Additionally, for civil engineeringcurriculum, interdisciplinary among all engineering disciplines is needed. For instance, a designmethodology combines the answers to all the demand of the structure, an integrated designproject7. Moreover, other professions such as social, environmental and economic issues shouldbe included8.

U.S. GDP is attributable to advancements in science and technology. This despite the fact that less than 5 percent of the U.S. workforce is composed of scientists and engineers, thereby suggesting that each one percent of the workforce engaged in those professions accounts for something like 15 percent of the growth in GDP. A truly remarkable multiplier.” - Norm Augustine (Augustine, 2013)In Spring 2015 a workshop was held at the National Academy of Engineering designed to buildcapacity for the engineering education research community to better communicate with a broadspectrum of policy makers.

examples in the classroom improves studentinvolvement and enhances the learning experience. In that regard, the electrical engineeringcurriculum has used simulations to assist student learning for more than two decades. A strongargument for the use of circuit simulators in the classroom can be found in [3], where the authorsargue the superiority of the ‘learn by doing” approach to teaching circuit analysis. A more recentexample of this teaching paradigm can be found in [4] where circuit simulation software iscombined with Mathcad to permit student interactive experimentation.Incorporation of projects into lecture classes provides an added mechanism to align thecurriculum with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET

results reported herein suggest that implementing PBL is advantageous, at least on thetime-scale of students’ immediate participation in the course, it is also necessary to evaluate howstudents’ engagement in PBL impacts their future coursework. Moreover, as PBL continues togain traction in engineering education, it will become necessary to determine the extent to whichit prepares students for professional practice. If PBL can implemented such that it shrinks thegap between students’ conception of school knowledge and professional knowledge, it is likelythat implementing PBL more broadly can better equip students for careers in engineering.ReferencesAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

One of the factors proven to have a strong effect whenusing active learning
workplace.Thirty years of social science research have documented that although explicit bias againstwomen and other under-represented groups is far less common today, subtle (or implicit) biasremains rampant. Such studies typically ask subjects to rate identical resumes with a man’s orwoman’s name or names associated with different racial groups. These studies have documentedthe same patterns of racial and gender bias over and over again.Women and people of color are rated unfavorably by potential employers even if they haveidentical resumes with their male or white counterparts. For instance, Moss-Racusin et al. (2012)asked professors in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to rate theresumes for a job as a lab manager and found that

Also, the program is tailored toengineering research objectives that include elements of innovation and technology development,as opposed to discovery (in the natural sciences). Rather than spending extensive periods in aformal teaching laboratory, the students often spend time in the engineering makerspace and/or inthe research labs of their faculty mentors. Research projects are conducted in small teams,generally 2-4 students per team, and students are expected to spend approximately 5 hours/weekon their research—enough time to make steady progress on their project but not
