. Shirley Ann Jackson [4] noted that “[s]ince that time, there has beencontinuing concern that engineering education does not sufficiently incorporate liberal studies…As engineering and the technological revolution continue to transform our world, we must assurethat those who steer these changes understand the totality of the human condition, and that bringsus back to the liberal arts.” The chorus of calls for change has included soul-searching reportssuch as that by Grinter (1955) [5], which was soon overwhelmed by the urgency of Sputnik andthe Space Race insisting on the primacy of purely technical competence, and Olmsted [6].Olmsted’s 1968 ASEE Report Liberal Learning for the Engineer praised a few exemplarystudent-driven, socially
. This would reduce institutionalbias, especially if the grading is done through a ‘double-blind’ process. Additionally, responsesfrom all participating institutions can be reviewed by a single (or small group of) ‘knowledgeexpert(s)’ who are not implementing the instrument at their own institution. This latter strategyplaces a higher level of consistency in grading and providing increased reliability in theinterpretation of results, though they may come from variable sources.In undergraduate geotechnical engineering courses, future research may be needed on bias andprecision in instructor grading on high-stakes assessments such as examinations. Ultimately, thegoal is to work towards reducing bias and increasing precision in instructor grading

established by the United Nations in 2015.Students had to identify a firm on which to base their project, and then determine which of the17 goals would be most relevant and appropriate for their firm to support, based on its context.This was intentionally open-ended, and could include, for example, the firm’s environmental,social, and economic impacts, sphere of influence, stakeholder interests, and how the firmcould affect or be affected by the issue(s) related to each goal. Students worked in small teams to identify and contextualize the problem associatedwith the selected goal, and then to develop a set of proposed objectives, targets, and actionsfor the firm to contribute to the global goal over the next five years, and present the
semester ifthey plan to work in the vacuum industry or to enhance their skillset in this area. However, theonly way vacuum course(s) can currently be incorporated into the EET program is as technicalelective course(s) taken during the fourth semester. A result of this mis-alignment in sequencingbetween institutions was that some parts of the Introduction to Vacuum Technology course weretoo rudimentary for fourth semester students. As a result, the EET department has since maderevisions to the program that allow for one technical elective course during the third semester.This will allow students to take the introductory vacuum course during third semester and one ortwo advanced vacuum courses during the fourth semester. This will also allow for the
