Similar to our factors, recent studies have shown thatnegatively worded items can often load together even after being reverse-scored and should bepositively worded to align with current best practices [10]. Adopting this approach beforeadministering the survey in the spring semester of 2023 will allow us to examine the possibilityof newly emergent factors, which could address currently missing mindsets present in the EMframework.

Within this topic, as well as others mentioned so far, the aim is to be able to have a graduate who will develop the common sense to be able to say “this will not work” despite the presence of construction drawings based on civil engineering design indicating to the contrary. In a way, we are after creating a culture that can picture the design basics and do their best to make sure the construction conforms to the specific intentions of the designing engineers. g.

Perhaps thegreatest achievement in such an endeavor is to improve the “relevancy” of engineeringeducation, by bringing the college closer to the “realities” on the ground. There is a tremendousneed

Many engineering schools realize theimportance of laying a strong foundation of ethics with engineering students to complement theirtechnical knowledge [6]. In fact, all ABET-accredited engineering programs must demonstratethat their graduates are able to “recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineeringsituations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineeringsolutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.”There are many models of ethics education across four-year

Woodfield (2000), for instance, found that female professionals entering a computingcompany looked forward to working in teams, but found the practical experience of teamworklacking, largely due to conflicts in collaborative styles that led to an under-recognition ofwomen's contributions to the project. Many researchers have reported cases where racism andsexism emerged in team contexts (Hewlett et al., 2008; Ingram and Parker, 2002; Neilsen et al,1998; Tonso, 2007).
