Many universities have included courses in sustainable engineering andindustrial ecology in their engineering/technology curriculum to better prepare tomorrow’sengineering professional. A unifying thread that runs through such courses is a “life cycle” basedholistic approach to product, process and infrastructure design. Application of

It has been admitting 20-24 students each year and has an 85 percentretention rate for all four years. The honors program attributes its success to a number ofspecific high impact practices including; 1. Assigning a honors faculty advisor; 2. A honorsstudent association responsible for social and academic activities; 3. Maintaining cohesion byplacing each cohort into nine honors courses in the first three years; 4. Providing honorseminar classes; and 5. Requiring two honors directed research projects. Together thesepractices provide students help in their acclimation and later

One of the strategies that can assist different disciplines inimplementing General Education SLGs is Course Coordination. Many disciplines, especially inscience and engineering go through accreditation processes. For instance, Computer EngineeringTechnology, is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).The disciplines that go through an accreditation process must comply with a set of standards. Inthe process of implementing Course Coordination SLGs in Computer Engineering Technology,we noticed that several of these standards were similar to the criteria used for accreditation.

In fall 2015, we developed new curriculum to promote inclusive engineeringidentities within first year engineering courses at a large public university. To assess the impactof the new curriculum, we used two previously developed scales: Appreciation of Cultural andEthnic Diversity scale (Price et al., 2011) and Science Identity survey (Chemers et al. 2010;Estrada et al., 2011) adapted for engineering. While these two scales addressed diversity broadlyand a more general engineering identity, the two scales did not

Buildingon the notion of lack of identification with the field of engineering (especially amongunderrepresented groups [34]), research indicates that freshmen are 1.5 times less likely to identifyas engineers compared with sophomores, juniors, or seniors [38], and a review of retentionresearch indicates that students with lower self-confidence and/or self-efficacy are more likely toleave engineering fields [14].

The traditional pipeline of K12 STEMteachers relies on collegiate level STEM majors (and minors) who pursue teaching certification.In order to provide an adequate pipeline of teachers capable of teaching CS concepts, the currentK12 teachers in the pipeline should have CS professional development (PD) opportunities. ThePDs should address the challenge facing today's teachers in how to incorporate CS concepts intoexisting curriculum in order to 1) enhance existing instruction, 2) provide relevant examples andcontextual

Therefore,engineering has the potential to provide an entry point for teaching science in new ways. Thisrenewed emphasis on the application of science through engineering, as well as the newapproach to teaching science will require science educators to adjust their thinking.Along with new possibilities offered by engineering, it important to remember that it adds thechallenge of understanding a new, and often-unfamiliar, content area. Research has shown thatmany K-12 teachers are resistant and feel unprepared to teach engineering due to a self-describedlack of understanding and confidence.10,11 Wendell et al.12 and Lee and Strobel11 also found
