In the context of interdisciplinaryengineering projects and courses, on the other hand, research has defined a challenge tointerdisciplinary collaborations as disciplinary egocentrism, or the “inability to think outside ofone‟s disciplinary perspective”, from an examination of a green engineering course offered tomostly upperclassmen engineering students5. Others have described the experiences of studentson interdisciplinary engineering projects32. Yet, to continue to understand students‟ experiencesand develop courses and programs which fulfill the learning objectives regardinginterdisciplinary engineering teams16, there is a need to examine students‟ perceptions

Somewould posit that system architecture does not lend itself to teaching because of its abstract naturerequiring synthesis to derive a proper architecture would be difficult for undergraduates. However,there have been several successful initiatives which have introduced system thinking, a coreelement of system architecting, into undergraduate systems/industrial engineering programs.These undergraduate system thinking skills provide the foundation to expand upon and provideundergraduate engineers with an understanding of system

One simple change will be to make sure the results of the pre-seminar survey are more explicitly covered during the seminars.For future iterations, the post-seminar survey needs to be redesigned to better ask questions thatwill more efficaciously assess the effectiveness of the seminars on improving financial literacyknowledge and confidence to act on that knowledge, as well as to probe a bit deeper into thereasoning behind their answers. Asking if they feel more or less confident than prior to theseminars and why, for example, will likely provide a better understanding of the effectiveness ofthe seminars.If possible, it would be valuable to collaborate with other programs that might have similarofferings or are

Professionals within the engineering industry encounter problems which are described as ill-structured [1], wicked [2, 3], ill-defined [4], complex [5], or workplace [1]. While a diverse use ofterms are employed, with varying amounts of use, all share similar meanings. That is, they describeproblems which do not have defined correctness in solutions (no right or wrong answers), are noteasily described, lack defined rules, and often necessitate iteration to generate a final solution. Alternatively, the sorts of problems that are commonly experienced with engineeringclassrooms are “Engineering Classroom Problems.” These problems are often presented by thecourse instructor in a manner such that the

with technical understanding and strong communication skills[4], and ABET has consistently listed “an ability to communicate effectively” as a foundationalstudent outcome [1].With engineering educators and industry members strongly agreeing that technicalcommunication skills are essential [2], it would be natural to assume that writing educationwould be woven throughout more engineering curriculums. However, a study by Trellinger et alin 2019 found that even instructors who understood the importance and benefit of writingactivities within core engineering classes were not able to incorporate these types of assignmentsas much as wanted due to roadblocks such as the time commitment required to set up a newwriting assignment, the time needed to
highereducation provides the opportunity to learn theory and apply it, students can be left with alimited ability to learn through authentic experiences [6]. This proves to be particularlyproblematic in engineering disciplines. The curriculum tends to focus more on theoreticalfoundations and less on the practical application and skills needed in the workforce [6]. Studieshave shown that to enhance the value of engineering graduates in the industry, they must acquireentrepreneurial abilities such as identifying an opportunity, solving problems, thinkingcreatively, and generating societal value [1], [3]. Therefore, engineering institutions have begunto recognize the importance of teaching technical skills coincided with entrepreneurial skills togenerate

from interactions between early career engineers and others at work are the mostfrequently perceived mini-crisis situations expressed in the interviews. Specifically, these tensionsstem from interactions with supervisors, peers, and clients. Firstly, several interviewees reportedthat communications with their leaders were not smooth, due to unequal power relations,information asymmetry, or untimely feedback. This type of relationship conflict often makes earlycareer engineers feel at loss, not knowing to what extent they retain control of the work process. Secondly, peers could act as another source of tension for early career engineers, especiallywhen a healthy collaborative culture is lacking and responsibilities are not clearly

the term “specialty areas appropriate to civil engineering” as a substitute for “technical areas appropriate to civil engineering” in the current CEPC. It is not intended, however, that programs are limited to specialty areas for which certification is available—a caveat that is planned for inclusion in the training materials developed in support of the CEPC revision. • In response to a request from the ASCE Industry Leaders Council, the task committee decided that safety should be specified explicitly as one of a civil engineer’s professional responsibilities. This addition is consistent with the inclusion of safety considerations in several CEBOK3outcomes—in particular, the professional
used in engineering,studies have shown that engineering students most commonly identify prototyping or physicalmodels when asked about modeling [1]. Additionally, students are often unaware that modelsmay be used to make predictions. Previous studies have found that modeling interventions cansignificantly increase students’ understanding of mathematical models and the use of models tomake predictions [1, 2, 4].Some types of models embedded in engineering curriculum, industry, and research are: physicalmodels, prototypes, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models, engineering sketches, mathematicalmodels, statistical models, computational models, computer simulations, project managementmodels, risk assessment models, and financial models.
