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.

Engineering educators are observing significant shifts in societal expectationsof the engineering profession to help address immediate and longer-term sustainable developmentchallenges. According to the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO),engineering plays a significant role in planning and building projects that preserve naturalresources, are cost-efficient, and support human and natural environments [2].

In addition to formal mentor training, opportunities to foster a community of practice withcurrent mentors and past mentor training participants (sage mentors) were provided. During theseinteractions, promising mentoring practices were shared to benefit the mentors and the different mentoringpopulations that the EFRI-REMs serve.

difficult to move those projects forward into the normal testingphase. Fortunately, we were able to anticipate this pending limitation and direct college funds topurchase standard quadcopter drone kits for almost every student (or pair of students who couldstill work together on the project). These kits allowed the students to independently conductflight planning and test flights with the autopilots. This technology is far easier with rotary wingdrone aircraft then with fixed wing aircraft. In the latter the aircraft cannot hover, so takeoffs,landings, and missions are far more difficult to program. Nonetheless, this helped students learnthe basic principles of programming drone missions.With no way for the students to test fly the fixed wing

This research also emphasized the importance of sustaining the perspectiveof seeing the “self as whole” and incorporating traditional teachings and lessons with what it meansto be an engineer or technologist. For example, Jaemie merged her identities as a Native Americanwoman engineer by being involved in outreach to fulfill her cultural values, as well as a way torestore balance in her life by returning home. Maintaining balance was necessary for the womento see themselves as whole by honoring all of their identities. Foster [26] highlighted how spacesin which the whole self can be recognized are to
