These responses demonstratethat there may be a lack of understanding within education programs in regards to theresponsibilities or capabilities of the civil engineering community. These responses in particularcontradict the Code of Ethics put forth by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The preambleof this code recognizes the role of civil engineers in protecting the public, stating that engineersshall “above all else protect and advance the health, safety, and welfare of the public” [7

Faculty reportintegrating ethics topics into a variety of different course types, teaching ethics via a variety ofpedagogies, and assessing student learning with a variety of approaches [2-8]. Faculty have alsodescribed integrating ethics topics into co-curricular activities that they mentor [9-12]. However,faculty perceptions of teaching effectiveness may differ from those of students [13, 14]. Thesedifferences might be particularly large in co-curricular settings where the majority of faculty donot formally assess the extent of student learning [9, 15].In

During the last decade, researchers, small and large interest groups,government agencies, and universities have been reporting on the necessity of a highly skilledand adequately trained workforce. In 2007, IEEE published a task force report1 indicating adeclining national trend in power engineering graduates. Additionally, power engineeringcurriculum requirements have declined since 2001. Now, less than 59 percent of universitiesrequire a power engineering course to fulfill the electrical engineering curriculum. The

In November 2000, we asked five students from theDepartment of Industrial Engineering for their interpretations of five performance-basedoutcomes for graduates of the program. We wanted to document in their own words—not ours—what the students thought the outcomes meant and how to assess them. Four of the outcomeswere selected from a list of eleven outcomes developed by the Accreditation Board ofEngineering and Technology (ABET) for all engineering disciplines. The fifth outcome wasdeveloped by the department and was specific to industrial engineering. Four students mettogether in a series of three focus group discussions. The fifth student was interviewed alone onthree separate occasions because of scheduling

In particular, online-learning-platforms (i.e.,technology), was described as a way to engage students and provide frequent assessment oflearning, as well as manage the workload for large classes. In addition, the use of problems andprojects to provide real-world context for students was shown to be impactful.
