Hence, students try to find contextualized workscenarios such as internships or co-ops, where they can be involved in a real project in acompany. This particular setting provides students with an understanding of the workenvironment and also brings benefits to industry and universities [5]. On one hand, industrydemands an integral formation of individuals that are competent in technical skills in their areaof discipline, but with elements that enable them socially, ethically and professionally. On theother hand, society requires answers to its

We educate these students to viewchallenges from an environmental perspective. These T-professionals of other disciplines whotake the environmental engineering sequence bridge the divide among disciplines that wouldotherwise be accomplished by environmental engineers. Examples of these contemporary issuesinclude addressing urgent vapor intrusion risk at a Naval base in California [22], characterizingthe potential risk of food irrigated with hydraulic fracturing flowback water [23], or mitigatingthe impacts of sea-level rise on a major economic port, like New York City [24].

Since the researcher was also the instructor as datawas collected although for different purposes, this poses a threat to validity theoretically,procedurally, communication-wise, pragmatically, and ethically[74-76]. From preliminary application, this engineering epistemic frame shows potential forrevealing skills in interactions and conversations that are expressed differently or less frequentlycaptured on traditional paper methods. Specifically, it has the potential to capture values orepistemology that are not currently assessed in K-12 students. Another advantage of thisengineering frame is that it

Larger increases in the number of bachelor’s degrees earned by women and distributionacross disciplines have remarkably changed gender diversity for a number of disciplines. Thisultimately produces some disciplines that are criticized for low participation of women andrelatively slow progress and others where an equivalent and declining participation of men garnersrelatively little attention or action.
