Thiscollaborative problem solving is an ABET requirement as well as a characteristic of the NationalAcademy of Engineering’s “Engineer of 2020”. Course grades, however, are assigned individually, andthe institution, which bears the ethical responsibility to validate
assignments that enhance students’ critical thinking capabilities. Page 15.211.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Assessment of Environmental EducationAbstract All scholars and educators agree that assessment practices throughout the country areexperiencing a state of rapid transition. It is also possible that many techniques used inassessment may not examine how classroom practices have played significant roles incontributing towards specific student learning outcomes. Educational psychologists and leadingscholars have also indicated that assessment techniques should actually analyze and examine
Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Collaboratively Developing an Introductory Infrastructure Systems Curriculum:The One Water ModuleIntroductionThe 21st century water challenges posed by decaying infrastructure, climate change, andurbanization cannot be solved by technology and engineering alone. In this context, successfulengineering decisions concerning the water infrastructure must be informed by an understandingof environmental, social, and political impacts and constraints. The future environmentalengineers tasked with tackling these 21st century challenges are ill-served by a 20th centuryeducation that presents technical systems in isolation and does not address the design andoperation of infrastructure as a
College of Engineering built on the work from this grant in2004 with the creation of the “Environment in Engineering Committee,” an ad hoc committeecharged with developing strategies to enhance research and educational programs related to theenvironment within the College of Engineering. The committee’s final report in 2005recommended the creation of a new academic unit that could serve as a focal point within thecollege for environmental research and learning. In 2007, EEE collaborated with the ABET-accredited Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE)program at Purdue on the establishment of an EEE Plan of Study within MDE.
