Since 2004, Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) has adopted PLTW as oneof their career and technology completer programs. PLTW engineering is established into morethan 2200 of their schools to include elementary through high school. As university affiliatedpartner, 30% of the engineering student population either took a PLTW class or completed thecareer pathway. Two core classes in the PLTW curriculum and pedagogy, Introduction to EngineeringDesign (IED) and Principles of Engineering (POE), provide heavy instruction, unintentionally,on spatial reasoning skills through activities such as 3D modeling and sketching and extensivereal

: “The steady integration of technology in our public infrastructures and lives will call for more involvement by engineers in the setting of public policy and in participation in the civic arena” (pg. 4). I can tell that NAE is describing engineers as possessing technical knowledge that isbecoming increasingly intertwined with society. This seems logical and is somewhat on trackwith my current perceptions of technological growth. As technology makes its way into morefacets of daily life, engineers should naturally be expected to engage deeper with society becausethey have the knowledge and responsibility to create and implement technological solutions. Then my thoughts shift to a place of self-reflection: As of now, I

First, there is noevidence of stand-alone civil engineering courses being offered on accessibility. A scan ofuniversity-level information and communication technology programs similarly found anabsence of separate courses dedicated to accessibility, which the authors concluded indicated alack of faculty interest, student interest, or perceived need for expertise on the topic [11]. Giventhe amount of coursework required in typical civil engineering undergraduate programs, theabsence of individual courses is not surprising. Both students and faculty are often resistant
