These rules require engineers to obtain 15 professionaldevelopment hours (PDHs) of continuing education annually, one hour of which must be in“professional ethics” or related topics.

Target 7 under SDG 04 aims to “ensure that all learners acquire the knowledgeand skills needed to promote sustainable development,” which fundamentally requires theinvolvement of engineers and therefore engineering education (United Nations Economic andSocial Council 2016).

activities. This narrative along with the lack of early STEM education leads to a widearray of misconceptions and rumors regarding STEM disciplines. According to an AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) report from 2018, between 2013 and 2016, the totalnumber of students who received bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering declined by 8% in theU.S. [1]. This decrease creates some concerns because the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)projects employment with nearly 140,000 new jobs expected for engineers over the 2016–26decade, meaning in perspective, there will be a high demand for engineering graduates [2].
