ABET has often stated its commitment to such socially desirable aims.Drawing on the sociology of knowledge and related methods of studying the institutionalconservatism of performance standards, we may recognize the challenges to change inherent inoutcomes-focused education and increase the likelihood of achieving those aims.IntroductionThis paper considers a tension inherent in higher engineering education in the United States. Onone hand, the discipline has for many generations stated its commitment to societal betterment,ethical responsibility, and democratic ideals. The improved health and safety of the public,responsible business conduct, and more recent issues such as environmental sustainability areamong such ideals. These are the aims

There is therefore a need to develop coding courses embedded in engineering curriculathat emphasize the application of coding skills to real-world civil and environmental engineeringproblems.Currently, resources and studies on coding courses taught specifically within civil and environmentalengineering curricula are sparse. A study performed by Grajdura and Neimeier, 2023, interviewedseveral civil and environmental engineering departments across the United States and found thathistorically, coding has been taught in MATLAB, C and C++ but that departments have been slow to

,Texas, the observed temperature difference between ambient and subsurface locations is 8-17°F(4.4-9.4°C), which can be utilized to pre-heat or pre-cool ambient air for commercial andinstitutional facility use. This research proves that hot and humid climates like Houston, Texas, have enoughtemperature difference between the ambient air and underground soil for condensation to occur. The arrangement and total geothermal pipe length determined were grounded by a previousstudy [11]. In this study, the researchers compared the rate of heat exchange between threedifferent coil arrangements: slinky, spiral, and U-shaped configurations. In their testing, theyused copper coils rather than plastic resources due to their higher thermal conductivity

Aftercompleting the freshman design introduction course and a significant percentage of their majorengineering courses (perhaps including design electives), the next required design course was asenior-level design methodology course. Simple design competitions and academic study ofdesign techniques drove the course material.
