Freshmen can relate better to upperclassmen who are their peers andwho more recently have experienced what it takes to “make it in engineering.” Upperclassmen,particularly those with a proven track record of academic achievement and leadership, are morecredible sources and powerful role models for engineering freshmen. This assumption formedthe basis for development of a pilot freshman retention program, “Fast Track to Achievement.”The primary strategy of this program is to engage teams of upperclassmen in dialogue withgroups of freshmen in a series of workshops focusing on three themes

Ethics is a key component in engineering practice; therefore, an ethics module that ended with a class-wide debate on current engineering/technology ethical issues was introduced. Ethics is forming an increasingly essential part of the engineering curriculum and exposing student to it early in their academic career helps to hone their ethical principles in better preparation for the

This purpose of this paper is to discuss theassessment-based changes that have occurred throughout the course’s history and describe howthe “construct first, design later” philosophy has been successfully integrated throughout theprogram.

He stresses the importance of planting theentrepreneurial seed in the minds of young engineering students. He believes that tomorrow’sengineers must also be good managers and leaders.Bordogna (1998) calls the future civil engineer “the master integrator” because he/she mustunderstand civil infrastructure as a system. In addition to possessing up-to-date technicalknowledge, civil engineers must thus know “how to do things right” as well as “the right things todo.”In today’s world where fast communications made it easy to shrink distances and implementglobalization, one should also

This analysis determines the impact on the system (severity), process, and stakeholders.

In addition, a lab notebook is required to document allexercises with an emphasis on data integrity, and ethics of recording and presentation. Althoughanalysis associated with most lab exercises is done within the lab group, the analysis from fourexercises is done individually. Combined with individual effort from the lecture portion of thecourse, 50% of the grade is individual while 50% is team based.
