these graduates - are directlyresponsible for developing and maintaining the program educational objectives. In practice, theirinterests are represented by members of the program’s Industrial Advisory Board (IAB); severalof these members are in fact graduates of the program or engineering managers who employgraduates. Thus, the IAB is well-positioned to ensure that the objectives meet the needs of thegraduates and employers. Generally, the IAB meets with program faculty twice per year. At themeetings, any member is free to propose a topic for consideration. Discussion of the programeducational objectives can be triggered by a professional concern (changing requirements in theworkplace) or an administrative concern (evolving practice in writing

closed professional system in Canada which requires the coupling of thelicensure and accreditation processes provides engineering educators with greater opportunities to introducerobust methods for teaching the professional competencies around the social and the ethical nature ofengineering practice. Given that the same body oversees the standards for education (the new outcomes basedmodel —- more on this below) and also oversees the licensure standards, engineering educators are obliged (inways that appear to us to be stronger than in the US) to take each of the graduate attributes (see below)seriously. This, coupled with the fact that ALL engineers must go through the licensure process, creates anenvironment in which the CEAB outcomes based

The only exposure to mechanicsthey have is through basic general physics I. In mechanical engineering, however, students arerequired to take these courses. Physics majors are also required to take more advanced !2mechanics and electrical courses. Therefore while mechanical engineering and physics majorsget the necessary training in mechanics at a more advanced level, the electrical engineeringmajors do not.!As a result, graduates of these traditional disciplines are overspecialized, possess depth in theirdiscipline but little breadth [5-7].

Did you pursue post-secondary education?2. If you pursued post-secondary education, what did you study?3. Did your participation in the STEM-SEP have any impact on your area of study in college ortrade school?Results of the 2017 STEM-SEP follow-up questionnaire are provided below (Figure 15). 2017 STEM-SEP SURVEY RESULTS Yes No 92 92

the topics and tasks related to both their civil engineering education and their careers in civilengineering. Trends in the data indicate that including an active learning component in atraditional passive lecture series adds value for students in two worthwhile ways. The first beingan increased awareness of less traditional, yet critically important, professional communicationskills and second, students develop a sense of self efficacy in a public facing aspect ofprofessional life.Overall the structured active learning approach to the planning and execution of a traditionalweekly lecture series by the students was a success. The students found that both theplanning/execution of their weekly lecture and attending the lectures offered by their

Engineering Education Historically, engineering faculty have been hired, rewarded, and promoted based ondemonstrated expertise in their fields. However, these faculty generally lack background ineducational theory and have had no significant pedagogical training (Froyd & Lohmann, 2014).Engineering education researchers have even labeled engineering faculty “UnpreparedPractitioners of a Highly Skilled Profession” (Felder et al., 2011, p. 89). Like our predecessorswho taught us, engineering faculty members have adopted the teaching strategies we learnedas students (Lortie, 1975). Although some researchers have identified attempts to makeengineering programs more engaging (Jamieson & Lohmann, 2012), others have argued thatengineering

crop cycles currently dominatingMaryland and Pennsylvania farms. This program is formulated as a project-based learning(PBL) initiative. In particular, the program is a Capstone Design 2-semester course thatadditionally has design and build criteria as a requirement. Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements. In this paper, we detail the approach to having undergraduatestudents research and master multiple technology areas and then apply them
