. But I wanted to also have a terminal professional degree once I get out in four years. I mean anyone who goes and takes a biology degree or chemistry degree, if they don’t get in to medical school or they decide that it’s not for them, they don’t have anything to fall back in where they’re considered professional in that degree. They have to continue on to get more education. And that was very attractive to me for chemical engineering. (B5)Some considered chemical engineering to be both good preparation for medical school and anacceptable alternative in the eyes of their family members. Others were advised to hedge theirbets by pursuing a degree that would allow a range of career possibilities in the event that

forth by the epistemic community standards (I-Standards). The approach to course redesign across the curriculum started with core courses inthe sophomore and junior years, given that many efforts to transform engineering education havetargeted the first and final years of study. Redesigning core courses, including Mechanics ofMaterials, Applied Mechanics I (Statics), and Fluid Mechanics, which are required courses inmany engineering majors, allows students from departments across the school of engineering toaccess the transformed curriculum. This structure expands the impact of the course redesign andextends the reach of strengths-based messaging around neurodiversity beyond the Department ofCivil and Environmental Engineering. The codes

Abstract During the past several decades, the economy of each nation has been significantly affected by globalization and technology. Government regulations and private sector standards affect a majority of world trade. Countries have been working together to establish international standards in almost every field. As a result, workers in all sectors need to have an understanding of standards. Engineering and technology students must not only possess an understanding of engineering standards and applicable government codes, but also learn to apply them in designing, developing, testing and servicing products, processes and systems.
