To prepare students to solve thesechallenges, the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and Civil Engineering Technology(CET) programs at Old Dominion University (ODU) are introducing a new minor titledEngineering Solutions for Climate Adaptation and Resilience. This minor ensures that graduatesunderstand how climate is changing, how it will impact society, and what solutions can be adoptedto mitigate the impacts of climate change. The minor will incorporate two new classes, Managingthe Climate Crisis, which will provide an understanding of climate science, the

Change is a part of constructionirrespective of the project delivery methods – change happens and should be properly planned for.Knowledge of contract changes and claims brings together various areas of construction practices. Fromconstruction law to construction materials and methods, cost estimating, value engineering, planning andscheduling, risk management, and leadership. This paper makes the case for teaching contract changesand claims management to students in construction-related programs and the paper also presents a modelsyllabus for the implementation of the course. For the students taking the class, this should help thembuild

Since this datacollection began in Fall 2019, shortly before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic andcontinued into 2021, our results provide a unique insight into the state of mental health inengineering education during “normal times,” how it changed and how mental health issuesskyrocketed during the early stages of the pandemic, and to what extent mental health hasrecovered to pre-pandemic levels as engineering students returned to campus.Data CollectionThis study used survey instruments to get a broad understanding of mental health trendsamong engineering students and targeted interviews to get a more in-depth understanding ofexperiences related to mental health in
Practices Related to Sociotechnical Thinking in the Teaching of Undergraduate Engineering StudentsAs a global society, we face significant challenges, including environmental degradation andclimate change, increasing economic inequity, rapid urbanization and population growth, theexclusion of individuals and groups from different forms of social engagement, and concernswith privacy and security. Given the omnipresent nature of technology and its influence on ourlives, engineers must consider the ethical, environmental and sociological impacts of their work,and some engineering programs are considering new pedagogical methods and broaderframeworks to engage students in macroethics, sociotechnical thinking and engineering for

incourses related to the AIMS certificate programs. Project-based activities such as AIMS-relatedworkshops offered by the university will be assessed to measure learning outcomes associatedwith engineering self-efficacy, judgment, and leadership skills.Engineering self-efficacy (ESE) is an individual’s belief in their capability to act in the waysnecessary to reach specific goals. Judgment about one’s abilities can influence behavior and goalattainment. We hypothesize that the groups’ self-guidance during the hackathon will improvetheir ESE related to applying AIMS concepts. Next, engineering judgment (EJ) is an individual’sability to make and justify decisions and predict the resulting consequences. EJ is developed inparallel with engineering

(IEA) aims to enhance engineering education andproficiency globally. It accomplishes this mission through educational agreements related tostandards, best-practice accreditation processes, and mutual recognition of accreditedengineering programs, as well as agreements that outline and acknowledge professionalcompetence.The IEA Agreements are founded on the principle of "substantial equivalence of academicprograms." Substantial equivalence is understood as the general results achieved that,although not identical, are repeatable and effective against the same standard, even if themeans by which the results are achieved or evaluated are not similar [10]. The WashingtonAccord, established in 1989, is the oldest component of the IEA. The Washington

Program selection was restricted to Engineering Education PhD degree programs in theUS and it excluded programs with any integration of other disciplines and focus areas in the titlee.g., Science Technology Engineering Mathematics Education PhD programs. The focus onleaders, such as program directors and/or coordinators, resonates with perspectives of doctoraleducation leadership that Prewitt espoused [10]. Prewitt argued that unlike pre-doctoralqualifications, the design and delivery of PhD programs is shaped by a broad spectrum ofinstitutional and national leaders who control entry into PhD programs, doctoral training,publication outlets, career development, and

capacity concerns, and these types of meritocracy-based programs are usedas a means of managing program growth and enrollment.Given the importance of matriculation to engineering degree completion, we examine if timingof matriculation into a degree granting program is related to engineering degree completion. Inthis working paper, we use data from a single institution that has a meritocracy-basedmatriculation program. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we consider a student’s probabilityof graduating within six-years to be a function of matriculating into a degree grantingengineering program in one of four possible entry points, while controlling for academicachievement in key math and science classes.Matriculation ProcessStudents at the study
