For instance, the projects which include ethical, environmental, and politicalaspects of construction are divided into smaller pieces. The students’ work resulted in a deeperand more detailed investigation of the assigned topics than similar projects. In addition, thestudents will learn more from peers during the presentation by this method. Also, they practiceworking as a part of a larger team, which can be the entire class.An example is a project to understand the interdisciplinary nature of construction projects andencounter the students with logical

Utilizing engineering tools to analyze data and solve real-world problems is an important aspect of the course. Data analysis involved arrays, logical and relational operators, and graphing techniques for single or multiple datasets in Microsoft Office Excel. Basics of

Introduction to engineering (EGGN-100) at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF),is offered to first-year and undecided engineering majors every fall semester. Besides theobjectives mentioned earlier, one of the primary goals of this PBL course is to “introduceundecided freshman engineering students to major projects in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, andComputer Engineering projects so that students can make an informed choice about their major.”The course starts with an active introduction to the engineering profession, different engineeringdisciplines, engineering ethics, team building, and engineering

These were distributed throughout the 3-week period. The organizing faculty decided thatworking or retired engineers from the community and alumni from the COE would be invited tospeak individually or as group panelists about

Addingsustainability tasks into their proposed designs encourages the students to think about the largerimpact of their projects. Consideration of sustainability within the undergraduate capstone designis linked to professional ethics for all civil engineers, as noted in the BOK3: “striving to complywith the

In the Job Outlook 2019 Survey, employers ranked critical thinking, oral and writtencommunication, teamwork and collaboration skills, and professionalism/work ethic as more thanessential competencies in new hires [3].

Only certain types of smartness are recognized as valid for or pertinentto being a “good fit” for engineering [4], typically those associated with analytical ability. Thisnarrow construction of smartness in engineering negates other aspects of ability that are alsoimportant in engineering such as ethical reasoning, judgement in the face of uncertainty, or theability to collaborate and communicate on multidisciplinary teams [5]. Further, the constructionof smartness as success in math and science courses reflects majority (White, male, middle-class,etc.) values.
