One initiative entails infiltrating sustainability content into a variety ofexisting courses in an undergraduate civil engineering program to ensure that coverage of suchcontent was not subject to variations in specific instructor interests. 15 Another initiative entailsdevelopment of a graduate civil engineering/green construction program that combinescoursework, directed research projects, and international exchanges in a format similar to design-based, service-learning experiences. 16 Educators developing new curricula sometimes rely onABET

the department’s mission is to improve retention of first yearengineering students. Research has shown that for engineering students success in the firstcollege mathematics course is critical for retention.1–3 Therefore, a major retention effort by thedepartment has been to improve the teaching and learning in its engineering mathematics coursesusing educational technologies. Many different sections and courses are taught every semesterby a combination of tenure/tenure track and term faculty. The department has worked to see thatthe use of adopted educational technologies is reasonably consistent across courses and faculty,and that the use of the technologies persists beyond any initial pilot phase. Many factors affectedthe selection and

The Page 14.62.4message was based upon the aforementioned student discontent, and was crafted to align thelaptop initiative directly with the students desire for better classroom technology. The message,therefore, was simple: “Put the power back in the hands of the people!” The entire campaignwas

: Developing a Community of Learners with Incoming Engineering Students that Initially Were Not Calculus ReadyIntroductionMatriculating engineering students who are not calculus-ready encounter many barriers in theiracademic development as compared with their calculus-ready peers [1], [2]. Typically, thesestudents must take a longer path to graduate, are not able to take classes with their incomingpeers, and often experience added barriers as students from underrepresented backgrounds. Someschools attempt to prepare students for calculus in the summer before they matriculate with asummer math bridge program [3-12]. These bridge programs focus on math instruction, andsome include engineering activities. Some of the current research on such

will make inventions and actually conceive, design,implement and operate systems and products that deliver value. Discoverers are those who willhave careers as researchers and in R&D --- those who will create new knowledge and increaseour understanding of phenomena.Another NEET principle is that we should build our education around the way our students bestlearn, engaging them in their learning and self-learning. We should increase the use of theapproaches proven to work, including more active engagement of students in the classroom,more project exposure, and creative uses of digital learning and professional experiences.Progress and Activities during 2016-17NEET (see neet.mit.edu) was initiated in September 2016.The first stage focused on
subsequent programs.For instance, the lecture on Chinese culture was replaced by country profiles on China andTaiwan along with the political, economical, and educational systems of these two countries. Anelectrical engineering professor who had extensive business experience taught value creation ofinnovation in the IT industry. A business professor led the discussion on the ethical aspect ofglobal corporations along with information about the United Nations initiative in encouragingglobal corporations to be socially responsible around the globe.Study program themes were expanded to include issues on energy and the environment with theresult that students studied various research projects funded by the National Science Foundation,Transportation
