The objectiveof the course is to provide exposure to the impacts of climate change and foster a generalunderstanding of the analytical and adaptation methods used to improve the resiliency of civilengineering infrastructure. The course is structured to foster student focused learning byengaging students to research key issues of climate science and engineering adaptation thatpromotes the development of information literacy skills.

Although the leadership hierarchy of engineeringinstitutions include faculty, administrators, industry professionals, governing boards, and federalagencies, faculty’s roles and responsibilities uniquely position them to influence curriculum designand delivery, policies, practices, and cultures [44]. As a result, faculty can be a bridge betweenstudent agency and the institutional structures, positioning them as a critical component forensuring change in engineering education [43], [45]–[47].Similar to our analysis of student agency, we identified a few studies evaluating faculty agencyusing

]. While the concepts of “resilience” or “resiliency” are now invogue in engineering academic circles, these are seldom understood, especially in relationship toECD projects. If we want to enhance resiliency in communities through our engineering projects,we have to be careful that our efforts do not become exclusively technocentric. A preliminaryreview of the literature in resiliency in ECD projects shows that most place resiliency as either acharacteristic of the built environment (infrastructure) or as the attitude that engineering studentsmust develop to succeed in a demanding curriculum [10][11]. But how about resiliency as alatent characteristic of communities that can be both enhanced by the way engineers behavewhen working with communities
