This, in turn, trains civil engineering students to be moreconscious of the needs of their clients and the community in their careers. This paper discusses how AVs were integrated into a geometric design class for upperclassmenand graduate students in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois througha Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. The aim of the study is to discuss both changesto existing standards recommended by them as well as the reasoning behind it. Additionally, theeffectiveness of implementing this approach by building multi-disciplinary teams will be

It is important to keep a sense of humorin this discussion and the facilitator to be comfortable with hearing untrue or unfair stereotypesbased on their appearance. By keeping it light and laughing or agreeing with the assumptions,students feel able to be more honest in their biases about the facilitator. This kind of discussionmay be more difficult for students to have with an authority figure and so faculty may need to bemindful of this as they are preparing for such a discussion.

described in [11] is a single semester course with two main phases. The firstphase consists of defining the project and selecting a few possible design concepts, while thesecond phase is for students to build and test prototypes to meet the project requirements. Thereis only one design review, which takes place in between these design phases. The review is heldbetween the team, an advisory committee (consisting of two faculty members, a non-facultymember, and possibly a graduate student), and the client. Details of this review were notelaborated upon, but it was noted that there were weekly meetings with the advisory committeeto discuss progress and deliver feedback.

(Although thiswas a common observation, a single respondent felt that BS classes had “more camaraderie” thanAB classes.) Another response described the effect of different classroom styles on the student:“In BS classes, my thinking was myopic, and I was focused on simply absorbing the curriculum.In AB classes, I felt much more curious and open-minded.”Each of these responses related to an aspect of the “Faculty/Classes in Engineering Studies,”suggesting that a strength of the program is its faculty members and the classroom environmentsand experiences they facilitate.

Teacher preparation, until most recently, did not include the integrated subjects ofSTEM, which was not only true at the 7-12 grade levels, but especially true at the elementaryand early childhood levels. The lack of effective teacher training for STEM content and theNGSS negatively impacts K-12 students as they lack positive engaging hands-on experiences inSTEM education that is very motivational.
