For instance:  I interned with the product development team during summer 2016.  I was asked to update the testing manual for the new product line, to be released in early 2018, and generated over 5,000 test cases during the three month summer internship.  I completed eight hours of training in professional ethics and standards as part of the internship program, and participated in a day-long seminar on advanced manufacturing techniques.Research Experience: consider both paid and volunteer experiences, as well as substantialresearch projects completed as part of your technical

Organization’s Lisa Tabor Award for Community Service. Using deep insights from a fourteen-year industry career and her strengths as a systems thinker, she is now developing and disseminating empirically-grounded models and strategies for improved human competence, motivation, and learning as it relates to the civil engineering profession and the construction industry. She is a discipline-based education researcher who passionately pursues research to develop an agile, ethical, diverse construction workforce enabled to lead, design, and build sustainable, intelligent infrastructure. Her mission is to transform the construction workforce and sustain change. To this end, she undertakes research that enables her to influence

mentioned, to be due to large amounts of focus in courses outside of the“pure” engineering courses of math and science, and the integration of multiple areas ofstudy into one that is typically considered difficult. Almost any fundamental course in thefield of engineering requires knowledge of math, science, coding, and ethical restraints,proper handling of which in turn begs a deeper understanding than the surface-level,simplified “sum of its parts.” The LL program’s intended design was to adjoin theseseemingly separate modes of thinking, and present math and science in the context ofengineering, and vice versa. Integrating active learning as well as shifted contexts of thestandard topics in core and first-year engineering courses was designed to
