Part II of this paper details the challenges experiences in recruitingstudents to participate and student perceptions of this study abroad experience.Institutions of higher education often include within their mission, aims, purposes, or objectivessome mention of preparing students to have an impact upon the world. One accrediting body forconstruction engineering and management programs requires that students receive a sufficientlybroad education where students understand the impact of providing solutions in a global andsocietal context and thus produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce.1 There are
philanthropic contributions to the school. Today, the school’s one- year undergraduate retention rate is 90%, the university’s Solar Decathlon team placed first worldwide in the most recent competition against other leading universities, our Engineers Without Borders chapter is considered one of the nation’s best, and the Engineering Sustainability Workshop launched by Pines has become a key campus event. Pines has testified before Congress on STEM education and created the Top 25 Source Schools program for Maryland high schools. He is also leading a national effort to develop an AP course in Engineering Design in partnership with the College Board. At $144 million, the school’s research expenditures are at a record high
evaluations follow the CEAB’s policies and procedures, but may only lead to a decision of“substantial equivalency” for such programs in foreign institutions. The term “substantialequivalency” means “comparable in program content and educational experience” and it impliesreasonable confidence that the graduates possess the academic competencies needed to beginprofessional practice at the entry level. The CEAB recommends that the Canadian licensingbodies treat graduates of programs evaluated as substantially equivalent as if they were graduatesof CEAB-accredited programs for the period that substantial equivalence is in effect. SinceCEAB accreditation is designed to provide graduates with an education satisfying the academicrequirements for licensure
GREEN’s success.The GO GREEN CourseThe GO GREEN course was developed specifically for engineering and technology students toteach them about sustainable development by looking at best practices in business and industryusing real world examples. (For the purposes of this paper we will use the generally accepteddefinition of “sustainable development,’ which is to meet the needs of the present generationwithout compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.1)The GO GREEN course has three distinct parts: • A portion of the course is taught at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) an urban research university with nearly 30,000 students in Indianapolis, Indiana, prior to the trip to Germany

Many described feeling somewhat unprepared for a variety ofethical situations on the job. Most advocated for greater engineering ethics education, primarilythrough integration into existing engineering courses. Limitations in the work include a fairlysmall sample. The results provide insights into how educational practices are influential in termsof the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of working engineers with respect to ethics andbroader impacts.BackgroundThere are numerous incidents of unethical practices in engineering [1,2,3] and times whennegative impacts to communities and individuals have

Finally, this activity encouragesstudents to practice making explicit connections between mathematical concepts, real-worldengineering problems, and policy.“Graph Theory and Gratitude”In the second activity, designed for the closing weeks of a course, students are invited to writenotes of appreciation, anonymous or otherwise, for peers who have elevated their learningexperience during the semester (additional details in Appendix B). These notes are collected anddistributed to their intended recipients; based on the flow of notes, the instructor constructs ananonymized directed graph (Figure 2).This activity reinforces numerouslearning objectives.

Four years after it wasstarted, the course has shown some impacts within the Department, at the University, on itsgraduates who practice in industry, and internationally.1. Course EvaluationsPart of the outcome of a course is how students think about various aspects of the course. Fromthe first time the course was offered in 1998 until 2001, students have evaluated the course undertwo different standard course evaluation methods. The first standard was used in 1998 and1999

Additionally, because this course is onlyone-credit hour, our goal was to develop an instructional method that was both efficient andeffective. During the past few years we have tried several instructional approaches with varyingresults. This paper
values, self-efficacy and identity. The results provide strong cross-sample evidence of the reliability andvalidity of each of the measures. The results of the multi-model comparative analysis did notfully support the hypothesis (H4), regarding how these constructs may combine to driveengagement in extracurricular engineering-related activities. However, we do find partialsupport for it. Namely, past research [2], found that engineering values operates as a distalmotivator of engagement in engineering-related activities, and the results presented here do notcontradict this finding. Instead they offer a revised model that includes both engineering valuesand identity as distal drivers of engagement with and intervening impact of student self

In addition, CET program specific requirements include that graduatesbe capable of utilizing principles, hardware, and software that are appropriate to producedrawings, reports, quantity estimates, and other documents related to civil engineering. Otherrequirements call for graduates to be capable of applying basic technical concepts to thesolutions of civil problems as well as performing standard analysis and design in at least threeareas.The CET program as a whole is expected to meet the above criteria with contribution from thedifferent courses offered. Integrating GPS and the Civil 3D software into CET courses isbelieved to be a step to help achieve the above mentioned ABET

However,although each of the authors is part of the instruction team, we maintain an analytic tonethroughout the paper, reflecting on the complexity of how curricular activities interacted withstudents’ professional identities.The intent of this paper is not to define a localized set of curricular decisions as a “best practice”in relation to community engagement. Rather, we aim to generate constructive dialogueregarding engineering educators who are fusing engineering with community engagement. Inwhat ways might these curricular experiences inadvertently reinforce

The SCANS report of 20001 identified the following essential workforce skillareas; use of resources, acquiring and using information, interpersonal skills, understandingsystems, selecting and using technology, basic skills, thinking skills, and personal qualities.This report was the starting point for the definition of 21st century Workforce Skills at acommunity college. A college team was assembled to review this report, assess its applicabilityto local employers and community college graduates, and advise on implementation. Localemployers were interviewed to determine which of these Workforce Skills best fit and bestserved graduates of 2 year

Additionally, the project served to initiate the students' professional development in issues of project and time management, writing proposals, and adapting to multiple engineering design changes.§ Engineering panel discussions – Participants included a practicing engineer, a faculty member, an undergraduate student, and a graduate student. The reason for having such diversity was so students can gain insight into the characteristics of the various stages and career paths within each field of engineering. The practicing engineer participants were chosen among alumni (when possible) who expressed an interest in the undergraduate experience. After brief

We recognized that interested individuals mayhave many more resources where they can receive knowledge that traditionally has beenobtained from colleges. To improve college experience of our students, CET takes acollaborative approach among faculty and staff.
