Then by providing studentswith a university visit with fun social components and innovative engineering lab activities wecan provide a second opportunity for students to begin envisioning themselves in the role offuture college student and maybe even a future engineer.References[1] Koller, E., Beek, L., Besser, D., Guzey, S., & Thomas, A.

teams that evolve by student self-selection processes over time that most often provide these benefits, while success in assignedteams may not be as prevalent. Thus, educators may benefit from observing and examining theinformal, self-assembled working teams students create in order to modify the way theyorganize, assign, diagnose, and support more formal project teams within courses and classroom.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the National Science Foundation for theirsupport of this work under the REESE program (grant numbers DRL-0909817, 0910143,0909659, 0909900, and 0909850).

interactionsof society and engineering.Since its inception in the early 2000’s, CvEEN 1000 has consistently used the history andheritage of the profession as a vehicle for course delivery. In recent years, the course has moredeeply integrated contemporary issues and history and heritage via two primary class activities:an instructor-guided study of an historic civil engineering project or event (the Example Project),and a team-based student research project of a different historic or significant contemporaryproject. The instructor-guided project introduces the students to a large variety of civilengineering related topics. It also provides a role model and example by which student groupsthen research and present (orally and in written form) an assigned

Motivation & BackgroundThe professional practices course was developed to address difficulties with soft topic coveragein the degree plan used for many years, along with increased needs that arose from broadeningthe available degree programs and heightened expectations for computing curricula. Throughoutthe 80's and 90's, the CSE department offered a single undergraduate degree in ComputerScience and Engineering. The first year of the program included a one-hour college-levelcommon course (1104) Introduction to Engineering to provide exposure to the diversity ofchallenges in engineering, along with another one-hour departmental course (1105) Introductionto
