. Students ended the course with the sameconcept map exercise as the other institutions that were part of this study (Figure 1). The courseused interstate highways as a case study to explore how infrastructure impacts society from bothhistorical and modern perspectives. Students were tasked with developing their own case studiesin other areas of infrastructure and presented these to the class during the final weeks of thesemester. The course also looked at the future of infrastructure in terms of climate resiliency andemerging technologies using ASCE’s Future World Vision platform.At the University of Colorado Boulder, a large public institution, students were introduced toideas related to equitable infrastructure (EI) in a first-year Introduction

from the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) requires that curriculum include application of the “principles ofsustainability, risk, resilience, diversity, equity, and inclusion to civil engineering problems,”application of “an engineering code of ethics,” and application of “professional attitudes andresponsibilities of a civil engineer” [1]. The importance of these criteria is reflected directlywithin the preamble to ASCE’s Code of Ethics, which provides four fundamental principles forengineers to govern their professional careers, the first being to “create safe, resilient, andsustainable infrastructure” [2].

, infrastructure resilience,human comfort, and energy balance. For the course final project, students proposed solutions tobuild a lunar infrastructure habitat, requiring them to extrapolate from terrestrial designsdiscussed in the classroom to extraterrestrial contexts. Instructors enhanced the course materialwith transfer techniques such as analogy-driven learning, real-world problem-solving exercises,and facilitated discussions of lunar design challenges. The FET model was embedded in the pre-course, post-course, and feedback surveys. The authors found evidence of successful transferfrom these artifacts, suggesting that the pedagogy and curricula implemented were effective atpromoting transfer of learning.

As another example, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has invested heavily in its“Engineering With Nature” program, which funds projects in which natural and engineeringprocesses are integrated to provide societal, environmental and economic benefits [6]. While theseinitiatives are all interdisciplinary in nature, ecological engineers clearly have a strong role to play.The growing wealth of opportunities for ecological engineers signals a need for universities toformalize educational programs that will prepare students to employ the tools of ecology in thedesign of

For the first objective, the prevalence of health issues reported by studentsare presented (e.g., stress 42%, anxiety 34%, depression 26%, sleep difficulties 24%, loneliness54% [10]). Reporting the high percentages of college students facing mental health challenges isintended to reduce the stigma that often accompanies mental health. Student resilience data fromour campus based on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [11] is also discussed (i.e., able toadapt when changes occur, bounce back after hardships). Toward the second learning objective,students are introduced to the idea of self-care and the eight dimensions of wellness [12

While our students are exposed to computer organization, and ourcomputer engineers are exposed to computer architecture, neither program has a solidunderstanding of the infrastructure needs for a modern data center. While the computingresources that we teach in our program are important, the main design challenges for the siteinvolved device cooling, auxiliary power capabilities, and data backups.From the cooling standpoint, modern devices are changing so quickly that not all devices areable to be liquid cooled. This is especially true of GPU devices. Thus, in many cases, thechallenge to deploying super computers is not

MiguelAndres’s research includes Architectural and Civil Engineering Project Management, Sustainable and Resilient Urban Infrastructure, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andres develops disruptive pedagogies for STEM courses as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change. Currently
