(ISI) Envision Professional (ENV SP) credential. The course coversindicators for five criteria under themes of quality of life, leadership, resource allocation, naturalworld, and climate and resilience (ISI, 2018). The course objectives were to: 1) review the ISI’sEnvision Sustainable Infrastructure Framework (ISI, 2018); 2) detail how the Envision guidelineshelp to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, Environmental Justice, and EnvironmentalEngineering Grand Challenges (NASEM, 2019); and 3) introduce students to community engagedinfrastructure projects. The main learning outcomes were for students to: 1) comprehend and adaptideas on others’ perspectives; 2) work within local community contexts; 3) integrate disciplinespecific knowledge

]. Decisions under climate change are deeply uncertain, and DMDU approaches havefrequently been applied for long term planning for urban infrastructure [2]–[4]. Decision makersmust plan and take some form of adaptive action (including no action or deferred action) toaddress the impacts of climate change. These actions tend to be informed by complex modelinganalyses, and it is often difficult to communicate the modeling results as well as the advantagesand disadvantages of different actions to stakeholders and decision makers. It is equally if notmore difficult to communicate these concepts to civil and environmental engineering studentswho will be confronted with similar decisions in their future careers. Serious games may offersome solutions to these

University Sustainability Committee charter[2]. 1. United Nations Brundtland Commission recognizes sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” [1]. 2. University of California Los Angeles recognizes sustainability as “the integration of environmental health, social equity, and economic vitality to create thriving, healthy, diverse, and resilient communities for this generation and generations to come. The practice of sustainability recognizes how these issues are interconnected and requires a systems approach and an acknowledgement of complexity” [2]. 3.
