Job Excelling and Creating Graduates - Attract and retain the very best students by our leadership in producing graduates widely known for not only being in great demand for existing jobs, but for their understanding of, and unique preparation for, creating jobs.These goals led to the definition of specific educational objectives for the College, suchas:1. Cutting Edge Education a. Improve the student/faculty ratio to at most 15/1 in every school, which will require increasing the faculty by 40-50%. b. Increase project-based, multidisciplinary educational opportunities. c. Increase our focus on technology-based learning to enable educational innovation. d. Improve the educational infrastructure.2.

The intersection of race, gender, and socioeconomic status even further uniquely intensifies these barriers, compounding systemic disadvantages and creating distinct challenges not experienced by females from more privileged economic backgrounds. Empowering marginalized commu- nities necessitates systemic efforts to expose young girls of color to STEM education in environments that affirm their identities and foster sustained engagement.

engineering codes and procedures. There is much that engineering students andengineers can learn from failures, and failures play an important role in engineering design.Therefore, there is a recognized need for failure awareness in the undergraduate engineeringcurriculum. This need has been documented in a number of papers and at a number ofconferences over the past 15 years. This project is a specific response to that need, and willprovide much needed access to thoroughly developed examples, and a heightened appreciationof the role failure analysis knowledge can play in higher education and public safety. The expected outcomes of this project will be educational materials on failure casestudies for use in civil engineering and engineering

subproblems and deciding how to approach each one. This topic is especially important because many engineers work on design teams, and themembers of a team need to work together to carry out the design process. An ad hoc approach toplanning the design process will create confusion and increase the risks of project failure (e.g.,poor product or system performance as well as cost and schedule overruns). Despite the growing need for design process planning skills, existing engineering educationprograms fail to provide opportunities for engineering students to learn these meta-reasoning skills.Many engineering students learn only standard product and systems development processes [2, 3].In a typical engineering design course, the students follow
