CIVIL ENGINEERING CAREERS: A USER'S GUIDE FOR AWARENESS, RETENTION, AND CURRICULUM PROGRAMS. NCHRP REPORT 347-PART II

This User's Guide details strategies for implementing various programs to provide students with an awareness of civil and transportation engineering careers, to retain students who have the interest, and to affect curriculums that relate the relevance of class material to such careers. These programs have been referred to as the ARC (Awareness, Retention, and Curriculum) model. The Guide supplements previously published NCHRP Report 347, "Civil Engineering Careers: Awareness, Retention, and Curriculum" (TRIS 624770), which documented the first phases of a three-phase NCHRP project and, in general terms, suggested the ARC model. This Guide, i.e., NCHRP Report 347-Phase II, covers the third phase designed to expand the ARC model.
