Table 3 displays some codes such as “soldering,” “simulating a circuit,”and “collaboration in the lab.” At this stage, we started to notice and identify which codes wererelated to challenging experiences, to rewarding experiences, or to both types of experiencessimultaneously. This was the first step in categorizing our codes, and it was the first point in ourprocess that paved the way for generating the CARE methodology, using the notions ofchallenging and rewarding experiences. Thus, we created two codebooks, one including all thecodes related to rewarding experiences, and the other including the codes related to

While they might not identify theexact role (computer engineer versus biomedical engineer), they maintained realistic, flexibleideas, reflecting on successful role models they aspired to be like. For example, Trinity from Zetaidentified her own assets: Definitely working with, not myself, but with a group. Being able to work with others and help them or teach them. Not really teach, but lead... Because I’ve watched other people, who are like engineers or... I just want to be like them when I’m older. Just, yeah, they give me all the inspiration.Trinity emphasized how engineers worked collaboratively and articulated

Describing a castle she and a friend builtusing engineering principles, she told us, “That's really where I first saw imagination really tieinto engineering, and then from there I've been able to see imagination in other parts ofengineering. It's been a lot easier to identify it since then” (00:26:51).Importance of people with different skillsets working together Becca gave several responses that suggest her engineering identity includes being an imaginativeand creative collaborator.

One social event per semester also focuses on cultural immersion. Collaborations with multicultural groups across campus have also aided this study. The results suggest that through new intercultural initiatives, participants show an increase in Cultural SelfAwareness (knowledge), Openness (skills) and Empathy (attitude). A significant number of participants are enthusiastic about learning about crosscultural differences and attending cultural appreciation events and have learned how to apply these skills more broadly due to the efforts of this study.

Mirmiran [12] sought to incorporate a comprehensive concrete lab and field experience inthe reinforced concrete structures course based on feedback from alumni and local industry. Priorto this, concrete testing was “limited and combined with other materials in a one-credit structurallab.” Mirmiran coordinated the lectures and laboratory experiments as much as possible whilealso incorporating nondestructive testing (NDT) into the curriculum. The primary focus of thislab was NDT testing of material samples and not reinforced concrete testing.

Required for all CEE undergraduates,CEE 3000 is intended to introduce students to sustainability from a systems perspective. Thecourse includes three modules: Systems and Sustainability Perspectives, Systems PerformanceAnalysis, and Economic Decision-Making Tools and Project Evaluation. In addition, students arerequired to complete a final project that requires a sustainability analysis of an existing civilinfrastructure system. More recently, a new elective entitled Sustainable Engineering (CEE4803/8813) was created for students to further enrich their knowledge of sustainability.

Even though standards, like engineering itself(10) , are under constant development in “an iterative process of comment, feedback, andrevision,” (16), it seems timely for the K-12 engineering education community to get on boardwith the initial science standards development. The NAE Standards Committee, itself, wrote that,“… there is enough agreement about most of the major ideas to suggest that a consensus couldbe reached through thoughtful, collaborative deliberation, (3 p. 30)”. Achieving a consensus amongst experts on the major ideas of the subject is the first stepin creating

This ties in with a broader impact of this project, which is to better prepare the nextgeneration of engineering educators from the training we develop and implement. Some of theIAs who participate in this project have a strong interest in engineering education careers, andthe IA training they receive from this project will better prepare them as engineering educators.Oral exams are also excellent opportunities for technical conversations, similar to those seen inindustry interviews or in authentic team collaborations. IA training for this project, thus,translates beyond academic careers and can be of value to IAs focused on industry careers.Develop

In many cases, the mentor vis-à-vis role model andprotégé(s) will most likely never meet again, so first impressions often become ONLYimpressions.

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

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.
