grades.Correlation analyses indicated that the relationship between the performance on the homeworkand the final grades in the course were stronger for the spring semester (0.877) than for the fallsemester (0.712). For each of the seven summative tests and associated homework assignments,the relationship between the scores were examined. For fall semester, the correlations were in therange [0.18-0.58], whereas for the spring semester they were in the range [0.47-0.69]. However,descriptive statistics of the homework scores and test scores, suggested that the 35 studentsduring the fall 2022 semester generally performed better than the 38 students during the spring2023 semester on both the assigned homework and tests. That observation was confirmedthrough a

ASEENational Conference, documented the formation of CEPCTC and its development of an initialdraft of proposed CEPC revisions. The second paper, presented at the 2022 ASEE NationalConference, focused on a) the solicitation and collection of feedback from a broad community ofstakeholders regarding the initial 2021 draft of proposed CEPC changes, and b) further revisionsto the proposed CEPC in response to that feedback. This third paper describes the changes to theCEPC resulting from the first phase of the ongoing ABET review and approval process andfocuses on the development of commentary and training materials to support the proposed CEPCimplementation and use. These materials support programs and program evaluators (PEVs).Although not officially part

. This may be partially due tostudents not perceiving civil engineering as exciting. ASCE’s Future World Vision project(FWV) may provide a way to spark student interest in civil engineering. This paper explores thereception of first-year students enrolled in an introductory CE course to FWV. In 2022 FWV wasintegrated at multiple points during the semester by making small modifications in the topics andassignments that were already part of the course. The FWV video was shown on the first day ofclass. On the first significant homework assignment of the semester, students were given achoice of learning about civil engineering by selecting two of four readings or websites; amongthe four options, FWV was the most popular, selected by 59% of the

Each of these three topics had an associated individual homeworkassignment supported by readings and/or online videos. The specific prompts and readings/videos changed over time. The DEI teaching practices aligned with self-determination theory(e.g., autonomy). Evidence of the effectiveness of the DEI integration approaches is provided viacontent analysis of a homework assignment and the final reflective essay. In addition, there wasno evidence of student resistance to DEI topics in the course. The results provide specificexamples that can support civil engineering programs in fulfilling the new proposed ABET civilengineering program criterion related to

The same class structure of lecture followed by activitywas used in 2021; however, only one class was dedicated to social justice discussions, andclasses were held in person. The air quality aspect was removed in the second year, and the classengaged in a general discussion of environmental injustice and a water-focused case study ofTooleville, a disadvantaged community in Central CA. In 2022 and 2023, the lecture materialwas broadened to include discussion of three economically disadvantaged communities aroundthe US, all facing water-related challenges: Jackson

The course has two midterm examsand a final exam. Two different implementations were tried over three years, 2020-2022, oneallowed students to replace both midterms with a single retake exam, the other allowed studentsto retake the first of two midterm exams. The scores on the retake exams were compared to theoriginal exam scores to quantify the benefit to the students. For the undergraduate students, thedifference in the percentage of students earning D and F grades was determined. There are no Dgrade in the grading scale for graduate courses, so for graduate

Tools likeChatGPT have gone from being niche to having broader use [3,4].

For example, in Spring 2022, the homework grade category scores rangedfrom 66% to 104% with an average of 88%.While the initial submission with immediate assessment implementation continues to incentivizestudents to attempt all problems through “completion” points, it removes the grade incentive forreviewing the instructor-provided solution. In this way, students must become more independentin their metacognitive skills and find ways to incentivize their own learning from mistakes.

To diminish confirmation bias in the evaluation efforts, CFDintentionally sought external evaluators who had no prior connection to CFD or the ETW.

According to the UNEP 2022 Global Status Reportfor Buildings and Construction [1], the buildings and construction sector consumes about 34percent of global energy use and accounts for 37 percent of global energy and process-relatedcarbon emissions in 2021. Civil engineers who are responsible for the design and construction ofthese physical systems play an essential role in reducing carbon emissions, thereby mitigatingclimate change. In terms of resilience, the infrastructure systems civil engineers design andconstruct typically have long service lives. That said, the increasing severity of hazardsattributable to climate change places these systems at significant risk, where

), confirmationbias: the tendency to seek out and interpret information that supports one’s existing beliefs (Calikli& Bener, 2015; Hallihan & Shu, 2013; Nelius et al., 2020), and in the case of interdisciplinaryteams, disciplinary bias: a preference towards data that is relevant to one’s own discipline (Harriset al., 2009; Horn et al., 2022). A common recommendation for mitigating bias in engineeringdesign is the inclusion of varying perspectives as contributors. This often is understood“horizontally,” referring to interdisciplinary engineering teams, but can also be done “vertically”with the inclusion of representatives from engineering, policy, management, and other keystakeholder groups. Stakeholder analysis is not a new concept

Therefore, the senior-level design course Coastal Engineering was modifiedin 2022 with the addition of teamwork elements in two course components: homeworkassignments and in-class quizzes. The homework assignments were completed in small groups,with teams submitting a joint homework solution. The objective of assigning homework to groupsrather than individuals was to have students work together and discuss the problems and courseconcepts. To discourage “divide and conquer” approaches and hold students accountable forunderstanding the full homework assignment, students

to the civil engineering profession [2]. This was true during the development oflicensure laws in the early 20th century and is true today. In 2021, sixty-four percent of allengineers who completed the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying(NCEES) Principles and Practice Exam (PE) took one of the five civil engineering exams ratherthan an exam in the eighteen other engineering disciplines [3]. Still, not all civil engineers aspireto obtain a PE license.Knowledge of engineering licensure laws and rules is important to civil engineering programs,faculty, and students.
