HSIs are defined as two- or four-year nonprofitinstitutions that enroll 25% or more full-time students who identify as having Latin Americanheritage or origins [27]. While few HSIs were specifically established to educate students withLatin American heritage or origins, HSIs are uniquely equipped to enrich the outcomes ofsystematically and historically marginalized students through recruitment and retentioninitiatives and students-centered pedagogy and programs [33], [28].

While true, there are a number of complex issues that arise suchas whether it is possible for one person to possess all of these attributes, whether such a modelbest serves the projected trends in civil engineering education, and whether these needs areapplicable to and can be enforced for non-traditional, non-university civil engineering programs.As a new committee (BOK-2) has formed to write the second edition of this document, theASCE Committee on Faculty Development is revising the “who should teach” chapter for thiseffort.

However, in the rapid pace of globalization of industryand commerce, these elements have become not only important, but essential to the continuedgrowth and continued health of the US economy. Innovation and entrepreneurship are the keysto starting new businesses and growing existing businesses in a world awash with commodityproducts because these elements enable the maintenance of a profit margin that permits growthand continued innovation.

This isespecially true of the cyber security related organizations, as the pandemic caused manycompanies to hire remote workers who have never set foot into local business offices.

graduating engineers and the needs of the workplace(Seely, 2005). The question of the fit between engineering faculty, with their focus on engineeringscience, and their ability to translate the theoretical applications in ways that are effective for preparingengineers has always been of concern (Walker, 1989). In the past, in most engineering curricula, studentsdid not interact with engineering faculty until late in their sophomore year. Initial efforts to focus ondesign courses in the first year in the curriculum was an attempt to allow students to interact withengineering faculty early in the curriculum (Agogino, Sheppard, & Oladipupo, 1992; Pavelich, Olds, &Miller, 1995). At the same time, challenges started to emerge to effectively
