AC 2009-1195: THE INTEGRATION OF COGNITIVE INSTRUCTIONS ANDPROBLEM/PROJECT-BASED LEARNING INTO THE CIVIL ENGINEERINGCURRICULUM TO CULTIVATE CREATIVITY AND SELF-DIRECTEDLEARNING SKILLSWei Zheng, Jackson State University Dr. Wei Zheng is an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Jackson State University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2001 and has over10-year industrial experience. Since becoming a faculty member at JSU in 2005, he has made continuous efforts to integrate emerging technologies and cognitive skill development into civil engineering curriculum. He currently is the Principle Investigator for Nanotechnology Undergraduate
the different skill set that solidified her interest inengineering. Keiona validated her choice to go into engineering by stating “why not go into adegree program that is in the industry that you were working at?”Leah’s and Meghan’s involvement with the Seaman-to-Admiral for the 21st Century (STA-21)program allowed them to formalize their engineering education and advance their militarycareers simultaneously. The program provides them the time and funding to complete theirdegree after which they will be commissioned in the Navy. Leah indicated that she likely wouldnot have pursued a Bachelor’s degree in engineering if she was not in the STA-21 program.When asked to describe important events and decision points, she said: Definitely the
some period of time, until the protégés are capable of making expertise-relatedchoices autonomously.There are many cases where the duration of the mentoring relationship is just a few hours,typically at an outreach, i.e., recruiting-type event, with contact between mentor and protégé ofshort duration, often less than eight hours [9]. In many cases, the mentor vis-à-vis role model andprotégé(s) will most likely never meet again, so first impressions often become ONLYimpressions. The member volunteers who interact during these “one and done” events withstudents and the adults who accompany them are defined as “role models” for this study.Overview of studySince 2010, in collaboration with Exxon Mobil, Design Squad, and the Girl Scouts of the
attitudes that ASCE expects future civil engineers to have. It uses Bloom’s Taxonomy 4 to define the levels of achievement that ASCE expects prior to entry into professional practice, as well as those it expects as the individual progresses from the baccalaureate level, through postbaccalaureate education, to prelicensure work. The BOK2 also attributes responsibility for achieving this body of knowledge to universities and other stakeholders, especially industry, to ensure that the development process leads to the desired result. The Body of Knowledge Educational Fulfillment Committee (BOKEdFC) within ASCE has taken on the role of examining how programs are responding to the BOK2 with an

The process of developing a product is drawn from thefirst author’s personal experiences working in industry. This paper will describe the instructionaldesign process, the learning objectives and student perceptions of learning in this designchallenge project in a first year design course. This paper will be of interest for those who teachfirst year engineering students.IntroductionThere are
nation’s most accessible institutions in higher education, community colleges havehistorically and continue to enroll students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds(Carales & Hooker, 2019). In an increasingly technology-driven world, the demand for professionalsskilled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields is growing at anunprecedented rate. As technology continues to transform industries and reshape our daily lives, theneed for a strong STEM workforce has become paramount. Community colleges play a crucial rolein addressing these needs by providing accessible and affordable education. This study will explorethe experiences of STEM students at a community college that is a Hispanic Serving Institution
Paper ID #42007Validity Evidence for the Sophomore Engineering Experiences SurveyMiss Fanyi Zhang, Purdue University Fanyi is a third-year Ph.D. student at Purdue University. She majors in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and works as a Graduate Research Assistant for the Women in Engineering program. Her area of interest focuses on conceptualizing and promoting flourishing and understanding the dynamics of positive relationships. Her current research agenda includes developing a mentor support framework and promoting the effective design of mentor training.Dr. Beth M. Holloway, Purdue University Beth Holloway is
as they would have hoped… Interviewer: How do people find out that they’re kind of mandatory? Isabel: They find out when they don’t get promoted. They find out, like, too late, I think.Isabel’s comments on the mis-construction of stretches as optional and non-essential calls for asecond look at words of another interviewee, Olivia, who indicated that stretches are moreimportant later on in one’s career (not in the early stages), and at a large organization (not thesmaller organization she currently works for). Olivia did not appear to feel that much work wasmake-or-break for her now—things at her organization were collaborative, generously assessed,and straightforward. However, even Olivia’s assessment might not be so simple—we

This trend is notable inthat the professions and industries that employ engineers recognize the value of crea�vity,interdisciplinarity, novel thinking and solu�ons, and that diverse employees, including those who areneurodivergent, are key to increased success in their fields (Grandin, 2022; Taylor et al., 2019) and roleslike na�onal security (Weinbaum, Khan, Thomas, & Stein, 2023), crea�ng an ongoing gap between thetype of graduate supplied and the actual demands of these sectors.Another missing factor for faculty cri�cal self-awareness is the rela�vely recent impacts of neoliberalismon U.S. higher educa�on since the late twen�eth century to present (Olssen &
not knowing about grant opportunities or collaborations with teams that people are forming, and in these days, it’s very hard to write a grant by yourself.She continued to explain that the lack of access to informal networks has the potential tonegatively impact productivity or efficiency. An associate professor in a different department atResearch University II, wondered, “maybe men just feel more comfortable working with men.”Another faculty member explained that although the university had hired more women, there isno mechanism to bring women faculty together. She stated: People would say, “Oh, yeah. We have like 15% of woman faculty which is higher than the national average.” That doesn’t mean anything. I think maybe
