profession leaving them at a disadvantage [1] [2][3]. They argue that what is needed is the ability to design and function in a diverse, globalenvironment and that many are graduating with skills that are often in conflict with workplacerequirements leaving them ill-equipped to be a fully functioning contributor.As an example, we teach students to research the problem during the engineering design process,before developing potential solutions. This research typically consists of only those elementswhich relate to the engineering specifications of the problem and the subsequent requirementsand constraints developed are measured via engineering equipment or tools. On the other hand,the practice of engineering can be considered a web of socio-technical

To achieve these objectives, the studydeveloped a framework including a comprehensive lecture on Safe-to-Fail and its applicationsfollowed by an interactive discussion session and a survey to capture students’ experiences,expectations, and perceptions. The framework was implemented in a cross-listed SustainableApproach to Construction course in an educational institution located in a hurricane-prone state.55 AEC students who were registered in the course participated in the

Design issues, technical knowledge gaps, COTS issues, and time andbudget constraints had the highest frequency of occurrence.Vanhanen and Lehtinen [1] studied 11 capstone projects to understand the types of problems thatoccurred. The top failures were that the teams fell short of their goals (both in features andquality), communications broke down, and students didn’t “take responsibility.” In thediscussion, the authors referred to poor quality estimation, high learning needs, and poormotivation. Student motivation becomes a problem when heroic effort is the only option forsuccess.More recently, Makiaho and Poranen [4] compared the risks identified up front

Particularly, some of the participants in our study reporteddifficulties utilizing features of online technologies (e.g., Zoom) for interactive Q&A sessions,small group breakout sessions, and proctoring exams. To mitigate such difficulties in futurehybrid classes, sufficient support should be provided to instructors such as specialized trainingon existing and emerging technical tools and programs for dual-mode class management, onlineproctoring, and student engagement.Several limitations of the current study are noteworthy.

Although mentoring in general appears to have a successful impact, one study showedthat pairing a female student with a female mentor had a greater impact than pairing a femalestudent with a male mentor [1]. Mentoring was explored to establish if it would produce anybenefits for retention rates for women in engineering. The study was conducted over severalyears to investigate if peer mentoring would increase the success of women in engineering. Thestudy included 150 female students with 50 students assigned a female mentor, 50 studentsassigned a male mentor, and 50

Instructional design strategies and resources will bediscussed in more detail further in this paper. Most students accepted the message that they canbe successful and will receive the help they need to do so. A general shift in the attitudes aboutclassroom seat time has also occurred, possibly due in part to the course design. Since the pilotoffering, the percentage of enrolled students electing to attend live classroom sessions hasprogressively decreased. The reasons for this shift are likely numerous and complex, but the endresult is

However, todevelop sustainable practices and design buildings that prioritize human conditions and society’swell-being, other competencies exist alongside technical expertise.These competencies, on one end, align with the requirements in national policy documents[2][3][4], ABET

Furthermore,even less progress has been made in diversifying the engineering workforce, with marginalchange in the proportion of underrepresented minority engineers in the workforce in recentdecades [3], [4]. To address problems of diversification and retention in the STEM workforce,we must explore potential mechanisms to support these aims.The transition from college to the workforce is a critical period for retaining a diverse STEMworkforce.
