is concerning for many reasons. Stevens and collaborators point out that: “Students often have vague images of professional engineering work, and the images they do have are strongly colored by the experiences in their educational careers…As a result, students often ignore, discount, or simply do not see images of engineering that emphasize its nontechnical, noncalculative sides and its non-individual aspects” ([6], p. 120).Similarly, Jonassen also notes problems in the discrepancy between engineering problems solvedby students and practitioners: “Learning to solve classroom problems does not effectivelyprepare engineering graduates to solve workplace problems” ([7], pp. 103-104).

The beginning of the next class began with discussion ofsolutions from these assignments.Five types of assignments were available to students: concept questions, practice problems,homework problems, unit tests, and an advanced project. Concept questions were designed tohelp students learn to connect detailed course content with their outside experiences, othercourses in the curriculum, and their own career goals. Some of these questions asked students toreflect on and self-assess their own learning processes. Practice problems were similar tohomework and test problems. The advanced project was a group project that involved visiting alab to acquire EEG data during an “oddball” experiment and performing data

Any job that does not require creativity and innovation can be automated and done by robots. Are we training engineer robots? or are we training problem solvers? Creativity should be promoted in our profession as much as is reasonable. The smartest tend to be the most creative and if we shun that part of a young person's interest, we will lose that valuable talent to another profession. Civil engineering is being left out of the innovation centers that are becoming so popular on campuses and proving to be highly effective in expanding the learning opportunities for

Forexample, the problem rewrite assignment is a form of problem-based learning, a pedagogicalstrategy that others are using to teach SR and SJ [22]. Another promising strategy is usingcorporate social responsibility (CSR) as a tool in engineering ethics education, as a way ofpreparing students for “the CSR dimensions of their careers” and broadening studentsunderstanding of stakeholders, especially to include oppositional groups [23]. Nieusma andCieminski [24] suggest “a shift to ethics knowledge as ‘skills that must be practiced in order tobe learned’ [that] could fit nicely with the contemporary emphasis on active and problem-basedlearning approaches in

These skills willhelp our students in becoming better engineers and give them experience that can help them intheir future careers.

As Figure 4 indicates, many students will likely receive no disciplinary writinginstruction until their 3rd year of study. All of our students will be required to write at some pointin their undergraduate careers. However, considering the rate at which students place out of thefirst-year composition course and the lack of writing instruction in engineering courses havingwriting components, some students may never receive any writing instruction, disciplinary orotherwise, during their entire college career.Ideally, writing would be integrated throughout the curriculum by incorporating writinginstruction and

Formative Feedback CoachingIntroductionFaculty development, as it relates to teaching and learning, has been a persistent challenge inhigher education. College faculty generally begin their careers with no formal training in teach-ing and, consequently, ‘teach as I was taught’ is the starting point for most new faculty. Respon-sibility for faculty development of teaching, therefore, falls to an administrative unit of theuniversity. Many institutions have successful faculty orientation and mentoring programs, butthose programs often fall short of moving new teachers to effective practice in engagement peda-gogy using active learning strategies. Modifying the practices of experienced faculty is particu-larly difficult.This paper explores how faculty
