Very often these averages are the basis forpublished advice on what choices should be made and for marketing materials for products andservices.IntroductionEngineering economy is often the only engineering course dealing with money. Nearly every textand course include some level of personal finance, as well they should. Class testing of materialhas demonstrated that students have a keen interest in personal finance examples because theycan identify with the topics [1].

U.S. are finally heading the many calls to include sociotechnicalthinking–grappling with issues of power, history, and culture–throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. While non-purely-technical topics have historically been relegated toseparate courses, universities are now working to integrate sociotechnical content in coursespreviously considered to be purely technical. Researchers have varying motivations for thisfocus, including to better prepare students for engineering practice, which is inherentlysociotechnical [1]; to increase the sense of belonging of historically excluded students, who aremore likely to be interested in the social aspects [2]; and to create better societal outcomes [3-5].Attempts to disrupt the social

In many cases,preparing a competent workforce is also widely seen as part of the university mission.The changing landscape of higher education funding has also no doubt had an impact. Asuniversities deal with cuts in public funding sources, collaborations with business and industryare often viewed as financially attractive, by both the university and the business. The universitymay receive funding to help deploy a project, and the business or industry can access theexpertise found on university campuses on a needs basis, as opposed to funding entire training orresearch departments within the organization itself [1].

This has resulted in many changes to civil engineering undergraduateprograms accredited by the ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC).One of the historical subdisciplines of civil engineering is structural engineering. At a university,this area commonly includes most of the introductory engineering mechanics coursework alongwith structural analysis and structural design courses. Many have noted that the field of structuralengineering has continued to become more complex and requires more advanced coursework,possibly even a graduate degree [1]-[2]; this sentiment aligns with other professions that are vitalto public welfare, such as medicine and law, where graduate education is the entry level [3].

A studyshows that women's participation in higher education in recent years has surpassed that of men[1]. However, this increase in enrollment by women in higher education does not lead to greaterwomen representation in leadership and decision-making positions. For example, in the field ofeducation, a study by Riquelme [2], found that the number of woman rectors at Chileanuniversities belonging to the Consortium of State Universities of Chile (CUECH, in its Spanishacronym) is only 16.7%. According to the data, these leadership positions are highly dominatedby men, meaning there is an overrepresentation of males in said positions. The presence of agender

Having low-cost or freealternatives for course textbooks helps give all students access to learning materials and canlower barriers such as affordability and retention [3], [4]. Such alternatives to traditionaltextbooks are considered Open Educational Resources (OER). OER can be comparable in qualityto traditional textbooks [5].

One was the U.S.-based Academic Pathways Studyconducted in the 2000s by the Center for Advancement of Engineering Education of theUniversity of Washington. The project investigated the experiences of engineeringundergraduates and early-career engineers, with a focus on four aspects of becoming anengineer—skills, identity, education, and workplace [3]. The other was the report“Understanding Educational and Career Pathways of Engineers” produced by U.S. NationalAcademy of Engineering in 2018 [4]. The report provides an informative
