tenured full professor. CSULB is a teaching-intensive institution and thus, he has taught classes at different levels from introduction to programming and data structures; to junior level classes in database design; senior level classes on database, web development, and senior projects; and finally to graduate classes in database systems. In 2014, Dr. Monge joined a team at Google that created NCWIT’s EngageCSEdu, an online living col- lection of peer-reviewed teaching instruments that use research-based techniques that retain and engage students, particularly effective in broadening participation in computing.

this program concluded, the authors determined to use whatthey had learned with local CCs to work with non-metropolitan CCs. The authors then received aone year NSF exploratory grant (#0836050) to work with three non-metropolitan CCs. Based onthis successful project, ASU was awarded a five-year STEP grant from NSF (#0856834) to workwith five non-metropolitan CCs, only one of which was within an hour’s drive of the university;most are about three hours distant. After the program was expanded out from Maricopa County,our acronym METS was defined to stand for “Motivated Engineering Transfer Students” with anunderstanding that computer science is included in the term “engineering.”Our “Motivated Engineering Transfers STEM Talen Expansion Program

The final exam was cumulative and had no take-homeportion, although students had previously completed a large, multi-week final project. Thoughdifficult to directly compare, in both offerings performance on the final projects were comparablewith most students meeting or exceeding expectations.ResultsAs Fig. 3 show, formatting of exams across the Fall 2016 offering without daily quizzes and theFall 2017 offering that included daily quizzes was similar. In 2016, the in-class portion of the firstexam had 35 questions that varied between multiple-choice style questions and open-responsesquestions. Similarly, the Fall 2017 offering’s first exam had 47

Figure 1-ii–iv show some views corresponding to these tasks in the FS case study.The municipal engineer is then tasked with designing a new water tower that provides adequatepressure at the base of the water tower throughout the day while not exceeding the maximumpressure rating imposed by the town’s old pipe network. The new water tower is also expected tomeet the minimum/maximum pressure constraints for both current and projected (1.5x) demand.Designing the new water tower that meets all the design requirements (minimum/maximumpressure at current and projected demands) involves

As part of a National ScienceFoundation Advanced Technological Education project, a group of high school teachers wasoffered the opportunity to work in advanced manufacturing labs with engineering faculty. Theseprojects included additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics, surface characterization of AMmetal parts, and surface alteration. The teachers were tasked with developing lesson plans whichincorporated the advanced manufacturing concepts that they had learned.As part of the assessment of the program, teachers were given pre- and post- research experiencesurveys

Other studies involving K-12 outreach do not address effectiveness of specificmaterials in engaging underrepresented students, but instead focus on general best practices,program development, or assessment [17-20]. Additionally, groundbreaking studies involvingbest practices in teaching engineering to K-12 students have not been within the context ofoutreach, but instead have focused on formal classroom teaching approaches in general such asproblem-, inquiry- and project-based approaches [21].

Professional codes of ethics and ABET requirements are sometimes applied, withsustainability introduced as a design constraint.3 In our experience, these professionalrequirements are often treated only in senior design projects, and then only as items on achecklist. Optional minor and certificate programs may exist for those engineering students whoare interested, but even here crucial tensions often go unexplored between definitions ofsustainability (between weak and strong sustainability4, 5, between “technological sustainability”and “ecological sustainability”6, between “eco-efficiency” and “eco-effectiveness”7, or betweensustainability and sustainable development8, 9, 10, 11) and even between areas of the triple bottomline.3 Missing, too, are

communication must be thoughtfully designed tohelp readers make meaning of data. Such visual design for readers requires our students tobecome metacognitive of their own experience as consumers of visual communication. Yet oftenengineering students are not prompted to think about or design visual data communication untilthey must present their own data, typically as part of a senior capstone project. Our students’ lackof experience leaves them without a solid foundation for critical thought about figures, and thuswith scant preparation to learn from the experience of creating and refining them. If capstonesare to be an opportunity to learn about visual communication rather than simply perform it,students are in need of a swift means to gain perspective

The DIT-2 is used to assessthe moral judgement of individuals when faced with ethical dilemmas.

Isolated acts that are perfectly benign and sustainable, can be unsustainablewhen aggregated. There is a scale effect of professional action; and professions need to look atthe aggregate effects of their action. The natural time and space scales imposed by naturalresources, transcending individual projects and actions, (as well as jurisdictions, lifetimes),imposes a professional burden – to channel individual actions toward sustainable relations with,common property resourcesviii.Lacking this responsibility, “no one is watching the store.” NAE and ASCE are asserting aprofessional role for engineering in
