’, decision biases. Decision biases are systematicand predictable errors in judgment that can negatively impact engineering decision making.Decision biases are especially prevalent in complex and ill-structured problems involvinguncertainty and risk [4], the very types of problems and decisions that civil engineering studentswill face in their careers. For example, planning fallacy and optimism bias explain the highfrequency of cost overruns and benefit shortfalls [5]. Decisions tend to be biased toward known,traditional solutions (status quo bias) and focus on present costs and benefits (cognitive myopia)rather than life-cycle or long-term sustainability [6]. Status quo bias also appears in engineeringdecision-making processes through procedures

Table 4 in the Appendix. This classintentionally does not introduce the different engineering disciplines explicitly, but rather focuseson teaching skills that engineers use and encourages students to both document and reflect onthose skills. The engineering disciplines do, however, appear in the course through a series ofvideos which are called “Day in the Life” videos. In these videos students hear from industryprofessionals and upper division engineering students about how the weekly topic is currentlybeing applied within their projects and/or careers. Each unit consists of videos, readings,tutorials, discussion boards, and/or simulations which teach the students new concepts, and guidetheir practice in applying the skills being taught. Each

[13] There was an intensecompetition for desired leadership positions that was shared in common with other engineeringdisciplines, as well as from non-engineers. The best example of this is in project managementwhich requires better educated civil engineers. In the case of the latter, more and more non-engineers are managing "civil engineers with the principal reason being that the non-engineerspossess stronger leadership, communication and business skills" and leadership positions

Students’ experiences and responseshave identified the need to consider whether remote laboratories can provide the opportunityfor students to acquire all of the essential laboratory skills.

Not only will argumentation help engineeringstudents master concepts, it will also better prepare them for their professional careers where theycan expect to engage in vigorous arguments about trade-offs in various approaches to addressingproblems in their design/implementation projects.Prior research has shown that some key requirements must be met to ensure that argumentationis most productive: The argumentation must be in small groups of 4–5 students each; each groupmust include students with different approaches to the topic; and the
