and practitioners. In order to improve its globalcompetitiveness, the United States must grow its science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) workforce. Although the engineering sector has grown in past years, in2012, engineers comprised only 1.2% of the U. S. workforce.18 The U. S. Department of Laborforecasts growth in workforce needs among all of the major engineering disciplines (chemical,civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical); however, the projected demand for civil engineers isfar greater compared to the other disciplines (Table 1). 19 This is largely due to the need for civilengineers to address issues related to the country’s aging infrastructure and to the design anddevelopment of new infrastructure needed to

Theprogram is designed to be extremely flexible; it permits the student to select a combination ofcourses relevant to individual career goals in technology or to provide the foundation for furtheradvanced study. The multidisciplinary curriculum includes core courses and electives in suchareas as rapid prototyping, programmable devices and systems, modern energy conversiontechnologies, lean manufacturing principles, project management, to name a few. The program iscurrently available entirely online and several of the courses employ web-based laboratoryexercises

Undergraduate engineering curriculum has evolved to include moreactive, project-based learning to provide students the opportunity to address “real-world”problems, such as the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges forEngineering [1]. The skillset that engineering education teaches students has become broader,expanding beyond the technical to include skills such as communication, leadership, and projectmanagement. An emphasis on mindset, or how students approach the interdisciplinary problemsthey solve, has also become increasingly important.

Theirwork can result in positive societal contribution, helping them to develop deeper interest andautonomy in their work, which also reinforces their EDS identity.

This will improve the quality of climate education within the university. • Pursue learning research: Testing a novel approach to content delivery where the faculty sit in on the previous course. This should reduce burden on instructors. • Providing course “bundles:” Streamline elective choices to assist advisors.If successful, our pilot program could be extended to other interdisciplinary domains (e.g.,energy with electricity focus, energy with
