A comparison of students' performance under the traditional face-to-face learning mode and the new distance learning mode is conducted. Based on assessment results, we will evaluate the effectiveness of our current teaching methodology/plan developed

Students have theopportunity to see the significant impact of CEEs through field trips to public works, like damsmanaged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who plan, design, build, and operate locks anddams.Current undergraduate students have shared that we need to highlight more exciting andtechnologically-savvy opportunities within the field and share the opportunities to make a socialimpact if we want to attract more students from underrepresented communities to the field ofCEE rather than other engineering fields.

Interestingly, 8% said they neverplanned to enter engineering. Since they were able to select multiple responses, we don’t know how many of the womenwho were not interested in engineering after graduating with an engineering degree never planned to enter engineering.But clearly some women lost interest in engineering after starting school but before getting their first job in engineering.This lack of interest in engineering is something I think we need to consider more often when discussing how to retainmore women engineers.Source: N.

In addition, rural teachers indicated different priorities forprofessional development. Though teachers overall saw the greatest benefit fromprofessional development on lesson plans that incorporate engineering, rural teachersindicated an even higher benefit just from having access to an expert teacher inengineering.The lower confidence that we see may be indicative of the limited support, community,and resources available to teachers in rural areas who often have a more limited budgetand fewer colleagues to collaborate with. These results make a strong case for thecreation of a professional development program that targets

Help students complete a degree by receiving concurrent high school and college credit.On a much larger scale, the contribution of this research could not only help preserve theexisting engineering and technology
