There arenumerous options for evaluation, outcomes, and approaches1,2,3. However, there are also limitedresources that can be dedicated to evaluation 2,4. In many cases, assessments are simplyconducted by determining whether a school or organization has any ethics training program4. If atraining

]Confluence of Licensure and EducationEngineers are generally perceived as being technologically savvy, smart, and reclusive, but notsociety’s leaders and communicators. The public’s misunderstanding of the engineeringprofession resonates with many aspiring engineering students who enter college with a widevariety of perceptions of the profession. [39] Given this general low level of comprehension by thepublic, it is no surprise that engineering students have a limited understanding of professionallicensure.Can the civil engineering profession depend on accredited engineering programs to providestudents with knowledge about licensure? The EAC-ABET civil engineering program criteriastates that “the program must demonstrate that faculty teaching

engineering, hypothesized that a mandatory first-year introductionto engineering course would likely improve the understanding and commitment of those studentsmost likely to complete their degrees, while encouraging students who were less likely tocomplete their degrees to leave their programs sooner. Ultimately, both groups reap the benefitsof such a course in the long term, developing realistic career goals early and more quicklygetting on a path to achieving them.For a first-year course to be most effective at improving student retention, it must provideinformation that is specifically relevant to its students. In some cases, that may require aconstantly changing curriculum that presents material on the cutting edge of technology or thatadapts to
