paper is to examine a collaboration between secondary (high school)and post-secondary (college or university) education institutions and construction industryprofessionals aimed at boosting the construction workforce. The paper seeks to address theshortage of skilled workers in construction and to drive an increase in the construction workforceby connecting faculty and industry to provide students with practical, real-world experience andto ensure that the skills they learn are relevant and in-demand in the industry. Wyoming added5,672 jobs in 2018, with the construction industry accounting for more than half of the increase.This positive feat may be unsustainable going forward due to a projected decrease in high schoolgraduates between 2020

This NSF PFE: RIEF project examines a unique experiencewhere a student-faculty-industry integrated community is created to help bridge the gap betweenindustry needs and the competencies developed within chemical engineering programs.The project's main goal is to better understand how implementing contemporary industryproblems into one of the sophomore chemical engineering courses impacts students’ engineeringidentity formation and self-efficacy development. To analyze the impacts of the intervention, thisproject employs design-based research (DBR) approach to guide the development,implementation, and evaluation of materials and

Through biweekly meetings, participants in CCB build connections withfreshman CEEC/CM peers, upper level CEEC/CM undergraduate students, CEEC graduatestudents, and CEEC/CM faculty. Participants also engage in the engineering design process andcompete in a national engineering design challenge geared toward freshman and sophomorestudents.This paper describes the first one-and-three-quarter years of CCB implementation of a five-yeargrant.

Project management is a field that has been studiedextensively but it is usually applied to large scale projects with well-defined product deliverables(e.g. software or hardware systems). We argue that the principles of project management can bereused and applied to a process where the deliverable or end product is less tangible, but thestakes are as high – the successful attainment of ABET accreditation status. One of the most challenging aspects of establishing and forming a program that is ready foraccreditation is faculty buy-in. Take for example one of the most important areas of programcontinuous

design processskills are not unlike decision making skills employed in real-life. However, describingengineering to pre-college students in these foreign terms may be intimidating2 which mayinhibit students from pursuing engineering in college. Therefore, there is a need to advertiseengineering for what it is: implemented problem solving.Engineers are natural problem solvers and seek challenge. Allowing novice engineers (pre-college students) to practice and develop their problem solving skills through design allows themto connect concept with implementation and verification thereby enhancing understanding andinterest while reducing apprehension to “engineering”. As students achieve success in smalldesign projects, their confidence is increased3

energy measurements and equipment efficiency. The Annual Energy Outlook 2004 (AEO2004) with projections to 2025 [2,3] presents acritical review of energy use of USA in the residential, commercial, industrial, transportationsectors for the period 1970 - 2025. The graphs from AEO2004 forecast an increase in energyconsumption in most sectors, and that primary energy use will exceed 136 quadrillion Btu peryear by 2025, 40 percent higher than the 2002 level. However, the forecast indicates that theincrease can stabilize as more efficient energy generation and consumption technologies offsetthe demand for more energy. Arkansas’s per capita energy use is similar to other states, with itsenergy use and savings dependent on the population and
