They continue to popup on lists of what students shouldbe able to do to be successful in their careers including recent research by Project Lead the Way[5] and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [6].The school district shared their experience with us. The class is within their Career andTechnology Education pathway. Ultimately, they want all 8th graders in the district to take thisclass. During their pilot program, the teachers followed a design curriculum based on anenvironmental engineering project. The students were supposed to learn about an environmentalissue.

higher levels of career advancement[4] andsurveys indicate that practicing engineers spend a large portion of their work time writing orspeaking; however, feedback from industry indicates a lack of communication skills in manyengineering graduates.[5] Therefore, so-called “soft” skills, recently redefined as “professional”skills, need to be learned within the engineering curricula and be transferable to the engineeringworkforce. As expected, communication is recognized as a core transferable professionalskill,[2] which is reflected in current ABET criteria[6] and publications such as The engineer of2020,[7] prompting pedagogical changes in engineering curricula.[8, 9] At the author’sinstitution, feedback from alumni surveys and the departmental

sessions.ConclusionsA current trend in engineering education is to incorporate a multidisciplinary educationalexperience into the curriculum. For example, the UF Environmental Engineering programimplemented curriculum changes in 2020 to include interdisciplinary courses where studentsbuild knowledge and relevant skills in topics that bridge disciplines. But students must still learnthe basics of engineering and be proficient in many areas. The FE exam is a tool that departmentscan use to evaluate their curriculum and adjust as necessary to ensure their students are ready forprofessional careers. Although the FE exam has its limitations in that it is not a comprehensiveassessment of an engineering education, it is currently the only universal assessment

The Introduction to Engineeringcourse is broken into three modules, each consisting of 14 sections. Because the program aspiresto preview what students can expect to learn in each major and the possible career paths thatcould follow, students are encouraged to explore modules that align with their interests or thatfall outside of their previous experiences.While the design of each course section reflects the expertise and interests of the individualinstructor who leads it, most sections include problem-based learning opportunities and someform of

The numbers mentioned above were 4.9 millionexams and 2.7 students in 2017. Among the various STEM courses offered in high schools,mathematic courses such as calculus and statistics are the most popular courses students take. Withthe increase in these programs, it is worth revisiting the potential benefits they may have onstudents' career and academic future. However, with the wide spread of AP courses there arestudents who do not have access to AP courses due to their location.The potential benefits of AP courses rise the concern of the equity and access of these courses.Students

First, in anindependent study, the student usually initiates the creation of the project to explore a topic ofmutual interest with a faculty member. At smaller teaching-focused institutions, many advancedtechnical topics in a student’s major are not covered in-depth and some students would like moreexperience in a particular area out of pure interest or to prepare themselves for a future career inthat field.

Does this model adapt to community needs and individual faculty career needs?• Will a design systems thinking approach support the community development of a sustainable model for faculty development that thrives outside of the funding organization?This project is ongoing
