The influence of different instructorswithin a specific class is outside of the scope of this paper.The survey alone is not well-suited to assess which specific pedagogical elements were moreinfluential in promoting sociotechnical thinking or shaping engineering habits of mind. Instead,the other data sources generated within the overall project – namely, focus groups, assignmentdata, and faculty reflection logs – are being analyzed to better answer this question.

Mentored Experience (ME): Early career experience under the mentorship of a civil engineer practicing at the professional level, which progresses in both complexity and level of responsibility. Prior editions of the CEBOK referred to this as “E” for experience. The CEBOK3TC wanted to emphasize early career mentoring as part of the experience and adopted this new terminology to reflect and promote the importance of mentoring. Self-Developed (SD): individual self-development through formal or informal activities and personal observation and reflection.

Each formula has an associated weight that reflects how strong a constraint it is: the higher the weight, the greater the difference in log probability between a world that satisfies the formula and one that does not, other things being equal.”Given a set of statements (F ) and a set of weights associated with them (w) representing theimportance of each constraint, Markov Logic Network could evaluate multiple design alternatives,or test multiple values for each priority.

In termsof the effect on career outcomes, previous studies found evidence that postdoc training enhancesresearch productivity and increases research output [14], [15]. However, postdoc experiencedoes not significantly influence STEM PhDs’ earnings up to 15 years after PhD graduation [15],[19], [21]. The importance of analyzing the effect of postdoc experiences that vary by field of studyhas been stressed by Horta [14] and Kahn and Ginther [19], for example, in part because thedifferences across fields of study reflect their distinct traditions and identities, especially atadvanced levels of academic training [22].

The ability to make products in volume, allowed the US to dominate the world inmanufacturing output, and increase its gross domestic product. In 1951, units of operation inproduct assembly began to be infused with technological innovations, evolving into what is nowknown as advanced manufacturing.

Students then brainstormed and exploreda variety of design modifications, using modeling software to evaluate the potential impact ofeach change on rocket altitude. Next, students modified their rocket kits to reflect changes theymade in the computer model to increase flight altitude.
