The student researcher was also responsible for attending three professional seminars,two business meetings and exercises involving ethical decision making in professional practice.The professional seminars provided insight to the current trends in civil engineering research anddesign. The business meetings helped the student build a network by establishing earlyrelationships with professional engineers and with companies that are more geared towards thetopics in which the student is interested. All of these requirements have helped the studentrecognize importance of punctuality, participation, communication skills and teamwork inprofessional practice.

These latter students, therefore, would benefitfrom engineering instruction that values their out-of-school practices and uses them as a bridgeto the formal practices of engineering so that students do not feel like engineering is a “foreign”discipline that is “not me.” 21Theoretical Perspectives of Funds of KnowledgeIn previous educational literature, the construct of “funds of knowledge” has served as a bridgethat connects students’ household and peer bodies of knowledge with the formal bodies ofknowledge learned in school. Authors have used the term “funds of knowledge” to describe thecultural knowledge and skills present in students’ households and communities, which includeknowledge related to agriculture, health, workplace skills, ethics

research projects , and holding part-timejobs on campus lead to increased retention and the likelihood of interaction with fellow students,faculty, and staff whereas off-campus activities and decentralized activities such as off-campusjobs decrease this involvement 43. The proximity to campus also is negatively correlated withcritical interactions. Students who drive to campus have less interaction with faculty (especiallyseniors) and do not take advantage of co-curricular activities, community service, andinternships. Therefore, students who tend to have a centralized community tend to see gains inpersonal and social competence associated with ethical development, appreciation for diversity,understanding of self, and citizenship 44.MethodsA
