position.Teachers can further benefit from asking local engineers to assist with the hands-on activitiesand/or classroom discussions about infrastructure including its design, maintenance, andoperations. Engineers mutually benefit from classroom visits by inspiring the next generation ofyoung, bright minds to consider engineering to help address the future challenges that we facewith an aging infrastructure system and also further curating good stewards of the infrastructurethat we have. This is in addition to helping to fill the gap that our nation is facing in the numberof civil engineering jobs and lack of educated individuals to fill those jobs.Grades K-6As mentioned earlier, the Report Card can be used to broaden student views of civil engineering

educational gaps in geotechnicalengineering education through the development and implementation of a transferable andscalable Mixed Reality and Mobile (MR&M) Educational Game, “GeoExplorer.” A game-basedcourse module was implemented in existing geotechnical engineering courses at RensselaerPolytechnic Institute (RPI). The newly developed game has the potential to transform the waygeotechnical engineering is taught by addressing the current critical gap of lack of exposure tofield testing and practical experience. Ultimately, the use of MR&M games should result in abetter-trained and globally minded workforce. The game will be available for free for educatorsand its implementation does not require additional resources. The game-based module

? For thetransportation engineering field, the answer is yes. The Transportation Research Board (TRB), aprogram unit of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, has built andmaintains an extensive research needs statements (RNS) database. TRB committees, researchers,and practitioners annually identify research topics of interest in the field. This database has beenbuilt with experienced researchers in mind and is a means by which topics of interest and valueto the community can be identified for funding. The RNS are reviewed and approved by at leastone sponsoring standing committee. In addition, the statements are reviewed by the TRB staffrepresentative responsible for the primary sponsoring committee, as well as indexing

This finding is in agreement with conclusions regardingstudent importance and confidence ratings, which show seniors rate confidence significantlyhigher than sophomores and juniors in Sustainable Development and Sustainable Design.CEE departments and faculty should be mindful of when, where and how sustainability isincorporated into the CEE curriculum and should seek to build student knowledge ofsustainability concepts throughout the curriculum, in both Engineering Mechanics courses andsenior design courses. One possible approach to include sustainability in mechanics courses is toprovide context for how the mechanics subject is ultimately essential for sustainable design;developing sustainable facilities necessitates that the
