industries are also recognizing that sustainable design leads to better,more economical, longer lasting facilities that are people-friendly. Inevitably, much of majorconstruction in the coming decades will feature sustainable design and construction processes.Sustainability must become a fundamental consideration in all civil engineering design andconstruction. As the leaders of change in fundamental civil engineering processes, it is theresponsibility of civil engineering departments nationwide to lead the movement towardsustainable civil engineering development through research and education of their students. TheASCE code of ethics suggests that failure to do so is a breach of civil engineering educationethics. In addition, to make sustainability

Although they offered a first-year seminar,ETCS was experiencing retention rates to graduation of less than 50%, with the majority ofstudents leaving by the end of the second year. To improve retention rates, college facultymodified the existing Introduction to Engineering course, which previously followed thehistorical format of a seminar series about engineering professions. The new high-tech formatallows for student development of computer and personal skills necessary to succeed inengineering curriculums. The main focus of the new introduction course is the design andconstruction of an autonomous mobile robot by student teams, similar to the CSU, Chico model.The project requires students to apply

betweenengineering education researchers and machine learning researchers, we can work together at theintersection of machine learning and discipline-based education research. During the qualitativecoding process, we shared multiple perspectives on how students could discuss differentconcepts so that we could work towards making a more diverse codebook. When evaluating thecodes generated by machine learning analysis alongside the results from manual coding, wediscussed how to best work towards a better coding process to help train algorithms.LimitationsThis study did not factor in the differences between instructors and their context or instructionalmoves.

The mission of the AFL is multifaceted, but highlyfocused on student learning. Essentially, students are provided the opportunity to manufacturetheir own parts while being overseen by laboratory staff that provide expert training on not onlymachine operation, but also on safety best-practices.

In a way, it is as if engineering schools sometimes gavetheir students the implicit message that it is possible for engineers to work

Specifically, a single interaction or experience (such as a co-op) cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation in engineering or anotherfield.1 Further, research suggests that cooperative education and internships result in increasedsocial and cultural capital of those who participate, which can contribute to their ability to secureemployment after graduation.2 Student perceptions of the engineering field, which can be shapedby undergraduate work experiences, can also impact persistence in engineering programs.3-7While there is a growing literature examining the relationship

With her background in industry, she is keenly aware that the sector-wide academisation and de-contextualisation of engineering education is leading to an engineering sectorthat struggles to relate theory to practice. Patricia teaches creative design modules that give students tools and techniques (Human-centered design, VR collaborative design tools) to find their own brand of creativity in engineering design, while prompting students to consider how their individualprivilege and biases impact on their design decisions.Dr. Catherine Groves , Swansea University A Chartered Occupational Psychologist and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, Catherine draws on over 20 years

knowledge introduced to the cadetsduring the first quarter of the course. Experience 2 shows that students learn and develop problemsolving skills best through a three-step process: (1) Introduction: knowledge of the skill or toolis introduced in a traditional lecture manner. (2) Bridging: understanding the skill begins byusing it, generally on a familiar situation. (3) Application: confidence and competence with theskill are strengthened by extending the use to a new situation. In Engr 110Z, Mini-Workshops4,5and structured homework assignments were used to accomplish Steps (1) and (2). For Step (3),strengthening the skill was inherent in applying it to the Mars mission project.Mini-Workshops – Each mini-workshop was designed around an Assignment

situation, coupled with the growing demand for a technically skilledlabor force, business leaders, policymakers, educational institutions, and activists haveresponded by crafting numerous outreach campaigns to appeal to women to becomeengineers. For the most part, there has been a tendency to see any effort to recruit womento engineering as positive, with little consideration given to the manner in which suchcampaigns are designed to achieve their goals. In this paper, I offer a critical examinationof three prominent outreach strategies and how they present ideas about how best toengage women in engineering. I argue that the messaging in all of these programscharacterizes women as a homogenous entity, without considering questions of
curricula with industrial needs. The proposed three-year project would focus on: a) identifying curricular activities exhibiting astrong correlation with student co-op work performance; b) designing andimplementing processes allowing the systematic use of employer assessment incurriculum design; c) evaluating the impact of changes in curricular design uponstudent work performance; d) piloting and contrasting projects in both differentacademic fields and at different colleges; and e) developing a set of best practicesto be used for further refinement and dissemination of the process.

Needless to say,this project was an extremely well-received and worthwhile experience.INDUSTRIAL SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAMThe number of scholarships and job offers received by Cal Poly graduates interested ingeotechnical engineering indicates that industry supports the hands-on approach. Manypractitioners recruit almost exclusively at Cal Poly because of the practice-oriented educationthat its graduates have received. Interest by the professional community in the Cal Polygeotechnical engineering program has led to tremendous cooperation and support. As discussed

This paperintroduces the methodology of the experiment and reports on the status of the development oflaboratories. A variety of laboratory activities have been developed, including two that have beendeveloped in sensor-based and non-sensor-based versions.The use of technology in the classroomAlthough there are many who assume that the use of classroom technology has

An aspirational goal of this program is that each engineeringstudent will have at least one study and/or research abroad experience before graduation. Furtherthere is need for adaptation of an assessment instrument to evaluate the global skills the studentsdevelop because of these international research experiences. Several instruments are beingconsidered, such as, Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), Global Perspective Inventory(GPI) and Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). 8References1. ASEE.

. Davis illuminates the nature of professional engineering;“knowing engineering ethics is as much a part of knowing how to engineer as knowing how tocalculate stress or design a circuit is. Indeed, insofar as engineering is a profession, knowing howto calculate stress or design a circuit is in part knowing what the profession allows, forbids, orrequires.”1In this paper we look at ethics across the curriculum and implementing engineering ethicseducation via the case methodology. A brief presentation on the history of engineering educationis followed by a discussion of ethics in engineering education. Case methodology is examinedincluding a look at sources for cases and case research. Finally, the two-stage engineering ethicseducation model used by

However, all previouslyreferenced papers follow participants who all have similar engineering and problem-solvingexperience. This paper not only addresses the different ideation methods but also compares theoutcomes between student and practicing engineers. By understanding the importance of learningdifferent ideation methods and detailing how to use them effectively, this paper describes how tooptimize problem-solving to best demonstrate the competencies that employers are seeking.
