To this point, widely recognizedand well-regarded institutions of higher education frame the field of engineering research andpractice as the world’s “problem solvers” on their college’s websites or home pages (e.g., [1],[2]).

Students at the off-campus locations control their cameras witha ‘joy’ stick and use a microphone to communicate with the instructor. Their images maybe programmed to appear either on separate monitors, one each per group, or all on asingle ‘split screen’ TV monitor. The document camera, with wide-angle and zoomfeatures, is used to display printed or instructor-written class notes on the monitors. Thesmart board replaces a traditional classroom ‘black board’ on which the instructor canwrite using a magic marker. The material written on the smart board appears, as it iswritten in real time, on the monitors but

An online survey was constructed to probe participant’s knowledge, perceptions andpractice of active learning. The survey consists of four sections: knowledge, perceptions, practiceof active learning, and demographics. To explore their current knowledge, participants wereasked to describe what active learning means in their words. To assess their perceptions of activelearning, we identified existing scales in the literature [5] - [7], [11], [12], and finalized 40 itemsacross six constructs: (a) general attitudes toward active learning, (b) familiarity and use

of Randel et al.’s (2018) inclusive leadership model. These leaderindividual difference factors are centered in awareness of bias that pervades behaviors whichnegatively impact the facilitation of belongingness and valuing uniqueness. The implicitassociation test (IAT) is a common measure used to aide in identification of perceptions orassociations between groups (Greenwaldt & Krieger, 2006). By building awareness ofunconscious associations or unconscious biases, one can work to shift in a conscious mannertowards behaviors that support inclusive leadership.

Students also gave themselvesvery low ratings in their assessment of their understanding of other engineering disciplines and their hands-on and practical engineering skills. The areas where students expressed the greatest confidence at the outsetof the course were their ability to work effectively in a team and, related, their ability to communicate ideasto future engineers from their own and other disciplines.

Exploratory factoranalyses and reliability analyses confirmed that the measure we developed reliably assessedseven factors that had been suggested as important for retention: commitment, confidence, theperceived value of engineering, interest/curiosity about engineering, family support, socialperceptions, and perceptions of bias in the field of engineering. While that study was focusedspecifically on women students and interventions to impact those factors and increase retentionof women, our numbers were too small to indicate any statistically significant results.

Since outcomes need to be assessed, it is speculated that the additionalwork required to assess additional outcomes is a deterrent to adding outcomes beyond thoserequired by ABET. Lastly, 15% of schools surveyed were determined to be based on a mix ofboth ABET and BOK2.Two general conclusions can be drawn from Table 2. First, the number of programs that havedecided to model their program outcomes after BOK2 is small. Second, while programs mayfind the outcomes in BOK2 worthy, adoption of these outcomes to be part of the ABET processon a voluntary basis is
