coursetaught as a general education requirement and required for all students [16]. In the article,‘Planning for Computer Literacy’, Roger W. Haigh [10] discusses how colleges and universitieswould need to decide what computer literacy skills students would need for their careers andpersonal lives. Since then, universities have offered a variety of general education courses incomputer literacy and programming. Some existing courses that are part of the core focus onhighly technical skills, while others are aimed at educating students more generally. Recently,there has been a call for an expansion of computer literacy to include cyber literacy, safety, andsecurity [21, 22, 24]. Universities have begun to offer courses in cybersecurity

measures of engineering task self-efficacy (ETSE), followed by their female counterparts. These results add evidence to theassertion that women often possess lower self-efficacy compared to their male peers [16-20],with concrete professional implications. Awareness of these results is important for engineeringeducators and administrators when interacting with diverse students in the classroom, inmentoring scenarios, and in planning support activities. Drawing from Bandura’s sources of self-efficacy [4], engineering educators can be intentional about designing mastery experiences,providing explicit social encouragement, and creating environments that foster a positiveinterpretation of somatic and emotional responses, particularly for URM and women

Furthermore, other sciencessuch as biology, chemistry, and physics are taught as subjects in elementary through high schoolwhereas engineering traditionally is not [3]. This only erodes engineering’s pull even more.Survey of StudentsFollowing up on the research noted above, it was decided to evaluate the specific population ofstudents at the school being studied in these outreach efforts. The results of this survey havefurther informed the introductory engineering activities planned for the students. In the fall of2017, a brief survey was completed

our graduating students satisfy some minimum requirement for each ofthese attributes. The primary thing the CEAB seeks when they visit is a “continual improvement” plan. Seebelow:So, our Dean set up a task force in charge of overseeing the collection of the data, the analysis of the data, andthen the curriculum improvement plans that result from this analysis. These curriculum improvement planswere the primary deliverable for our CEAB visit. The faculty of ENCS needed to demonstrate not only that wehave a system in place to collect this data, but that we have a robust feedback loop in place that results indemonstrable changes (improvements hopefully) to actual curricula. This was our deliverable.6 The reader will have already noticed

With the aid of anorganization’s BMC, a single graphic representation, one can readily gain an understanding of theunderlying business, including its relationships, infrastructure, strategies, etc., be it a start-upentrepreneur or the most senior executive. Many existing canvas tools entail complex associationsamong its various elements and are thus more suitable for veteran entrepreneurs and advanceddesigners [23],[24].

This presents an opportunity to compare the communication skills of students whotook the technical communications course with those who did not. We plan to study students’habits while writing technical reports by analyzing their process of writing and their finalproduct, and from there draw conclusions about their communication skills. We hypothesize thata dedicated technical communications course is effective at developing communications skillsamong engineering students, and

The use of any technology is defined by thosewho use that technology [2]–[7], and user acceptance strongly influences which technologiesbecome widely adopted [7]–[10].

The greatest gap, althoughstill considered minor, exists between the CEBOK3 and the CEPC. The CEPC only requirescivil engineers to explain the basic concepts of leadership, which is cognitively below the abilityto apply leadership, and does not include diversity and inclusion. The CEBOK3 also includesthe affective domain, which requires the civil engineer to demonstrate the skills to internalize orvalue the human experience.
