Not only would thishelp engineers better communicate to others the benefits engineering provides, something theCommittee on the Engineer of 2020 also says is necessary, we, as instructors, could begin theconversation. To accomplish this objective we required numerous writing assignments, requiredoral presentations, and ensured that there was ample class discussion. For the second version ofthe course we added the requirement that each student read a national newspaper on a regularbasis and, at some point of their choosing in the semester, provide a copy of an article they readrelated to engineering and public policy and their analysis of the article and the policy issue.Course DesignAlthough the course was designed to meet the

assessments intended for the public (which many are). Learning how peer review is done, and the role of critical feedback, is a critical piece of the standard process. This means both writing peer reviews and reading/ comprehending existing reviews.Study MethodThe research involved study over a 2 year period. We asked faculty who taught a full-semesterlife cycle assessment course that used our textbook as a resource to participate and eleven facultyat different institutions volunteered. These institutions included eight doctoral, highest researchlevel universities, and one each of doctoral - higher research, doctoral - moderate research, andmasters institutions. The courses included mostly courses for graduate students but

This is achievedthrough group projects, presentations, class debates, and peer reviews including a peer-review ofvideotaped presentations. To enhance the quality of these presentations and

Thegoals and procedures of the workshop group are described elsewhere [10].RecommendationsAlthough individuals write the funding proposals for their projects, it is their home institutionsthat must account for the education and research activities of their faculty and staff, institutionsthat develop policies that support or impede diversification efforts, and institutions that are morelikely to have (and be able to track over time periods that exceed those of individual grants moreeasily than would an individual PI) data on the demographic characteristics of those involved infunded projects.

However, should the faculty member choose to revert tohis/her original timeline, this would be allowed. For this, the employee must notify his/hersupervisor in writing by March 30 of the academic year prior to the original tenure year. “The Benefits and Challenges of a Statewide ApproachThe statewide approach has a number of advantages, most specifically ● Key players at the top can encourage cooperation across the institution ● System focus provides a system-level platform to bring up issues of equity and fairness ● Project data

While it would have been preferredfor the students to use more academic formats for their sources, such as those that undergo peerreview and acceptance prior to coming out in print, it is nearly impossible to have it both waysfor such a recent event. Such recent events have not yet received the scrutiny or have not beenstudied long enough to have successfully generated extensive peer reviewed literature.Assessment Method (including Rubrics)The assessment of the project was accomplished using several inputs for both the written workand the oral presentation.

A second significant assumption is that the theory of human capital doesnot explicitly model the intellectual ability, emotional commitment, or educational quality at theindividual level. Again, the influence of some of these determinants on the value of humancapital and economic value added of engineering education may be studied, but is not theprimary focus of the current work.Analysis MethodologySalary Data: Salary data was derived from the Payscale’s database, the world's largest store ofindividual employee compensation profiles.
