the ABET innovation which achieved the transformation ofaccreditation paradigm. It provided an opportunity for ABET to put forward the newaccreditation criteria-EC2000, which brought a profound impact on engineering educationwithin colleges and universities. In order to cope with the transformation paradigm ofprogram accreditation, colleges and universities carried out various engineering educationreform which included the exploration of a variety of learning outcomes assessment methods,the engagement of a wide range of intellectual resources, the internalization of the philosophyof continuous quality improvement, the integration of evaluation management mechanism,the in-depth reform of curriculum and teaching.4.1.3. Deep Understanding of the
educators on social and economic pillars, itdoes not provide sufficient insight into where to begin this shift toward a more balancedperspective on sustainability. In this study, we endeavor to address this gap in the literature firstby both (a) exposing which topics and challenges in the environment are neglected byengineering students in speaking to environmental sustainability, and (b) which social andeconomic aspects of sustainability do indeed make it onto the radar screen forstudents. Knowing (a) provides implicates for what needs to be added to existing stand-aloneand integrated models of sustainability in the engineering curriculum; knowing (b) gives someinsight into an appropriate starting point to connect to student interests in social

This paper proposes introducing STEAM topics early in students’education by integrating project-based design and engineering curriculum into elementaryschool, starting with students from age six.There has recently been a push to include engineering design as part of core curriculum in K-12and use it for college or career readiness [13, 16, 17, 18, 19]. Challenging children to engagewith problem solving and teamwork at an earlier age helps build their critical thinking andinterpersonal skills [20]. Nurturing children’s creativity is essential for future success

In his research, Hynes explores the use of engineering to integrate academic subjects in K-12 classrooms. Specific research interests include design metacognition among learners of all ages; the knowledge base for teaching K-12 STEM through engi- neering; the relationships among the attitudes, beliefs, motivation, cognitive skills, and engineering skills of K-16 engineering learners; and teaching engineering.

In all but one event, the principal attendees were university-levelengineering educators or industry partners. The October 2013, San Antonio, Texas, eventprovided an opportunity for K-12 and community/technical college stakeholders to have inputinto the Project. Each event was structured as both a focus group (to seek stakeholder input) anda workshop (to permit the dissemination of findings and encourage integration of attributes intothe engineering curriculum).During the focus group portion, highlights from the survey findings were shared and discussed,and participants had an opportunity to provide reactions or contribute

In addition, this Third Edition of the CEBOK(CEBOK3) emphasizes that engineers should also develop an appreciation for effectivecommunication and demonstrate key abilities related to the affective domain. With theimportance of communication to future engineers’ practice of civil engineering clearly defined,undergraduate curricula must adapt to meet this need. At the University of Delaware, the civilengineering curriculum included significant communication content prior to the issuance of theCEBOK3. However, the standard communication coursework of public speaking and technicalwriting left a gap in critical

That would motivate some faculty members to consider ways to integrate thatKSA set into their programs. Even without that incentive, some faculty have and willcontinue to incorporate creativity/innovation on its merits as suggested, in part, by themini-survey, published articles, and my observations.

curriculum changes inengineering programs[10]. Despite all of this, I found it challenging to find papers documentingsuccessful interventions based on these changes.Colleges and universities are increasingly turning to the development of an inclusive culture byapplying frameworks like Inclusive Excellence, a model of diversity and inclusion that“anticipates critical appraisal and recognizes historical and contemporary challenges [11].” Thisframework, when adopted across an institution allows for more collective action. At Universityof Arizona Libraries, their Diversity, Social Justice and Equity Council (DSJEC) was created toalign with the institution’s priorities based on an Inclusive Excellence Model [11, p. 67].In approaching this work, I looked
domain knowledge (elementary school science). Practice-basedlearning was implemented, in which a cohort of high school students from an underserved bordercommunity in Texas worked as an autonomous Making-Production Team (MPT) to produceinstructional hands-on science kits for their own community’s elementary school. By working ina scenario simulating professional practice, the MPT members pragmatically integrated Makingactivities with aspects of production scheduling, inventory, and supply-chain management. Theeventual goal of this activity was for the MPT members to learn engineering concepts anddevelop a STEM self-concept that only such thick practice could provide.Supported via distance mentoring and summer training workshops by a Texas A&

This class consisted of 12 Latinx students. The primary goal was to incorporatescientific inquiry within the Latinx community. As part of the curriculum enhancement, TinyEarth, a program that inspires students to engage in scientific research, was introduced to addressanti-fungal resistance in crops. Each student experimented, and based on their findings, theywere offered an opportunity to join the science lab. To foster a sense of identity within the lab,Latinx students were informed about the significance of specific native

students’ higher educationexperience. Tinto asserts that student retention is not a random occurrence; it can be predictedbased on the attribution of academic and social interactions. The model emphasizes that astudent’s experiences academically and socially with an institution influence their commitmentlevel, directly predicting retention. Figure 1 illustrates the significance of academic and socialintegration in the model. Tinto contends that varying levels of integration contribute to astudent’s decision to drop out. The model proposes that intentionally designing social andcurriculum integration throughout students’ college experiences positively influences retention.Social integration is measured through interactions with peers, institutional

Louisiana Tech University merged the math,chemistry, and physics programs with the engineering, technology, and computer scienceprograms into a single college in 1995 and created an integrated freshman engineeringcurriculum in 1998. Louisiana Tech University has a long history of educational innovations inengineering education, with a hands-on project-based approach implemented in 2004 and fourother NSF-funded programs to increase student success in engineering since 2007.The SSP builds on these prior efforts by providing financial, academic, personal, andprofessional support to engineering students starting in
