meeting both the developmental skills desired byindustry and the diverse learning needs of the student population1 (Felder, 2003). The challengesthat confronts the new faculty then goes beyond a lack of adequate preparation at graduateschool to include a changing engineering pedagogy that embraces more innovative teachingpractices that include aspects of active learning, cooperative learning and the use of technology-based courses. In 1991 the National Science Foundation (NSF) began funding engineeringschools to initiate reforms to engineering education. This included the SUCCEED program thatinitially included eight institutions1. The primary focus of SUCCEED was the development andinstitutionalization of innovative teaching materials and

The firstsession is a formal overview of ethics as related to engineering work and it is focused on appliedethics as part of a profession. Example case studies related to electrical and computerengineering and general profession life are included.

ongoing process. ‘MOM in Action’ is one teaching aid in the educational tool kit thatincorporates insights on human learning to improve the impact of instruction. Can the impact ofusing ‘MOM in Action’ be measured? To answer this we must ask what it means to have a BS inthe fast changing technological society. Does engineering education transcend the simple sum ofall the course content? Would time spend in incorporating ‘MOM in Action’ in textbooks and lec-tures be better spent in solving another numerical example or covering an extra topic? The authorsbelieve that education and neuroscience research suggests that ‘MOM in Action’ course enrich-ment might have a positive impact on student learning and retention of concepts.The authors also

Self-efficacy in the skills and characteristicsperceived as necessary to the major has also been noted as a motivator for choice of major3. Aprominent explanation for women’s selective representation across engineering disciplines hasbeen that women prefer majors in which the benefit to society is most clear5,13. The socialbenefits of science and technology seem to be much more important to women than to malestudents in similar fields11. As a

principles of sustainabilityxii, and their expression in engineeringpractice, is required of all civil engineers.There are social, economic, and physicalxiii aspects of sustainability. The latter includes bothnatural resources and the environment. Technology affects all three and a broad, integrativeunderstanding is necessary in support of the public interest. Beyond that, special competence isrequired in the scientific understanding of natural resources and the environment, which are thefoundation of all human activity; and the integration of this knowledge into practical designs thatsupport and sustain human development.

in analyzing the results of the engineering learning community stemmed from twosources. First, the engineering learning community was initiated by faculty in mathematics andengineering interested in improving the retention of first year engineering majors and was fundedby the National Science Foundation through the Science, Technology and Engineering TalentExpansion Program. Second, the engineering learning community was one of several learningcommunity experiences considered a part of the university Quality Expansion Plan for universityaccreditation. The university’s goal was to increase first year retention across the universitythrough these experiences. The engineering learning community is the only learning communityof those originally
. Page 25.1058.3Phase 1 (EPICS documentation)The Servant Engineering program began in the spring of 2010. At that time there were 39students, both sophomores and juniors, working on seven projects. The group size for eachproject ranged from 5-6 students and was purposely multi-disciplinary in their organization. Theprojects were chosen to fit into the following four tracks: education outreach, communityservice, appropriate technology for overseas, and assistive technologies. There were two facultyadvisers: one responsible for three groups and the other for four groups.In order to track the progress of a groups’ effort, documentation from EPICS was used withlimited editing. At the time of implementation, these resources involved a design
