-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.

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

sustainability in design to engineers.Sustainability in Design within the Course and Final ProjectCourse Scope, Objectives, and Structure. The CE350 – Infrastructure Engineering21-23 coursehas six primary objectives: 1. Identify, assess, and explain critical infrastructure components and cross-sector linkages at the national, regional, and municipal levels 2. Calculate the demand on infrastructure components and systems 3. Assess the functionality, capacity, and maintainability of infrastructure components and systems 4. Evaluate infrastructure in the context of military operations 5. Prioritize and recommend actions to improve infrastructure resilience 6. Apply the principles of sustainability in design to infrastructure

Our evaluationmethod put the emphasis on two assessments: the quality of work done by the student teams, andthe perspectives of the students, faculty, and project partners garnered through interviews.Project OverviewWith an estimated 875 million children exposed to earthquake hazards worldwide (RamirezCortes, 2014) and about 2,500 fatalities in schools expected annually due to earthquakes (WorldBank, 2019), there is an urgent need to provide safe and resilient school infrastructure forchildren.

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. We havemodified some of the lectures for the Spring 2018 semester to include the case studies fromhurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.The lectures were covered by two instructors, Instructor1 and Instructor2.

This code specifically calls engineers’ attention to “a. first and foremost,protect the health, safety, and

courses on infrastructure empower students tounderstand the complexities of networks and metasystems, assess systems under both normal anddisrupted conditions, identify and classify stakeholders of infrastructure projects or failures, andidentify requirements for infrastructure to remain resilient in serving the needs of society.Similar to survey-type courses like history and art, introductory infrastructure courses typicallycover a wide variety of topics, and enduring themes have emerged as critical content, to includeenergy, water, and transportation [7]. For many students, water’s basic properties are well-understood. Direct observation and physical interaction with water concepts like pressure andflowrate result in an innate knowledge upon
connections with the students, local facilitators, and the localstructure in the classroom. By knowing that, we could perform modifications and improvementsat the beginning of the course to adjust our initial planning for the reality of the course andstudent needs. During the workshop, we planned the following goals: (a) getting familiar with localfacilitators, managers, and infrastructure; (b) introducing the main ideas and motivating students;(c) establishing a face-to-face connection with all students; (d) providing technical training aboutelectronic tools used in the technology; and (e) establishing guidelines and internal policies withstudents to be followed throughout the course.

It seem likely that manyuniversities will try to address sustainable development broadly so engineering students shouldbenefit. However, engineering faculty should take opportunities to ensure that the engineeringaspects of sustainable development are addressed for all students.A number of the goals e.g. Goal 6 - water & sanitation, Goal 7 - sustainable energy, Goal 9-resilient infrastructure, and Goal 11 - resilient and sustainable cities are heavily dependent onengineering. However, an examination of the targets for even these goals that are heavilyengineering should make it clear that achieving sustainable development as defined in the Goalswill require a truly
