Innovation capacity has a direct impact on the resilience of companies andregions, since it refers to the ability of finding alternative solutions and leading towards asustainable future [7]. Being able to innovate consistently is a result of establishing aproductive environment that facilitates creative awareness holistically through inspiration,realisation and education [8–10]. Innovation orientation and behaviors are also connected toentrepreneurial intent in

In addition, studentsalso gain an understanding that successful engineers need to be able to work in teams, developstrong communication skills, and possess the ability to locate and use new information.BackgroundWith the rising importance of considering sustainability and resilience in design, life cyclethinking has become a major part in the engineering design process. Within civil engineering, itis also critical to consider life cycle thinking in the design of infrastructure.

not have had coursework in surveying,considering that surveying is foundational for many areas of Civil Engineering.Why Should Surveying Be a Part of CE?Surveying is a field of study in and of itself. There are entire four-year university programsdedicated to only surveying and geomatics, one of which is a very well-developed programoffered by the University of Florida [5]. Those programs are incredibly helpful, and oftennecessary, for students wanting to become licensed surveyors. However, there is a great case tobe made for at least one surveying course to be required in Civil Engineering programs. Allsubdisciplines of Civil Engineering deal with constructing large-scale infrastructure in thecontext of physical space, which naturally

Civil engineersdesign, construct, and manage projects to meet society’s need for transportation, water,buildings, bridges, water and wastewater treatment and other infrastructures. With continuedU.S. investment in these backbone systems, the demand for civil engineers is increasing at a rateof 5% over the next 10 years which is faster than the average for all occupations [1]. Like otherengineering disciplines, an entry level position requires
