Wyoming, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech).RIT and Northeastern have formal cooperative education programs while University ofWyoming and Virginia Tech do not and consequently only a small percentage of students (2%and 10% respectively) participate in voluntary co-op programs at these two universities. Thepurpose of that study was to investigate the concern over a lower percentage of womenparticipating in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields which consequentlytranslates into a lower percentage of females in these areas of the work force.1 The studyexamined whether retention of students in engineering majors could be improved through astudent’s self-efficacy and to what degree contextual

As there is not one universallyaccepted EDP, there is also not one universally accepted approach for each of the steps in theEDP. For example, ‘ideation’ is generally understood to be a step about brainstorming differentpossible design concepts, but there are many different ideation and brainstorming strategiesadvocated by various members of the design community. It was necessary to provide scaffoldingfor students to provide clear evidence of their design process while still being authentic andflexible.

The “employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 37 percentfrom 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations”1. Today, “women representjust 10 percent of the cybersecurity workforce”. 2 In the same article, David Shearer, CEO of theInternational Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC2) stated: “Theinformation security field is expected to see a deficit of 1.5 million professionals by 2020 if wedon’t take

Thissummer camp is aimed at introducing middle school students from various backgrounds to basicaspects of engineering with hands-on, engaging materials and methods. At the 2015 STEPScamp, participants were a mix of rising 7th-grade male and female students who expressed aninterest in learning science and/or engineering concepts on their application form. At each of thefive 13-hour camp sessions offered, 20 students worked in two small groups learning aboutcircuits and vector drawings, this was followed by a trip to the University of St. Thomasengineering labs.

In other terms, employers are looking for employees thathave well-developed 21st Century Skills. While not always pictured this way, engineering is avery creative profession that uses 21st Century Skills on a daily basis. It is important thatengineers be able to design a solution that is effective yet still meets constraints such as time,cost, manufacturability, size, etc.[2

Furthermore, there is a lack ofprogram outcomes assessments for Project Infinity, while reports on PLTW have shown existingissues. For instance, a curriculum content analysis concluded that the PLTW curriculumaddressed fewer content standards and showed far fewer points of integration of mathematicalknowledge than would be expected 3. Further, other published empirical studies showed mixedresults from state achievement test scores 4. In addition, neither of these two programs arealigned with the current standards.

The Issue of STEM Major RetentionThe President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology’s (PCAST) recent report 1predicts that the U.S. workforce’s supply will be 1 million short of the demand for graduates inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but less than half of those who enterU.S. colleges to pursue majors in STEM persist to graduation.

The ultimate goal of thisinitiative was to change state licensure laws, such that a master’s degree or equivalent(augmented by appropriate work experience) would become the academic prerequisite forlicensure as a professional engineer in the U.S. In support of this goal, ASCE and NCEESpartnered to promote RTB-compliant professional licensing legislation in several states. Despitethese efforts, no U.S. licensing jurisdiction adopted such legislation, largely due to oppositionfrom other engineering professional societies [1].Acknowledging this lack of progress, the ASCE Board of Direction formally initiated a majorchange in the direction of the RTB initiative in March 2018

The study found that forty seven of fiftystate statutes define the “practice of engineering.” Fourteen state statutes specifically define“teaching advanced engineering courses or engineering design” as the “practice of engineering”which requires a professional engineer’s license. Three of the fourteen state statutes define“teaching upper level engineering courses” as the practice of engineering, but specificallyexempt faculty who teach engineering courses from licensure requirements.
