay and compensation The survey did not raise a concern for unequal pay for equal work for a majority ofsurvey respondents. Reference chart below. As can be seen, both men and women show equalpay upon entering the profession. As years of experience grow, the pay gap tends to widen, withmen earning more than women. However, survey evaluators found that at all levels except forPrincipal, the gap is not statistically significant and can be explained by secondary factors. Thereport gives

leading major, complexprojects who have had their own moments of “This is it. This is how I (or my project/career)end.” What can we as engineering educators do to best equip our students to prepare for thosemoments and challenges, and have the knowledge, resolve, and adaptability to solve enoughproblems to get their projects home?This paper explores that challenge and some related lessons that we, the authors, have learnedand which we seek to continue to explore with like-minded educators and practitioners. Our goalis to find how best to prepare project managers that have both the deep knowledge and honedadaptability to navigate their projects and teams through tough, challenging crises that they arecertain to experience. We don’t pretend to have

In the summer of 2014, it was decided todo an evaluation of the situation and either terminate this collaborative effort orsignificantly change the approach.The Evaluation and FindingsIn our 2014 ASEE paper it was stated that to some individuals a “cultural chasm” appearsto exist between the academic world and the professional engineering environment, inthat often employers that hire recent engineering college graduates perceive that thosegraduates have not been properly prepared for the engineering profession. With thisthought in mind, it was decided to investigate whether we were mitigating or contributingto this phenomenon in the capstone projects – which are intended to emulate
