The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction to the fields of civil,construction and environmental engineering and construction management. Students learn about:the process of being a civil engineer or construction manager; the scope of careers open tograduates; some of the procedures and methods used in engineering design; how to workeffectively on open-ended problems under constraints of time; how to work effectively on smallteams and communicate ideas; and how to develop an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility.

In order to engage these students, instructors must adapt to their lifestyles, includingtheir online viewing habits.The following paper presents a case study on the development of the AISC Days of Steel videoseries. These videos explore typical undergraduate steel design topics in a fun, amusing, yeteducational manner, combining quirky humor with equations.The intent of the video series is to provide content to students outside the classroom setting toincrease engagement and interest in the technical topics.

These concepts are definedbased on other complex subjects, such as multi-criteria decision-making, systems analysis, riskanalysis, and socioeconomic disaster impact analysis. It is one of the reasons why these conceptsare often taught in more advanced graduate-level courses, if at all, instead of undergraduatecourses. However, introducing these concepts early on is crucial, since the vast majority ofpracticing structural engineers start their careers after their undergraduate program.

But some students also leaveengineering when they perceive other majors as more supportive of those goals (e.g., [20], [21]).Thus, introducing students to equitable infrastructure in early civil engineering courses mightinspire students to choose and persist in careers in civil engineering.Further, research into career choices has shown a perception by students that STEM fields are inopposition to the goal of helping others, and this has been identified as a possible contributingfactor to underrepresentation of women in these fields [22].

Work-life balance (WLB) considerations were found to be very important to currentU.S. civil engineering students (e.g., “I don’t want to spend an excessive number of hours at myjob”) [7]. Concerns about WLB impact STEM students’ planned career trajectories, includingthoughts about leaving STEM [8].

Lack of engagement around social issues can cause situationsof environmental injustice to be perpetuated in engineered systems [12]. Still, in manyengineering programs, “engineering neutrality” in design is a defined part of the curriculum, andstudents are explicitly taught to depoliticize their engineering solutions [15]. By depoliticizingengineering, students focus only on the technical aspects of a project and not the socialimplications. This pedagogical choice ultimately negatively impacts the engineering profession.Focusing on social and environmental justice in engineering

A potentialexplanation is that the civil engineering students have higher familiarity with the teachingpedagogy and approach to evaluation and assessment from the instructors. This familiarityresults from the civil engineer population typically taking the course later in their careers afterexposure to many other courses from the department. This exposure is something that, by thenature of their programs of study, the populations from other STEM and humanities departmentsdo not have.
