As instructors are asked by ABET to document more complicated student outcomes(e.g., engineering judgment and inclusive environment[s]) and by Gen Z students to create anengaging and applied learning environment, we will continue to unpack the lessons learnedthrough this project and share more broadly with the civil engineering educational community.References1.

ability.In the second year of the program (2018), the project team introduced a second measure, theRevised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (RMPFBT) [12]. First published in the 1930’s, thetest measures an individual's ability to manipulate two-dimensional objects in their mind and isoften used to assess spatial visualization skills in engineering students. Unlike the PSVT:R, theRMPFBT has two equivalent forms, which should reduce practice effects. In 2018 and 2021,form AA was given as the pre-test, and BB was given as the post-test. In 2019 and 2022, theforms were reversed (BB as the pre-test). As a paper-and-pencil test, the RMPFBT could not beadministered in 2020.Reliability refers to the stability of test scores over time and the internal
preferences and behaviors of students. Prior to the 1990’s, academic libraries weredesigned to maximize space for physical collections, a trend that changed with the introductionof digital collections. As more materials became available on-line, librarians began rethinkingthe use of their physical spaces to focus more on optimizing student learning experiences. As aresult, the shift in design occurred from individual study, book-centered library spaces to agroup-study learning environment [1].Generation Z (Gen Z) college students, those born from the late 1990’s to the early 2000’s,expect to have choices. When it comes to space, they want to have control of their choices [2].Controlling choices in the moment of need by the student is the definition

, influencesgoal and activity choices. Other researchers have focused on students’ awareness of specialized areas inengineering, such as nanotechnology. For example, Dyehouse et al.’s (2008) NanotechnologyAwareness Instrument examines two factors, Exposure and Motivation, impacting students’career interest and goals. Students’ exposure and motivation are measured by asking studentsabout the activities they engaged in related to nanotechnology. Dyehouse et al. (2008) defineExposure as the “activities that a student has actually completed” such as reading, watching andengaging in the topic (2008, p. 503). They define Motivation as “nano-related studies or workthat a student plans to do in the future” such as interest in reading, taking courses and

Algorithms CNNs were used as early as the 1990’s to automatically detect handwriting on checks[12]. CNNs are an iteration of artificial neural networks also called “backpropagation neuralnetworks” [13]. CNNs use “convolutional layers” that apply matrices (filters) of different valuescalled “weights” onto an image using a convolution operation. It is speculated that earlier layersin the neural network can identify low-level features such as edge gradients. With every newlayer

SEhad a positive correlation with OE and SS and a negative correlation with BR. OE waspositively correlated with SS, interests, and CG while negatively correlated with BR.

Since the FCY curriculum was implemented in Fall 2020, the faculty member(s) of each newly added course to the FCY curriculum gave a presentation to Dean, associate deans, department heads, and disciples in Fall 2021. They presented their evaluation of students’ attainment of each course objective and the mapped ABET student outcomes, an example is shown in the later section of this paper. Also, they presented samples of students’ projects and presentations. At the end of their presentation, they presented what went well and what did not since this was the first experience of the FCY curriculum. The disciples provided feedback to faculty members of the FCY during and after the presentation. Furthermore, the
