Turpen’s work involves designing and researching contexts for learn- ing within higher education (for both students and faculty). Her research draws from perspectives in an- thropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences. Through in-situ studies of classroom practice and institutional practice, she focuses on the role of culture in science learning and educational change. She pursues projects that have high potential for leveraging equitable change in undergraduate STEM pro- grams and she makes these struggles for change a direct focus of her research efforts. She also serves on several national leadership bodies

This is evidence that some students with weaker academicpreparation, especially in Omaha, are already taking additional English classes beyond the onetechnical writing class required by the B.S. Civil Engineering curriculum. In Lincoln, studentswith <19 on the ACT English subscore (though few) must take an additional English class.

first step in reachinga judgment is a need to fully understand the goals of the traditional engineering laboratory. Oncethese goals are determined, ABET can determine whether a simulated or remote course is anadequate substitution for traditional hands-on experience. In January 2002, ABET held acolloquy to solicit input from a select group of experts to determine a taxonomy of engineeringlaboratory learning objectives. A list of 13 learning objectives was created that participants feltadequately describes the goals of the engineering laboratory. However, the participants of thecolloquy requested that the list be validated and any new issues or challenges related toachieving the objectives be documented.

Therefore, while they may be prerequisites to second-year courses, first-yearengineering programs are not necessarily integrated into the curriculum. Further, since they areoften designed with little consideration for existing models, overall outcomes and content varywidely. This leads to, first, the issue of course developers “reinventing the wheel” as successfulmodels are not adequately disseminated. The problem is exacerbated by a lack of definition offirst year models: a developer may know what they want in a course, but how do they find acourse with similar outcomes with nothing more than “first-year
