As our audience consists of engineering students, the practical application of linear alge-bra is particularly relevant. Regrettably, the previous course did not emphasize this aspect.As an instructor who teaches this course each semester, I have frequently been asked bystudents why Linear Algebra is necessary.

For thisreason, it is important diversity, equity, inclusion and justice work in conjunction with ethicaltenants within civil engineering curricula. Definitions are important to understanding the scopeof this work. The American Society of Civil Engineers pulls from two sources for the definitionof diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. We will use the definition of diversity, equity andinclusion as defined by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology [11].

. Appendix ABig Belly Solar Case StudyBackgroundThe problem of waste management in urban settings is a problem that cities have been workingto tackle for a long time. Recently a number of new technologies, developed in part by engineers,have emerged to help combat common trash problems. The Big Belly Solar trash compactorsystem is one of the technologies that have been widely implemented, including on our owncampus here at Virginia Tech. As with many new technologies, there is some controversy aboutwhether these types of trash cans should be adopted widely, with arguments on either side. Thecases that you will read about look at two perspectives of the Big Belly Solar roll out in the SanFrancisco Bay area--one in the City of San Francisco, and

the role of both civil engineer and architect. In 1818 the Institute of CivilEngineers appeared in Great Britain, and it was not until 1834 that the Royal Institute ofBritish Architects was formed in the same country. The creation of these twoinstitutions gave rise to different specializations in each profession. On the one hand,engineering and structural problems and, on the other hand, design and functionalspecifications [1]. This event initiated the creation of a gap between both constructionbranches that has been growing until today so that even though both professions sharesimilar design objectives the standards experienced are different [2], [3].

such as relationships with parents, familialresponsibilities, and even physical spaces [48]. This gender socialization begins at an early agewith things like gender-associated colors or gendered-toys, leading to preference choices andinterests later in life [49]. Studies analyzing gendered toys have found that boys’ toys focus onsubject matter like technology or action, while girls’ toys focus on topics like care [50]. Thisearly exposure to gendered occupational roles may then relate directly to the learning childrenengage in and their future educational interests. In STEM and engineering, the gender disparitybetween males and females is well documented [51]. Yet despite increased efforts to attractwomen, as of 2021, women only occupied 14% of

Likewise,the narrative focused on solving problems creatively suggested that the ability to handle workstress and demonstrate interpersonal and cultural adaptability greatly facilitates engineers tosolve complex technical problems they otherwise could not solve by themselves.

Many students enter their courses at theuniversity level with the belief that their peers are only doing well because they are more intelligentor more naturally gifted. While there may always a few students with greater natural ability, thereason for most engineering students’ success appears to be their ability to learn, grow, and adjustbased on feedback and criticism instead of crumbling under pressure.Providing students with
