paradigm isexpanding to a more holistic view that also considers the socioeconomic impact of physicalfailures (i.e., community resilience). Given multi-faceted disaster impacts on society, it is alsobecoming more critical to consider and balance varying impacts among multiple stakeholders. Toprepare future civil engineers to fulfill a risk manager role, the civil engineering curriculumshould expand to also address these elements. These skill sets are also directly related tofostering the 3C’s of the KEEN Network’s Entrepreneurial Mindset for creating value,connections, and curiosity to promote entrepreneurial mindset learning [1]. This development isfurther supported by the ABET engineering education criteria expansion, specifically for
