Engineering – The Social Experiment: An Analysis of Engineering Curriculum and Industry Expectations
Science policy and curriculum go hand in. The future engineers are taught hand calculations, lab testing for field work parallels, and methodologies based on the written policies set forth decades ago. Technology today is rapidly changing, and engineering education is struggling to make changes to keep up with these technology advancements. In today’s world, technology drives invention and innovation, whereas some argue it is thought and curiosity. Engineering programs are taking a toll regardless of the point of view. Education is not made to keep up with current societal needs.
This paper a provides an overview of the history of engineering, curriculum standards for engineering programs, an analysis of engineering programs at top universities and large universities alongside student experiences available to engineers. The ideas offered are no means the exact solution; rather policymakers and STEM education stakeholder may find the ideas shared helpful and use them as a catalyst for change.
This project aims to determine what students struggle with in these courses and develop multimedia content to support their education in Dynamics specifically.
This podcast focused on the experience of women in the field of STEM and more specifically civil engineering. The episodes will explore three main topics surrounding women in the workforce: how women navigate and succeed in a workforce with a predominantly male presence, whether or not women experience “impostor syndrome,” and how to deal with being undermined in the workforce. Also available on Spotify!
