Nevertheless, there has been no systematic documentation of such use bygraduate students and/or professors. Furthermore, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, thedatabase has never been used directly before as an educational tool at the undergraduate level.Typically, for term projects in introductory transportation classes, students select their topicbased solely on their interests, or alternatively, the instructor assigns specific topics.The goal of this paper is to identify opportunities to improve instruction around the use of theRNS database as a means to identify and select a course project topic in transportationengineering.

These challenges suggest not only variability inimplementation but also a critical gap in the standardization of accessible educational practicesacross the field. Additionally, these challenges have been made even more difficult in the onlinelearning environment, where digital accessibility issues increase considerably.

Generic engineeringcompetencies in this context are defined as attributes, competencies, or skills that are importantto graduates across all engineering disciplines. Communication and social skills are examples [3-4], but more broadly, the identified inadequacies represent gaps in project management andleadership skills needed to create and get buy-in for a community vision [5].Our work-in-progress explores how engineers develop awareness

Does our engineering curriculum prepare our graduates to deal withsuch complexity?The authors suggest that the current approach to the engineering curriculum is out of step withthe current practice of engineering.
