Vision showed that employees with less workexperience (5 years or less) were most likely to resign from their positions and the civil engineeringprofession entirely [6].Previous studies have examined engineering graduates’ retention in their professions as subsets ofindividual values and circumstance. However, there is limited research analyzing the overarchingorganizational culture of engineering colleges that may influence the expectations and outcomesof engineering graduates in industry. Organizational culture describes the customs and valuesunique to an organization [7, pp. 565]. These aspects of organizations can encourage or inhibitorganizational success.

In an empirical study“Lecturing versus self-study” Lahidji concluded that neither lecturing nor self-study isthe best method of teaching and learning. Each technique has its positive and negativeaspects. Therefore, either approach should be supported by the other technique, such asinteractive learning and integrating of information technology in the class activities 7.Also, ongoing research suggests parity in student achievement when comparing online tolive classes. An experimental study by Schulman and others concluded, the learning ofonline students is equal to the learning on in class students and the pre test gradesindicated that the online students

Because ofthese small numbers, Indigenous students are often left out of educational research, broadeningparticipation efforts, and inclusive pedagogical practice discussions and denoted only as an asteriskand/or noted as a statistically insignificant population in research studies (Shotton et al., 2013).Because of these numbers, the limited research exploring Indigenous people in engineering mostly focuses on therecruitment and retention of Indigenous engineering students but mostly focuses on individual-level experiencesinstead of systemic issues. ‹#› Personally

Project Overview In research studies on student retention, authors observe a range of factors impacting retention that tend to vary by demographic groups. These studies often highlight how groups that are underrepresented within engineering face additional challenges to persistence due to marginalization [1,2]. They demonstrate how BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Peoples of Color), female, and first-generation college students

defined the direction and scope ofsubsequent education policy and research in terms of gender equity. In 1964, Congress passedthe Civil Rights Act, which, among other things, prohibited racial discrimination in education.As a part of this Act, Congress also commissioned a national study to determine the extent ofracial inequality in terms of access to educational opportunity. With the passage of Title IX, in1972, discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions and programs was alsoprohibited, but, unlike the 1964 Civil Rights Act, no research to examine sex discrimination wasincluded in the legislation. In the early 1980’s, national concern about the growing shortage ofscientists and engineers gave rise to policy initiatives

Integrating Traffic Engineering Field Hardware and Research Methodologies into Transportation Engineering Education Edward J. Smaglik Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZAbstractThe limited coordination between design and implementation is a significant challengethat must be overcome when implementing a traffic engineering project. Manyengineers, particularly recent graduates, may be well versed in traffic theory but may nothave the experience to understand the challenges and issues that arise during fieldimplementation. Furthermore, the tools typically used for analysis and design may notprovide a complete picture of the range of operational issues that may be
