, infrastructure resilience,human comfort, and energy balance. For the course final project, students proposed solutions tobuild a lunar infrastructure habitat, requiring them to extrapolate from terrestrial designsdiscussed in the classroom to extraterrestrial contexts. Instructors enhanced the course materialwith transfer techniques such as analogy-driven learning, real-world problem-solving exercises,and facilitated discussions of lunar design challenges. The FET model was embedded in the pre-course, post-course, and feedback surveys. The authors found evidence of successful transferfrom these artifacts, suggesting that the pedagogy and curricula implemented were effective atpromoting transfer of learning.

(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
, they foster their knowledge in diverse engineeringaspects.The development of a state energy assurance plan is, without a doubt, an opportunity that cannotbe found in any curricular program. Students found this project to be a practical exercise tounderstand the interdependencies within the diverse energy sectors and as well as thevulnerabilities of the energy systems infrastructure. Moreover, they were able to analyze theimportance of reliable and resilient systems and its importance over energy assurance planning.The project also afforded a valuable opportunity to research new emerging technologies that arecurrently being developed to enhance reliability and resiliency of energy systems.

marginalized students insteadutilized long-standing dialogues with family members for experiential and learnedunderstandings of infrastructure inequality. These long-standing dialogues instilled marginalizedstudents with a supply of encouraging stories and role models, a dedication to relationshipbuilding with partner communities, and encouragement to work on grassroots HE efforts.IntroductionHumanitarian Engineering (HE) graduate programs strive to train students in increasing globalinfrastructure equality and these programs are multiplying across the United States. Imperative tothe success of these programs is sweeping recruitment and resiliency of students across races andnationalities and consequently across the intersections of lived
sustainability. The detailsof these assignments and an analysis of student learning are provided. A second model studiedthe Flint water system disaster in the context of learning about community resilience andsystemic racism within a senior/graduate level Civil Engineering Systems course. The decades-old discriminatory practices in housing (redlining, racist mortgage covenants) were discussed.Student perspectives based on the threaded discussion posts and a written assignment provideevidence of the effectiveness of this approach for learning about how non-technical factors areimportant in determining public infrastructure performance. A third model recommends the useof environmental justice mapping tools, which may be appropriate in a broad range of

Findings of this study are preliminary and includequalitative measures but point to potential teaching/learning mechanisms which may be furtherexplored in successive studies.IntroductionThe civil engineering profession faces an increasing range of demands including preparingstudents for evolving challenges including design and maintenance of aging infrastructure,development of sustainable infrastructure and resilient design.

ecological engineers [3]. Calls for ecological engineering skill sets are alsoevident in the growth of federal funding for “nature based solutions” and “resilient infrastructure”[4, 5]. As another example, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has invested heavily in its“Engineering With Nature” program, which funds projects in which natural and engineeringprocesses are integrated to provide societal, environmental and economic benefits [6]. While theseinitiatives are all interdisciplinary in nature, ecological engineers clearly have a strong role to play.The growing wealth of opportunities for ecological engineers signals a need for universities toformalize educational programs that will prepare students to employ the tools of ecology in thedesign of
Projects in the SELP Program Project Description This project aimed to create stronger and smarter cities, resilient to climate change, through public participation and interaction in a virtual environment. A survey about climate change effects at a local level was conducted. According to the survey results, the main SMART + Resilient challenge to implement sustainability policies is to educate the Infrastructure public. Therefore, the project team developed a website application called “InteliGENTE” where citizens can learn more about water

personal resilience and infrastructure resilience. The lecture focuses on learningobjectives 1, 2, and 4. For the first objective, the prevalence of health issues reported by studentsare presented (e.g., stress 42%, anxiety 34%, depression 26%, sleep difficulties 24%, loneliness54% [10]). Reporting the high percentages of college students facing mental health challenges isintended to reduce the stigma that often accompanies mental health. Student resilience data fromour campus based on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [11] is also discussed (i.e., able toadapt when changes occur, bounce back after hardships). Toward the second learning objective,students are introduced to the idea of self-care and the eight dimensions of wellness [12
