The study by Lattuca, Terenzini & Volkwein (2006) 24 indicatethat the EC2000 was having a positive impact on engineering education, including the teachingof basic science, math, and engineering science skills. However, the study did reveal that post-EC2000 students were experiencing ”somewhat chillier diversity climate” than pre-EC2000students. Notwithstanding, according to ABET (2005) 25, “accreditation criteria do not addressthe cultivation of a diverse learning environment, and its Board of Directors heard very clearlyfrom its constituents that it should not mandate diversity goals as part of its standards.” (p13) Assuch, the imperative to

I got to see (from the students point of view) how some of the effective teaching techniques used by Mentor was working - e.g., engaging student in solving problems in a stepwise manner. As part of the class, Mentor provided tips to the students on the upcoming exam. This included review of problems, discussion on problem types/variations that could show up on the exam. This review class, in my view, was putting the students at ease and focusing them on the topics/contents they need to pay attention to for the exam.• It was good.

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

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

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
