, handling stress, etc. Service and Civic Responsibility: Engineering is a service profession. Engineers are charged to use their talents and gifts to solve problems that impact others. The performance and practice of engineering is an act of service. Understanding of Engineering Ethics: Engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineers are to hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public. Those whom engineers serve deserve nothing less. As one example, the competencies are also used in the required first-year seminar course, wherestudents create action plans and write goals to

These findings are augmented through national survey ofengineering faculty. The survey investigated faculty perceptions on the importance ofengineering leadership development and the manner faculty think these materials should beincorporated in engineering curricula. These perceptions are investigated with respect toparticipant’s backgrounds and experiences outside the academy.

Comments such as “give me your curriculum,” “tell me what I need todo,” and “never mind the why; just tell me how” are commonplace in our experiences ofcurricular culture change [8]. These requests elide the necessity of context-appropriateadaptation, an integral part of curricular culture change.In contrast, our second frame acknowledges learning and culture transfer as a process ofsupported practice, sensemaking, and growth.

Agrowing body of data supports the conclusion that active learning is indeed superior to thetraditional lecture format, both in terms of student retention and student performance(Natl.Acad.Sci, 2009; AAAS, 2011; PCAST, 2012; Singer, 2012). Recent efforts at ColoradoSchool of Mines to integrate biology into our engineering curriculum have led to a revisedfoundational biology course that has rigor and relevance for our engineering students. The movefrom traditional lecture to an active learning environment was key in our efforts to engage ourstudents, with the intent of improving our students’ comprehension of biology. Our course re-design involved a three-pronged approach in which we: (1) renovated a classroom to create astudio environment with wet

Even so, there are some courses that do and those should be carefully leveraged. With issues of sustainability and resiliency becoming better integrated throughout the civil engineering curriculum, there will be more natural opportunities for discussions of social, global and political and equity issues throughout the curriculum.
