While this mayalter the publicity of such programs, the curricular content standards must be maintained foraccreditation via ABET.Purpose and Methods: This descriptive study aims to document the development and spread ofABET Accredited Environmental Engineering programs in the US with a focus on PUIprograms. Such information would be of use for future students and faculty who wish tolearn/work in such a program

Inaddition to providing more virtual educational experiences for students, there is a growingemphasis on ensuring that higher education also equips all students, whether in person or online,with skills that align with the needs of the industry [3]. One way education tries to equip studentswith skills the industry needs more effectively is by implementing innovation-based learning(IBL) [4,5]. IBL is a teaching paradigm where courses require both undergraduate (UG) and graduatestudents to learn fundamental engineering concepts during class sessions. Then, these studentsengage in

For example, one study [13] demonstrated theeffectiveness of integrating teamwork and soft skill-focused workshops into a manufacturingsystems course. These students showed improved team performance after going through a “softskills” workshop. Another study investigated “soft-skill” focused single class sessions withinengineering courses and found an increased ability for students to utilize soft skills [14]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceRooted in
