First, students were asked to reflect on what they believed would have beendifferent about their site observations and data collection efforts had we not experienced theeffects of the COVID pandemic (see Figure 1). Second, students were asked to imagine thatduring their site visits, they might have had the chance to interview local stakeholders about theirexperience with civil infrastructure in their communities, whom would they have interviewed.While for virtual students their study-site was their home neighborhood, even those living oncampus were limited to campus-adjacent

Systems thinking is essential for engineers to understandhow systems work and the factors influencing the function of the system [6], a frameworknecessary to understand complex problems. Through the application of engineering systemsprinciples and using systems design, students in the MELP program will acquire the knowledgeand skills necessary for the understanding of policy and law as a system and how law, policy,and engineering converge.

This was rated evenhigher by both student groups, 4.1-4.4 for the undergraduates and 4.2-4.3 for the graduatestudents.The relatively high level of interest might be explained by the strong perception of relevance,but it is interesting to note that both aspects dropped slightly in both groups following thecomputer lab itself.

Recruitment and retention of women and minorities is criticalto closing the predicted gap in the nation’s STEM workforce. Women make up about one half ofthe population and Hispanics about 19%. More so, the projected number of Hispanics in the UnitedStates is expected to double by 2060 [2].

Indeed, industry now seeks employees withnon-technical skills that are traditionally not acquired during traditional undergraduate engineeringeducation, such as creativity and collaboration [3], [4]. The need for students to acquire these 21stcentury skills is reflected in papers published by the Organization for Economic Co-Development—OECD [5] and the US National Research Council—NRC [6]. More specifically inengineering higher education, the ABET [7] student outcomes also list some of these skills.However, students’ academic achievement levels rarely correspond to their respective levels of21st century

As a part of these critical conversations, the students were exposed to theChinese culture and people. At the heart of the Chinese civilization is its rich heritage of novels,short stories, poetry, drama, and, more recently, film. The artistic pieces reflect the values, thestruggles, the sensibility, the joys, and the sorrows of Chinese people, which often offers insightsinto even the most intimate feelings of people. These works help participating students understandwhat was behind the language, what makes the culture powerful, and how groups of peopleactually function in Chinese society.

engineering shows the significantpotential of cognitive development through direct experience and reflection on what works inparticular situations. Of course, the complex nature of the construction industry in the twenty-first century cannot afford an education through trial and error in the real environment. However,recent advances in gamification, especially digital games, can help educators develop game-based pedagogical strategies. These novel strategies allow students to explore various scenariosand learn from their experiences in controlled settings. Designing and implementing effectivegame-based pedagogical strategies is a complex and multidisciplinary endeavor that may befinancially expensive and time-consuming. Despite the considerable
