One initiative entails infiltrating sustainability content into a variety ofexisting courses in an undergraduate civil engineering program to ensure that coverage of suchcontent was not subject to variations in specific instructor interests. 15 Another initiative entailsdevelopment of a graduate civil engineering/green construction program that combinescoursework, directed research projects, and international exchanges in a format similar to design-based, service-learning experiences. 16 Educators developing new curricula sometimes rely onABET

It’s possible that such an arrangement would have createdmore problems than it solved and could have had a negative impact on the existing CETprogram.The reason for starting a CE program at our University has never been to increase studentenrollment. The motivation is simple and centered around how best to serve our primaryconstituents – the students. A CE program would provide a track for interested and capable CETstudents to pursue an ABET-EAC BS degree in civil engineering at our University. There areseemingly straightforward and compelling advantages of a CE program – elimination oftemporal and spatial licensure issues, easier graduate school

Students regard thisexperience as the best thing they do in their four years at college. Some students have chosen tocontinue onto graduate studies, or have started careers related to their experience. In BucknellUniversity, upper-level students participate in designing a lab for a freshmen-level course andserved as TAs, and learn how to create a lab experiment and how to present the information,while the freshmen have the opportunity to contact with upper-level students and obtain hands-on experience 19.To make STEM more meaningful and inspire
