context. This paper describes a course derived fromthe Wright State model, which has evolved significantly over time. The course includes moderate-intensity active learning, with 1 hour of lecture, a 2-hour studio, and 2-hour lab each week. Dataon student perceptions and performance from the most recent offering of the course in Fall 2022are presented. A large number of students were batch enrolled into the course in summer 2022, butthen subsequently withdrew early. The students who dropped had lower math confidence, lowerself perceptions of science and math ability compared to their peers, and lower STEM identity,compared to students who remained in the course. Among students who earned overall coursegrades of D or F, the majority were taking

. It is one of the mosturgent issues our global community is facing. 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

One version of the college-wide introductory course,adopted in the 2002-2003 academic year [1], involved seminar-based instruction related to thedisciplines of engineering as well as a separate week introducing engineering ethics. The courseformat was recently revised to a project-based course in the 2021-2022 academic year [2] but thepilot year maintained a separate week of standalone instruction for engineering ethics.

2022, the CS department converted more remote-teaching courses back toin-classroom, in-person courses compared to the earlier term. In the fall of 2022, almost allcourses were converted to in-person, in-classroom courses except a few courses.While we continued to collect data from the spring of 2019 to the fall of 2021, we discoverednoticeable enrollment trends throughout the COVID-19 pandemic period. Based on the data wecollected, we observed that the COVID-19 pandemic crisis significantly affected femalestudents’ enrollment in early programming courses (CS1, CS2, and CS3).
