, we needed toensure the audio narrative resources that resulted from the project were as high quality,understandable, and authentic to the student experience as possible. Secules’s prior professionaland educational experience in acoustics enabled his exploration of the topic, and the fundedgrant’s advisory board includes members with expertise on podcast audio specifically.One of the specific challenges encountered was matching the tone and accent of student actors tointerview participants. We selected student actors in collaboration with an Associate Professor ofTheatre at Florida International University (FIU), and aligned the actor with the participant interms of gender and approximate age (since both participant and actor are Bachelor’s
provide three class size facts for a typical given year: 1) the class size,2) how many students are assigned to a faculty, and lastly, 3) how many students are assigned toan industry mentor. Table 1 provides a statistical breakdown of these. It is well known that programsize varies, ranging from 3 to over 100 students in the capstone, with a mean of 35.7 students.Larger capstones inherently have difficulties depending on how they are taught, however,depending on the staffing large capstones can be manageable [16]. Programs indicated that a givenfaculty member advises from 3 to 50 students, with an average of 13.5 students. For programs withstudent teams, this average number of students per faculty member is manageable whenconsidering in-depth
itself, the assessment strategyshould promote these attributes. Where possible, assessments are imbedded into the work of theproject and the team.Assessments of students in EPICS consider an individual’s holistic body of work in the contextof a larger team environment. The assessment process is designed to accommodate students fromdifferent majors working in different phases of the design process and in different roles. Theassessment practices are also intended to follow the form of personnel performance reviews inindustry, to help equip students to thrive in their careers after graduation. Each student isevaluated on five outcome criteria: 1. Accomplishments, 2. Design Process, 3. Reflective and Critical Thinking, 4. Teamwork or

equitable and sustainable infrastructure include promoting environmentaljustice and social equity principles within project processes and decision making, supportingcommunities to achieve carbon neutrality, facilitating improved stakeholder engagement andinteragency collaboration, increasing the resiliency, preparedness, and long-term viability of civilinfrastructure [22]. Although previous literature has discussed incorporating various Envisioncase studies in the curriculum [7], [23]–[26], studies have yet to introduce the AEC students toENV SP credential and its prospect in their future career. This study takes the pilot initiative anddiscusses the required processes to obtain such credentials as a student. The Envision™ ratingsystem consists of

Her most recent work explores the effects of mobile educational technology, online learning and distance education; metacognition and self-regulation, and contemporary engineering practice on engineering student learning and professional identity development. Angie graduated from the United State Military Academy at West Point with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. She later earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in engineering education at Utah State University. In 2021, Angie's research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award to critically examine the professional formation of

With deep desires tounderstand and experience realistic AEC professional roles, RPs appreciate interactions withpractitioners. These interactions provided opportunities to assess career decisions, gainknowledge about resources and opportunities, heighten inspiration to persist, and modelimpactful strategies utilized by these role models as explained by an Environmental EngineeringRP, “I have become more interested and involved in engineering since the fall semester. Anenvironmental engineer came in and talked about all the work he does outside of the office.Environmental Engineering is my major and hearing about this made me more passionate aboutmy major.

prerequisite for all of the courses in the first semester of the third year. Finally, theprojects offered in the course are chosen so that they require students to integrate knowledgefrom all their other base courses and put that knowledge into practice with an eye toward helpingstudents to choose their major in the third year. Thus, some of the projects emphasize certainaspects of ECE more than other projects do, so that students can begin to explore aspects of theirintended specializations. The other projects that are currently part of the course and their relevantskills include a wireless sensor node where students create a solar-powered system that usespower electronics to charge a battery, an SpO2 measurement that displays information from

increases engagement. Start with an in-person lecture, then permit students or groups to work with the industry contact on various assignments in a “consulting” mode. Expose students to contacts with a varying range of industry experience. Students benefit from learning from experienced industry veterans while they also see the perspective of recent graduates just starting their careers. Avoid long lecture only classes. Break up talks with individual exercises, hands on experiences, and multiple shorter sessions if possible. When establishing industry lectures, care needs to be taken. Most importantly is the earlyscheduling and coordination of presenters. Ideally, presenters need coordinated

in perceiving connections between presenters’ topics.Furthermore, convergent presentations that included an engineer and another kind of researchershowed a significant effect (compared to individual engineering presentations) on respondents'likelihood to share something about their experience, as well as their desire to learn more aboutthe topic. Taken together, these outcomes reflect forms of engagement that can make engineeringtopics more meaningful and relevant, even to people who do not have an existing inclination tothink about engineering.Our research team is eager to build on the present study by exploring the boundaries ofconvergent presentations, namely by asking researchers and community members to collaboratearound themes that
