Civil engineers need experience both in the engineering and technology aspects oftheir chosen sub-discipline(s) as well as in common professional practice areas. Many of thecapabilities in these areas are attained primarily through engineering experience. The ASCEpolicy statement is presented below.

formal assessments. Several possible metrics are concept exams andmore consistent student surveys.Future WorkThe main focus of future work will be to develop a library of simple visual examples,specifically for the mathematics classroom, and to experiment with approaches to include studentreflection on their understanding as well as on their own learning styles. These modules easilyfall into the category of an active learning exercise, but additional assessment metrics, perhapswith more focus on the degree to which students recognize this type of approach as valid, areneeded.References[1] Bourn, R., and Baxter, S.

their specimens, a benchtop mechanical tester (MTestQuattro; ADMET,Inc., Norwood, MA, USA) was used by the students to deform their specimens in tension at afixed deformation rate of 0.5 mm/s until failure was observed. Engineering stress-strain curveswere constructed from the resulting data, and the students determined the Young’s modulus (E),yield stress (σy), and strain at failure (εf) for each specimen. A full list of materials, step-by-stepinstructions, discussion questions and a glossary of engineering terminology is publicallyavailable.8 While only one deformation rate is investigated here, activity extensions could beperformed to investigate the effect of rate on the deformation response.

for EE. To stay consistent with EE, ME will also be employed as a form ofpre-/post-assessment as well. Additionally, as students prepare to graduate we willperform semi-structured interviews, to understand how they used the labs and any gainsthey showed in learning outcomes. This will be new for both ME as well as EE.ConclusionsFrom the efforts at Colorado School of Mines, a number of conclusions can be drawn: § Makerspaces can successfully be established through both student and faculty led efforts. § Implementing hands-on projects throughout the curriculum will increase the number of students who start using the space/s and continue to use the space/s. § Establishing safety throughout several different

that the former includes professionalskills and competencies such as industrial engineering and management, communicationskills, ethics etc, whilst the latter focuses on preparing students for a future academic career.Serving all needsAfter five years of studies, a student following the system(s) described above could be entitledto three degrees. These degrees have slightly different learning goals. In order to award allthree degrees, the university needs to assess and assure that the learning goals are achieved.How can this be monitored, and is it even possible? Some previous publications [3, 4] suggestthat it is possible but requires a lot of effort in adapting program goals to course goals andensuring a high standard in the curriculum

By completing the project, students fulfilled several of thecourse goals, such as demonstrating an effective design process, generating multiple solutions,analyzing possible solutions, and seeing the design through to completion. They also gainedexposure to the IMRAD genre and were able to practice writing a technical description of theiroptimized WEC design and creating effective visuals for data presentation.References1 Dusseau, R.

individuals’qualities that add to a team’s assets in a social interaction, may be crucial at the initial stage ofteam creativity in determining the richness and quality of ideas available to the team.Teamology approachThe Teamology approach is used to help us form effective teams. Rather than take a subjectiveapproach to forming teams, Teamology uses a student’s personality type scores to classify theirdominant cognitive mode(s), or dominant way of thinking. The personality type scores are drawnfrom a Myers-Briggs-like test that assesses the four areas below:• How outwardly or inwardly focused a student is - Extraverted versus Introverted. 
• How a student takes in information – Sensing versus Intuition. 
• How a student makes decisions – Thinking versus

will be compared between the cohorts. Persistence inengineering is defined as either graduating from a major in the School of Engineering or beingcurrently enrolled in a major that is within the School.Analysis and ResultsIn order to statistically analyze the cohorts, persistence in engineering was given a value of 1while not persisting was given a value of 0. Students who did not persist in engineering eitherchanged their major or dropped out of SIUE entirely. Each cohort then has an array of 1’s and 0’srepresenting student persistence in engineering, which forms a Bernoulli distribution. Bernoullianalysis is based on the fraction of each group receiving a value of 1 and the fraction receiving avalue of 0.For each cohort, the fraction of

This fund is managed by a group of student leaders who receive funding througha portion of student fees. The BOLD Center also contributed funds to support the workshops, food,and other nominal program costs. For future years we have included a line item for the program inour next round of proposed funding through the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation.References[1] Figueroa, T., Hurtado, S.
