This paperdemonstrates how a virtual gaming environment can be used to teach project-based learning andteamwork using the Minecraft Education Edition. The positives, but also the limitations andchallenges are summarized using both data and qualitative feedback from over 200 students inMIT’s Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP). Students were asked to build avirtual emergency shelter on the MIT campus according to strict requirements, and teams werescored both on the size of their facility, but also adherence to the
much more. To do so, they require capturing, processing, and interpreting data.Considerable design work is required to ensure that data captured within smart cities can actuallybe used to inform decisions. For smart cities and the sensed infrastructure they comprise to be aswidely adopted, as current interest suggests they will be, future engineers will need to be familiarwith both the design and data aspects of smart cities. Today’s engineering students will be thosefuture engineers. Our junior-level Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) project course has typicallyincluded a project involving sensing and data analysis. This year, for the first time, we deployeda project that used smart cities as the context for a project requiring

The adaptive vegetation and grass swales are used to create new habitats for thewildlife around the site, which helps to make the site sustainable by providing more usable spaceand resources for the wildlife that live in the area. Check dams considered as grey infrastructureare constructed to eradicate the current runoff issue. The goal is to blend grey and greeninfrastructure solutions to develop a sustainable solution for the ecosystem and environment.This project not only requires students to apply the knowledge of Civil Engineering in designingthe structures but also to learn about ecology to promote sustainability
