The Civil Engineering Education Summit 2019: Mapping a Future for Civil Engineering EducationIntroductionOver 200 civil engineering educators, practitioners, and guests convened in Dallas, Texas, inMay 2019 to consider the future – our future populations, engineering challenges presented bythose populations, and opportunities and challenges related to preparing civil engineers toaddress and meet those challenges. Participants at this Civil Engineering Education Summitconsidered visions of the future, examined current efforts by the profession and acrossuniversities to advance education in the context of those visions, and identified opportunities totransform the civil engineering educational

The 26 publications that did directly addressHC fell within a date range of 2001 to 2020, with the heaviest cluster (18) occurring in the pastfive years: There were 4 publications in 2015, 3 in 2016, 5 in 2018, 4 in 2019, and 2 in 2020,together accounting for the majority of all ASEE publications in this area.We read each of the 26 publications directly addressing HC and coded them according to thefollowing criteria: the role and context of HC in the analysis; whether the influence of HC onengineering education was described as primarily negative, positive, or neutral; and whether HCwas related to engineering ethics education (and, if so, how).

—somethingunexpected—thus showing the potential allure of an Engineers’ Conductorless Orchestra toexternal audiences. Specifically, this student conductorless orchestra brought a New Yorkaudience to its feet. Though it was not OCO’s best 2017 concert, the performance connectedviscerally and crossed the footlights. As has repeatedly been observed, students talented in math, science, and engineering areoften talented in music, suggesting that a viable musical presence within an engineeringcurriculum makes sense. A first approach towards introducing the conductorless orchestramodel to other schools will occur at the 2019 ASEE Zone 1 International Conference in Niagara 3Falls, New York.

PI/mentor teams were reminded of the program’s goals to achieve adiverse cohort, with more than 50% of participants coming from primarily undergraduateinstitutions. Each PI/mentor team reviewed their small batch of applications and selected theirtop two choices. The REU Program Director then sent an offer to the selected candidate.For summers 2014-2019, we received an average of 200 completed applications per year. Wereceived fewer - 66 - in 2013, likely due to the compressed recruitment timeframe in the firstyear of our first REU Site award.

Category 1homework has been administered electronically and as Mastery-based, while Category 2remained traditional. A concept inventory developed is used to assess Category 1 leveloutcomes. Results are compared between Fall 2019 and 2020. Results indicate statisticallyinsignificant differences due to small class size, but educationally significant results.

Electromechanical Systems Design Laboratory for the ETAC-ABET AccreditationAbstractIn the field of assessment in higher education, practitioners regularly mention two features as keyfor success at implementing a sustainable assessment model, i) it has to be faculty-driven, and ii)it has to become part of the curriculum. This paper describes an assessment model incorporatingthese features. The model was developed and implemented for assessing both the ETAC-ABETProgram Criteria for an associate degree in Electromechanical Engineering Technology programand the new ETAC-ABET (2019-2020) student outcome (2), which regards students' ability todesign systems, components, or processes for well-defined engineering technology problemsappropriate to the discipline
