of these engagement methods,students’ collaboration plays a great role, however, there are only few studies are available on an effectiveteam formation method. The team integration and level of collaboration will directly affect the quality ofthe end-product as well as the amount of learning through the process. An effective team formationmechanism in Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs is vital to create astrong collaboration among students and to maximize learning. In this paper, a preliminary study has beenperformed to investigate a possible route to build an effective collaboration among students by changingthe traditional paradigm “cheating on in-class Examinations” into a possible productive team work arena

responsibility in recognizing what employers in theirfield want. Educators, at both the K-12 level and higher education, must play a role intransitioning students into college and then into the workforce. Industry should be included as apart of the higher education curriculum development. Industry must define to those in highereducation what their specific needs are in a given field (Ejiwale, 2014). This employer emphasisreaffirms the importance in outcomes assessment criteria and the need to have all stakeholders befully vested in the process (Duff, 2004). Scholl and Olsen (2014) took the assessment process a step further in measuring thestudent learning outcomes of a program through the use of the Student Assessment of LearningGains (SALG). It

intentional in planning study abroad as part of their college experience. Studentsare allowed the planning time needed to integrate their desired course topic and travel destinationas part of their course schedule and are better able to budget for the financial requirements.Historical Program ImplementationThe team developed these courses during a ten-year period through an evolutionary process.First, the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) group sponsored a study abroad tour to France in2007. In 2008, the same group led a study abroad tour to northern Italy (Guzek F, Brockway K,Brockway T, and Guzek, S. 2013). These SIFE international activities continued with trips toMexico and a return to France. Thirty-two students participated in the first four

The activity connects course concepts to real worldapplications and requires students to design their own case studies through exploring the researchand patent literature. These aspects engage students in topics they are interested in whilesimultaneously relieving the burden off of faculty for constructing new projects each courseoffering.IntroductionProblem-based learning and laboratory experiments are common teaching methods for theundergraduate kinetics and reaction engineering courses in chemical engineering (Silverstein2011). However, these approaches typically are concentrated on one course topic at a time

also needs tochange. The SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active-Learning Environment with Upside-DownPedagogies) project has paved the way for active learning classrooms and is the basis for the"flipped" classroom model, where the majority of content is delivered outside the classroom, andclassroom time is used for active-learning activities, and often, group work. The SCALE-UPmodel has been shown to result in increased academic performance and student satisfaction(Beichner and Saul 2003).The School of Engineering (SOE) has placed a high priority on supporting pedagogical shifts tostudent-centered, evidence-based practices across its undergraduate curricula through itsEngaged Learning Initiative (ELI). As part of the ELI, the SOE opened the LEEP2

accreditation criteria based on the BOK2, it was determinedthat the civil engineering program criteria, and thus the BOK, should be updated periodically.Work is currently under way on the BOK3 and publication is expected in late 2018.IntroductionThe American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) published its first edition of the Body ofKnowledge (BOK) in 2004 (ASCE 2004). The ASCE BOK was outcome based, and was in partintended to facilitate the ASCE Policy Statement 465 toward the Master’s degree or equivalentas an academic prerequisite for licensure (ASCE 2017a). This is now termed the Raise the Barinitiative (ASCE 2017b).The first edition BOK had 15 outcomes. The first 11 were identical to the ABET Criterion 3student outcomes a – k at the time (ABET
