In this effort, CFD recruited external evaluatorswho had extensive program assessment experiences from the broader engineering educationcommunity to conduct two successive, comprehensive program evaluations for the ETW inSummer 2021 and Summer 2022. To diminish confirmation bias in the evaluation efforts, CFDintentionally sought external evaluators who had no prior connection to CFD or the ETW. Theevaluations of the ETW in Summer 2021 and Summer 2022 focused on identifying the ETW’sstrengths and areas for improvement in

One of those strategies emphasizes how, through40 sustainable planning and transportation systems, engineers can design walkable, compact cities41 that will contribute to significant emission reductions. This becomes critical because although42 world cities are responsible for more than 80% of the gross domestic product and are key engines43 for development, they also consume over 75% of the energy produced worldwide and

However, the implementation of PtD in the constructionindustry faces several challenges that hinder its widespread adoption. This paper aims to betterunderstand the key factors negatively influencing civil engineers' ability to utilize PtD. Theresearch team, therefore, conducted a survey aimed at gathering insights from engineeringpractitioners regarding the factors that might impede its utilization and the role of engineers inits implementation. The findings indicate that various factors contribute to the challenge, suchas the absence of PtD educational materials

Thereare three general types of appraisals: confidential, open, and semi-open / semi-secret. Aconfidential appraisal does not include the appraised employee in the appraisal process [3]. Foran open appraisal, the appraised employee achieves self-awareness by being made aware ofstrengths, weaknesses, contributions, and shortcomings. This method of appraisal is reflectiveand involves the establishment of a plan of action [3]. A semi-open / semi-secret appraisalincludes the appraised employee at the beginning of the process and later removes theirparticipation until they receive their final rating [3].The

Social justice was also made a center point for the 2021Biden Infrastructure plan, which promised “40% of the benefits of climate and cleaninfrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities” [11]. These initiatives further the pushfor engineers to consider how engineering projects can serve both the technical requirementsthey are designed for and the communities they are built in.Understanding the social aspects has traditionally come with professional experience; however,giving engineering students an understanding of the social elements during their time in schoolcan encourage early development and implementation of this understanding [9].

However, winning is not the onlybenefit of these competitions. By participating, students are exposed to an open-ended,interdisciplinary problem, which requires them to think critically about a problem and formulateinnovative solutions. Moreover, it provides the students an opportunity to apply the technicalknowledge gained during their academic journey such as structural analysis, project planning,design optimization, sustainability, and cost analysis to a real-world

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]. Thus, engineering’s common reputation for being “all workand no rest” [9] should be of concern to faculty.Mental Health ModuleDuring the COVID pandemic in fall 2020 the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) required thatall incoming first-year students learn about mental health issues in a course

One challenge is coordinating and synchronizing teachingapproaches and strategies between co-teachers to ensure cohesive and consistent instructionaldelivery [6]. This requires effective communication, planning, and flexibility among co-teachers.Moreover, assessing and providing timely feedback to many students can be overwhelming andmay require additional resources and strategies to accurately gauge individual progress.In Fall 2020, the course underwent a transformation to better serve neurodivergent students andencourage inclusive teaching
