For thearchitectural engineering student, the collaboration with architectural engineering faculty andwith practicing professionals gives them a connection with their major in their first year of thecurriculum, and allows them to realize the importance of the role of structural systems in thearchitectural design process.References Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Criteria For Accrediting Engineering Programs, ABET, 2015.

Choice is a powerfulinstrument, allowing students with these aspirations to select courses that meet their goals.Increasingly, institutions have a range of minors and certificates available for students at theinterface between society and technology. This approach, however, may allow students withvirtually no interest or awareness of societal context to avoid becoming educated on these issues.The proposed changes in the ABET EAC accreditation requirements appear to lower theminimum bar for engineering educational outcomes in this regard.35-36 Increasing the socialscience and humanities (SSH) requirements for students may help achieve these aims. Manyinstitutions have a common core, which requires that students take SSH electives with

Prior to joining Gannon, he had been involved in various research and development projects in industry and
issues.[8] As increasing technology allows engineers to learn more about existing andemerging problems, it also provides opportunities to develop solutions like never before.[9]Consequently, engineers must be successful in idea generation[8, 10] by fully exploring solutionspaces through the generation of multiple and diverse ideas[11]. Considering a wide spectrum ofideas at the front end of the design process is important in order to consider strong aspects ofconcepts to develop while filtering out other aspects. Generating diverse ideas to consider requiresdivergent thinking,[4, 12] while engineering methods focus on converging on a single solution.While experienced designers appear to use strategies in their idea generation process[13, 14

student tuition, therehas been growing concern with attracting and retaining students to traditional programs. This isespecially true in engineering, which requires students to have an arsenal of advancedmathematical and analytical skills and a broad background in science and technology [1].Unfortunately, many of the students who enroll in engineering programs may find themselvessignificantly unprepared for the academic rigors and personal challenges of collegiate life. Inresponse, educators have sought to identify key factors that aid not only in the retention ofstudents, but also maximize the resources necessary to guide those students to successful degreecompletion.One area of investigation has focused on the characteristics of the student
, engineering graduate degrees are increasingly valued by various industriesfor skills like conducting research and integrating the newest engineering technologies (Brown &Linden, 2008). However, researchers have reported that the completion rate for U.S. engineeringgraduate degrees has held steady at just 50% for the past several decades despite consistentefforts to increase enrollment and retention of engineering graduate students (Bowen &Rudenstine, 1992; Nerad & Cerny, 1993). Identity has emerged as a relatively new lens forstudying graduate student retention.Researchers have reported that the strength of graduate students’ identities increased with theircompetency levels as well as their professional and academic motivation (Alexander

However, the process of professional formation in engineering tends to leadto engineers who dislike leadership, with a perception that engineers solve problems for others,not identify problems to solve themselves.
