Bycapturing the imagination of young minds and equipping them with a foundational understandingof civil engineering, the summer course is not just educating future students; it is contributing tothe development of the workforce that will shape tomorrow's infrastructure.Past students have gone on to enroll in civil engineering as well as other engineering programsin college. While further research and time is needed to assess post-graduation outcomes and thetypes of engineering careers these students ultimately enter, the initial indications are promising.These findings support the replication and adaptation of this model across other institutions,suggesting that such educational interventions can

The process of developingthe codebook through open coding was iterative and involved numerous conversations amongthe coders and other members of the research team. The creation of a codebook was an initialstep towards establishing IRR between coders within a research team by allowing each coder tocompare their work to the established definitions.

professionaldevelopment of college-level teaching staff. While novice instructors often have an instructor-centered view of teaching and, consequently, use traditional teaching formats, professionaldevelopment programs (PDPs) are most often based on a constructivist framework that favorsstudent-centered learning scenarios. Prior research suggests that the development of instructors’beliefs about teaching can be interpreted in terms of conceptual change, and that PDPs shouldtake this perspective into account. This study documents instructors’ changes in the perceptionof their own teaching in the context of a professional development seminar based on conceptualchange.
