order to demonstrate synthesisof topics covered throughout the entire course. The career plan also required students to performself-assessment and independent research, as well as short-term and long-term goal setting.While designing the course content and activities, I also devised a teaching plan for each lessonunit. Each plan outlined the following: objectives of the unit; specific teaching practices that Iwould employ to meet these objectives; and a breakdown of classroom time for all discussionsand activities determined for the unit. Guided by these teaching plans in the classroom, I wasable to rely heavily on the active and cooperative learning practices and minimize the amount oflecturing. For example, I would begin a class by asking

The curricular and the support strategies were built on high impact edu-cation practices that had shown to enhance the learning and the engagement of women andunderrepresented minority students in STEM. Research shows active-learning pedagogy suchas hands-on collaborative student-centered learning enhances the success of underrepresentedminority students in STEM [1, 4]. In this paper, we describe the work done to address the three critical areas. In particular: 1.

Because over 50 experienced civil engineers participated in these deliberations, consensus was achieved without ever having to resort to a vote of the participants. 2. After this “professional practice” line was set, the committee then determined what level of achievement was proper at the time of graduation from an undergraduate civil engineering program. Again, consensus was reached without having to vote, largely as a result of the preparatory work done by the committee in developing the explanations and

For example, engineering graduates need to have the broadeducation necessary to understand the impact of civil engineering solutions in a globaland societal context.

High performing industry teams alsodemand both task and team orientations to insure successful outcomes2. But the literaturediverges once these components are dissected. For instance, individual ability has long beenthought to be key to successful outcomes. However, Bass 3 reported that the relationship betweenproductivity and individual contributions was weak at best. It also appears that the impact ofindividual abilities declines as the interactive nature of the task increases 1,4,5. The same is truefor gender composition on teams.

In addition, educators at differentinstitutions may be a source for successful continuous improvement activities [6]. Lastly, someprograms use exit exams as a tool to gather data.

The need for students to gain confidence in their ability to solve problems. This may be one of the mostimportant character traits that can be developed in a student as he/she advances toward graduation. Thedifference between an entry-level engineer with average problem-solving skills and one with better problem-solving skills is many times reflected merely by the amount of confidence that the person displays. One ofthe best ways to nurture this maturation process is to have students begin a laboratory course performingsimple experiments, then continue through the semester performing experiments
