It built on prior work developing failure casestudies for incorporation into engineering courses, with specific application to civil engineering,engineering mechanics, architectural engineering, civil engineering technology, and constructionmanagement.Failure case studies may be used in engineering courses to address technical topics as well asnon-technical topics, such as management, ethics, and professionalism. The authors havedeveloped a number of failure case studies for classroom use. Studies have been carried out overseveral semesters in order to assess the use of failure case studies in civil engineering

process exercised within and beyond the classroom and a vitalprofessional skill. Engineers, in particular, must adjust to rapidly evolving technologies andpractices that require continuous learning and adaptation long after their initial formal trainingand transition into their professional careers.Education research emphasizes the need for engineering students to hone these lifelonglearning skills. Effective learning requires them to adopt self-regulated learning strategies tosynthesize and apply knowledge, and evaluate problems using engineering principles effectively(Zimmerman, 2000). However, students often default to ineffective learning strategies such asrereading, highlighting, repetition, and rote memorization (Blasiman et al., 2017

However, few toolsexist to measure engineering identity and interest at the elementary school age.This project developed a survey instrument to measure engineering identity and interest inchildren in grades 3-6 (ages 8 to 12 years).

Through research experiences for undergraduates (REU)programs, NSF supports U.S. citizens and permanent resident students from institutions that maynot have graduate programs in an area to immerse them into research environment at a hostresearch university. Therefore, REU programs are aimed to increase participants’ awareness andinterest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM)fields.However, the recent data showed the continuing lack of diversity in engineering graduateprograms [1].
