: Creating more Practice-Ready Bridge Engineers through Anchored InstructionThe overarching objective of the FHWA project is to develop and install pedagogicalinterventions into an existing undergraduate civil engineering mechanics curriculum such thatcore principles are more likely to be transferred from the classroom to the bridge engineeringprofession.This is expected to be accomplished by deeply contextualizing, or anchoring, fundamentalengineering principles in bridge-centered case-studies throughout students’ four-year course ofstudy, beginning with sophomore-level mechanics courses. In these introductory-level courses,students are presented with the details of a local bridge and asked to perform simple analysistasks. As students progress

faculty development deals with helping faculty members improvetheir competence as teachers and scholars 4. Furthermore, improving faculty competenceis a part of improving overall instructional quality. The efforts to increase instructionalquality depend on faculty development (focus on faculty), instructional development(focus on student, course and curriculum), and organizational development (focus onstructure and process).5 Faculty in purely teaching institutions (non-research environments), especiallythose teaching in technology-based and career-oriented programs, generally lag behindthe pace of technological change in terms of their professional development activities dueto their non-association with research activities.

student progress and the quality of learning experiences. This is acomplex problem because, compared to problem solving, design problem framing is less studiedand harder to predict due to the higher levels of student agency involved. To address this issue,we developed a survey to measure framing agency, which is defined as opportunities to frameand reframe design problems and learn in the process. This study extends past research whichfocused on the construct of framing agency and developing an instrument to measure it followingbest practices in survey design, including using exploratory factor analysis of pilot data, whichrecovered six factors related to shared and individual consequentiality, problem structure andconstrainedness, and learning
