However, the student survey results indicated that many studentslack such skills and there is a pressing need to teach them those skills in graduate programs.Additionally, the results highlighted that only 4 out of 72 ACCE institutions which consist of5.6% of the accredited degree programs offered courses that are related to forensic engineering.With growing concern for climate change impact and deterioration of infrastructure such asbridges and buildings, the workforce demand for forensic engineers is expected

teacher responses to the focus groupechoed many concerns and frustrations heard many times over. The workshop fulfilled a short-term need in an extraordinary time, and while the workshop showed promise for improvingteachers’ engineering self-efficacy, such formats will likely never take the place of in-personworkshops. There is simply no substitute for in-person interactions and the energy associatedwith cooperative learning environments. However, there may be benefits to mixed approachesor asynchronous formats that utilize the technologies so many learned to use during the past year.First, the virtual format could be used for follow-up meetings and short refresher sessions toefficiently help teachers problem shoot issues that arose during

We also have a set of University Learning Outcomes (ULOs)centered on the principles of “know, do, become”. Initial response from the GEC in November2018 to our proposal for ENGR 180 designated as FC was that Engineering lacked the expertiseto design a course rooted in communication theory. Our proposal, along with two other proposalsfrom Communication and Sociology, was eventually approved by the GEC.

The most common word was “challenging,” which in retrospect was not surprising given the wording of the question. Other adjectives ranged from “awesome” to “the bee’s knees.”The rubric was a success from all viewpoints. Grading laboratory reports was much less of anannoyance for me. I feel that I spent less time grading the reports, although I have no data toverify this claim. Also, I had a very small number of discussions with students about how pointswere awarded; there were no issues concerning consistency of the grade among students. Ibelieve that the rubrics

Academically, this can be seen from the trend of EE courses for non-EEsthat are migrating away from the traditional DC and AC Circuit Theory type courses towardscourses that include a significant coverage of Signals and Systems.While the idea of increasing the talent pool from which

In particular, it discusses:1) if previous research describing the presence of gender stereotypes among both male andfemale students about the engineering profession as non-caring and non-collaborative issupported in this study, with a particular focus on upper elementary school age children;2) if male and female students have similar or varying views/stereotypes; and3

Undergraduates who participate insummer or semester-long research experiences report positive effects such as: “thinking andworking like a scientist”, clarification/confirmation of career plans (including graduate school),and enhanced career/graduate preparation5.Despite these benefits, however, becoming involved with research early in their undergraduateprogram can be difficult for students8. One study suggests that compared to upperclassmen, a muchlower percentage of first-year students consider themselves to be engineers, and the discrepancybetween males and females who consider themselves engineers is the largest among first-years9.In addition, faculty members are reluctant to include new undergraduates in their
