-lasting, durable, resilient to external factors, and so on – ideas discussed during the lesson. Explanation/Reflection: Students did poorly on this question, and it is attributed to lack of reinforcement in the Envision exercises and application to the particular project for this class. Envision does contain a Risk element, but it was not carefully considered. This is an area for improvement in the future. Some students made appropriate (and high level) observations that designing to mitigate hazards may be life-cycle best approach instead of designing to not withstand, saving money, and then having to rebuild.6. What is Envision from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure? a. long-term view of what the civil engineer will

Do the Universities Have a Designed Infrastructure to Measure and Develop Student Outcomes? A Model Offer Prof.Dr. Ugur ZelAbstractThe Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology revised its Criterion 3 student outcomes in fall 2017. Student outcomes representthe competencies we expect from students to have before they graduate from universities. Whenwe talk about an “outcome” we mean an “observable behavior” which also forms a dimension ofa competency. Generally, universities focus on measuring “knowledge”, also a dimension of acompetency which is the easiest to measure. Do the universities have a well

In addition to presenting the different components of civilengineering infrastructure, we have also presented the students with some of the largerchallenges that will be encountered by the future civil engineers such as climate change,resilience and sustainable development. This was done by using case-studies to present thecurrent conditions of the U.S infrastructure. Some of the lecture modules used in the course weredeveloped in collaboration with University of as a part of grant.
