research. There are severalother leading research universities outside of the Big 10+ umbrella who also need to provide in-put toward composing a collective vision for the profession. For the moment, however, the Big10+ universities provide a convenient framework to begin this discussion. The Big 10+ group decided to focus its effort on composing a collective vision for CEE re-search thrusts into the foreseeable future. This paper is intended to broadly engage the CEE pro-fession in an important discussion about CEE research thrusts, education, practice, and accredita-tion.Current Research Thrusts Current research thrusts in engineering are dominated by the infusion of nanotechnology,bioengineering and information technology into the

Modern Civil Engineering technology incorporated into thecourse included AutoCAD (2019 version) and ArcGIS 10.3.1 as drafting and mapping softwarepackages, respectively, each of which is widely used in the Civil Engineering industry.Furthermore, new Nikon NPL 322+ Reflectorless Total Stations greatly enhanced the coursemodule in surveying, enabling students to collect existing elevation data for the project in a moreefficient way that is commensurate with current industry practices.

Thesurvey is divided into four sets of 11 questions based on the four areas of STEM. An examplequestion was, “I am interested in careers that involve engineering.” The same survey was givenimmediately after the camp.Qualitative data was collected in the pre and post surveys, as well as daily journals. The open-ended questions included, “What made you choose to come to this camp?”; “Name in order thethree biggest influences on your choice of career in the future;” “Tell me about your experiencewith STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields;” “What is yourperception of
