rising energy prices create a renewed opportunityto move U.S. public policy and engineering education in a mutually beneficial direction. Callsfor change in the way energy education occurs are certainly not new, and earlier expressions ofconcern are a good source for our current reflection. Writing in 1973, the highly respectedRepublican legislator Howard Baker pondered the then-current oil supply shortage.4 Heconcluded that well-developed education programs linking environmental attitudes with energyuse could have a strong and lasting impact on energy consumption behaviors in the country.

education.For most of civil engineering degree programs in the U.S. universities, design classes are oftenrequired for students pursuing a career in structural engineering (i.e. students with a structuralfocus). Currently, most of the colleges/universities offer a variety of design classes for studentsentering junior and senior years, including steel design, reinforced concrete design, and timberand masonry design. Sometimes, elective options for more design related topics are offered, suchas bridge design, seismic design, and structural loads. While there are many class offeringsrelated to structural design, it is also possible for a civil engineering student to complete B.S.program with only two entry level design classes. This situation makes the

. Implications for student support in those differentclassroom contexts are described.1. IntroductionMany engineering programs recruit from the upper echelon of high school students, meaning thatmost incoming engineering students begin their college careers with strong academic credentials.Given the high GPAs and standardized test scores (cognitive factors) of the majority of incomingstudents, it seems clear that these students have the cognitive capacity to succeed at theuniversity. However, what we see instead is a large number of students not performing to theirpotential, or worse yet failing courses and being forced to drop out or change majors. Thisobservation suggests a number of unmeasured non-cognitive factors that play an important rolein

especially important in the engineering fields where knowledge based learningmust be overcome; where synthesis becomes the mark of the true engineer. Synthesis, the interrelation of material, is difficult for many students. The question oftenasked, but seldom answered is; “Why are we doing this?”. The real questions being asked are;“How is everything related and how are solutions formulated?” Questions that can be answeredquickly and visually since many learn visually. Looking at life, a subject not easily trivialized, is a prime example of all of the above. Aterribly complex thing to sort through, life can be mapped using three words.

Specifically, the goal is to develop a new database of industry-based problems andexamples tailored to fit into courses across the core curriculum.A central tenet of ANT is its emphasis on the interaction between material and human actors. Inkeeping with that approach, t​he primary data source for the study was an inventory ofcurriculum-related materials drawn from across the undergraduate program.
