They basically don’t see it as a viable replacement for a technical course,”and “There's the rub: courses don't count toward graduation; advisors don't recommend thembecause it seems inefficient. The concept of an investment eludes both advisor and student.”In a recent article describing a graduate-level, credit-bearing Computer Science

However, despite the significantamount of time spent in the home environment, there remains a dearth of research specificallyinvestigating the nature and impact that home-based, out-of-school learning may have on thelearning supports for and engagement with STEM disciplines [17].Compared to curriculum-focused approaches typical of formal STEM education, home-basedSTEM learning embraces families’ own cultures and lived experiences (i.e., funds of knowledge)[18].

Suppose the device that is being used is not capable of handlinghigh bandwidth data over the internet, then handling the Wi-Fi connection with hundreds ofmegabytes of the video is not going to be possible. The capable hardware ranges from the iPodTouch to super smartphones and tablet computers.

Fry12 has also discussed the importance of “design thinking” inengineering education and underscores the value of multidisciplinary teams. Until designpractices are fully integrated into engineering curricula, capstone design programs will bear asubstantial burden to better prepare undergraduates for careers that inevitably emphasize the“practice” of design.At RIT, the infusion of multidisciplinary design into the curriculum represents a strategicimperative for the KGCOE. Without strong top-down commitment, the likelihood of making anoticeable impact on the broader challenge outlined above seems remote. In addition to theMSD program discussed in this paper

The surveyaims to address the following questions:•   What are the factors that affect why women and minorities choose to pursue education in civil engineering?•   What aspects of the civil engineering curriculum and course work do students find particularly motivating and interesting? Do students feel that they have a mentor? What kind of work experience and internships have students had? Are they members of student/professional engineering organizations? Do the answers to this question depend on the gender or ethnic/racial
