This has occurred in many settings, including discussions in TELPhE division sessionsat ASEE conferences. This paper describes how one mechanical engineering program revised itscurriculum and in the process both reduced the number of credits needed for graduation andopened up flexibility in the program that enables the addition of courses on non-technicalsubjects or on technological literacy.

This body of work has indicated consistently that underrepresented children andyouth are less likely to develop STEM identities or pursue career pathways than non-minoritystudents, especially in the field of engineering [9], and the choices made by children, especiallyunderrepresented children, to pursue various STEM disciplines are strongly associated with theirperceptions of self-efficacy, competence, interest, social support, and the discipline’s costs andbenefits [10], [11], [12].

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.
