The fourth project, Resilient Infrastructure and Sustainability Education –Undergraduate Program (RISE-UP), has developed an interdisciplinary curriculum to educatecadres of Hispanic students on infrastructure resilience to temper and to overcome the effects ofsuch natural disasters. Three campuses of this institution system collaborate in thisinterdisciplinary undertaking. Participating students are pursuing undergraduate degrees inengineering, architecture, and surveying who take the entailed courses together and participate inco-curricular activities (both online and in-person through site visits).

reinforced the needfor the civil engineering profession to address the complex challenges of designing, operating,and maintaining civil works infrastructure that is both sustainable and resilient. This need isreflected both within the Engineering Accreditation Commission’s General Criteria and theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers’ Civil Engineering Program Criteria required forundergraduate programs in Civil Engineering to be ABET accredited. By the time of graduation,students must have the ability to apply the engineering design process to arrive at solutions thatare more than just technically sound. Their solutions must also serve to protect the public health,safety, and welfare of society, as well as address the triple bottom line of
change, theyneed to be equipped with skills in two main areas: (1) risk and resilience and (2) game theory.Skills in risk and resilience are necessary to be able to properly analyze and decide on solutionsthat minimize the risk that climate change will have on critical infrastructure systems. Skills ingame theory are necessary to be able to navigate the complexity that climate change representswhich creates a highly uncertain and entirely dependent upon the choices that are made todayand into the future. The introduction of course modules was focused on climate change into aselection of the courses in the undergraduate curriculum of civil engineering fostering the growthof the mindset of students to be able to take on the daunting challenge of

She teaches the introductory engineering course for all first-year undergraduate students in the College of Engineering at UD. Her undergraduate teaching experience includes foundational engineering mechanics courses like statics and strength of materials as well as courses related to sustainability and infrastructure. Her research interests are in foundational engineering education, sustainability in engineering curriculum, and green technologies in infrastructure. 14th Annual First-Year Engineering Experience (FYEE) Conference: University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee Jul 30 GIFTS: Showcasing
challenges will require civil engineers and designers towork with city officials to develop infrastructure resilient to climate extremes while providing economic development.Traditionally, engineering and interior architecture students have had little chance to work in multidisciplinary teamson real-life projects – a critical skill they will need to develop as they transition to the workforce. To address this need,we developed and co-taught two independent courses in fall 2023 which collaborated on a novel service-learningdesign project for the City of Fall River, Massachusetts.The two courses were taught independently because of the different program requirements.

To ensure that students can cope with the aftermath of these natural disasters, the following programs were conceived: The Ecosystem to Expand Capabilities and Opportunities for STEM-Scholars (EECOS), the Resilient Infrastructure and Sustainability Education Undergraduate Program (RISE-UP) and The Noyce Teacher Scholars Program – (NoTeS), all three programs are funded by the National Science Foundation. EECOS developed a support ecosystem that consists of three elements: academic support, socio-emotional support, and financial support.

]. While the concepts of “resilience” or “resiliency” are now invogue in engineering academic circles, these are seldom understood, especially in relationship toECD projects. If we want to enhance resiliency in communities through our engineering projects,we have to be careful that our efforts do not become exclusively technocentric. A preliminaryreview of the literature in resiliency in ECD projects shows that most place resiliency as either acharacteristic of the built environment (infrastructure) or as the attitude that engineering studentsmust develop to succeed in a demanding curriculum [10][11]. But how about resiliency as alatent characteristic of communities that can be both enhanced by the way engineers behavewhen working with communities
