civil breadth of the PE exam has fourteen out of 40 questions relevantto construction in the areas of site development, project planning, means/ methods, andconstructions codes totaling 35% of the breadth exam. When considering further the 40questions in a concentration area, other than construction, the required knowledge in constructionaccounts for approximately 18% of the whole exam. Inclusion of topics such as ethics andprofessional practice, engineering economics, environmental regulations, materials, earthwork,and volume computations in a construction course can significantly increase the percentagesreported above. The construction topics required by the National Council of Examiners forEngineering and Surveying are listed in Table A-4 of

multi-disciplinary approach to developing the skills and problem-solvingapproaches taken by data scientists, and subsequently to approaches to the training and educationof data scientists.One of the earliest undergraduate data science programs is discussed in Anderson et al. [5]. Theprogram identified the following eight high level topics for an undergraduate data scienceprogram: • Large data sets/streams • Databases • AI techniques • Software and algorithms • Information retrieval • Mathematics • Oral and written communication • Social, ethical, and legal issuesAn analysis of these topics resulted in 18 required courses (19 hours dedicated to computerscience topics, 26 hours dedicated to mathematics/statistics

various engineering concepts.The Technical Writing and Experimental Design encourages students to be writers, readers,reviewers and experimenters by providing them feedback at multiple stages of the experimentationand writing process, as well as iterative writing through peer review and grading of multiple paperrevisions. The course was created to follow a modular format, integrating a form of research orexperimentation paired with an appropriate writing or technical communication element, tointegrate both experimentation and documentation within a single module. Each module, learningobjective, and relationship to engineering career expectation is described as follows: • Essay: A formal research paper regarding ethical factors associated with

encouraging faculty to provide mentoringand providing opportunities for “real-life” applications [6]. Additional criteria are included toensure alignment of the experience with the student’s Grand Challenges theme area, and clearlydefine the expected effort and time commitment.Multidisciplinary CompetencyThe Multidisciplinary Competency focuses on the development of interdisciplinary perspectivesneeded to understand the global challenges facing society and to create effective engineeringsolutions. This includes understanding the connections between engineering and other areas suchas policy, economics, ethics, business, law, and human behavior. At ASU this competency maybe achieved through a combination of courses and experiences, so criteria have

, pains, challenges, mistakes, etc. of being human. A second goalin developing such narrative is to avoid explanation. Simply tell it. Force the students “into thestory” and give them the power to read between the lines. [6]Design case studies, ethical issues, and real-world problem statements are usually presented innarrative format, but not all engineering documents should be written as stories. Lab reports andproject reports are properly written in a passive third-person, and “Five measurements weremade of the field strength” is preferable to “We measured the field strength five times.”However, story format may be fitting in any section on personal contributions or reflections.Strategic use of stories in class can capture the interest of

(SLO). This data is collectedto assess student work for the following seven SLOs: • SLO 1: an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. • SLO 2: an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. • SLO 3: an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. • SLO 4: an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering

meet the demands of an ever-changing society. To meet suchchallenges, the educational system must also adapt to properly equip students with skills neededfor success.ABET, an accreditation agency for engineering programs, identifies that engineering curriculumsmust meet and educate students to be competent in a variety of outcomes that prepare graduatesfor professional practice [1]. Such outcomes and skills are listed under Criterion 3 of ABETwhich include but are not limited to: being efficient in identifying and solving complexproblems, producing effective solutions while considering influential factors, having effectivecommunication, recognizing ethical and professional responsibilities, functioningcollaboratively, drawing conclusions
