anticipated due to new infrastructure investments. Bycapturing the imagination of young minds and equipping them with a foundational understandingof civil engineering, the summer course is not just educating future students; it is contributing tothe development of the workforce that will shape tomorrow's infrastructure.Past students have gone on to enroll in civil engineering as well as other engineering programsin college. While further research and time is needed to assess post-graduation outcomes and thetypes of engineering careers these students ultimately enter, the initial indications are promising.These findings support the replication and adaptation of this model across other institutions,suggesting that such educational interventions can

acknowledgesthat infrastructure design requires consideration of diverse settings and the needs of thecommunity as a whole rather than as a collection of individuals [32]. Too often, communityimpacts are only considered after the design has been developed according to the technicalcriteria. Through the use of CCD, the design can be developed from the start with both technicaland human criteria in mind. CCD emphasizes that both asking multiple community stakeholderswhat they need and observing how they interact with the system in question may be a better wayto ensure the community feels heard and the engineer understands where improvements can bemade to better fit the way people use a system [32].Another approach to addressing sociotechnical problems such

Educators areregularly developing or updating courses to tackle related issues. More specifically, educators inengineering disciplines continue to weave sustainability themes into their respective curricula, ordevelop stand-alone courses, to inspire the next generation of engineers to develop creativesolutions to complex problems.As this issue continues to be a global in its nature, many programs in the United States seek tobuild their courses with international partners in mind.

first year canhave a variety of benefits. In particular, it communicates the important sociotechnical nature ofengineering and the critical impacts that civil engineering can have in advancing or hinderingequity in society. Rather than avoiding this complex topic, first-year students are perhapsuniquely open-minded to considering the challenges posed by striving for equitableinfrastructure. The topic might particularly resonate with some groups and draw the interest ofstudents as a contrast to traditional first-year courses in calculus and physics. In addition, thereare opportunities to integrate equitable infrastructure ideas into later courses such as a mid-leveltransportation engineering course or professional issues course. The concept of
