of industrial experience as an estimator and project manager and is a LEED AP BD+C. Her research interests include climate adaptation, engineering education, industry collaboration, sustainability and resiliency. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Preparing Students to Solve Challenges Related to a Changing ClimateAbstractThe National Academy of Engineering has identified restoring and improving urban infrastructureas one of the grand challenges for engineering. Urban coastal communities are particularly at riskas their infrastructure is experiencing frequent inundation related to climate change impacts. Risingsea levels in coastal communities create backflow into stormwater systems and

including the sustainability section.IntroductionCivil engineers have a unique responsibility to the society and the nation. They have theresponsibility to advance the infrastructure needs of the society in such a way that not only meetthe current demand but also the future needs in a social and environmentally responsible way.They must design and practice in the field in a compatible manner which echoes the practice ofsustainable development. Civil engineers play a key role in designing and building theinfrastructure that meet the needs of the public and society. In the recent years the idea ofsustainability and resilient infrastructure is more prevalent than any other point in time. Thepractice of sustainability is everywhere now from renewable

college students, particularly in enhancing self-efficacy and career aspirations [8].Bureaucratic processes at four-year institutions add another layer of complexity, potentiallybecoming obstacles to academic progression [9]. Recommendations from research include theutilization of tools such as the Transfer Guide Modified (TGM) for a more in-depth explorationof student experiences, especially focusing on those with varying scores within the TGM'sdifferent factors [1].Navigating academia requires not only academic resilience but also adapting to newsociocultural environments. These experiences often reshape student identities, making themmore resilient and prepared for future challenges. The nuances of race and ethnicity in transferexperiences

Dr. Bao develops a teaching website: http://baoteachingcet.com/ and opens a YouTube Structural Design Teaching channel to post screencasts to supplement traditional lecture-type classes, and she also created hands-on active learning modules to improve teaching and learning effectiveness. In addition to educa- tion research, Dr. Bao conducts research in the areas of bridge resiliency and sustainability, innovative construction materials and evaluation of aging infrastructure. She has extensive research experience in finite element modeling and lab testing of structures and published more than 25 research papers. She is an active member in ASEE, ASCE and

They believe that resilience and the ability topersevere through difficulties are important qualities for success in the field.It is important to note that individual faculty members may have their own specific beliefs andpriorities, and these can also be influenced by the specific program, institution, and culturalcontext in which they teach. Additionally, faculty members may actively engage with students tounderstand their individual needs and tailor their teaching approach accordingly.he grandchallenges of engineering and architecture must be considered. These challenges encompass awide array of complex issues that require innovative solutions to address societal needs andadvance technological frontiers. The
