In 2016about 45% of freshmen indicated they planned to major in an S&E field (up from about 8% in2000); [1]. While the number of degrees awarded in the STEM fields has increased steadily inthe past 10 years, only 16% of bachelor’s degrees awarded were engineering degrees. Best practices (i.e

The Electrical, Computer, and Industrial & Systems Engineering programs wereall reaccredited by ABET in 2018. The Computer Science programs were transferred to the School ofBusiness in the spring of 2018, resulting in the renaming of the Liberty University School ofEngineering (LUSE).

The following is the problem statement given to the students:Joe Miner has recently purchased an older building for his manufacturing business. He plans onbringing a lot of new equipment into the second floor of his building which will cause higherloads on the beams. Since the building is so old, the plans are hard to read and do not state whattype of material is used or the material properties of the beams.

These materials areobviously easy to convert into alcohol. Another category of materials under intense investigationis the use of plant waste material for conversion to ethanol. The advantage of this second type ofmaterial is that you are not pitting the future production of energy against the future productionof food. As fresh water and available agricultural land become more limited using plant waste toproduce fuel seems like a sustainable solution to the overall energy production plan for cities. Adisadvantage of using these plant-based wastes is that they are high in cellulose

Though the state hadnot adopted the NGSS, the state’s science academic standards included engineering standards, soelementary teachers were expected to include engineering instruction in their classrooms.This study used a comparative case study design [20] and semi-structured interviews to examinestudents’ conceptions of engineering.
