diverse student populations, as prior work has shown that low self-efficacyis often a contributor to attrition [5, 6].Within an undergraduate curriculum at a small, teaching-focused institution in the southeast, anintegrated student outcome thread focused on development of civil engineering design skills wasadopted and mapped by faculty across a series of 16 departmental courses. The design outcomethread encompasses instructional material from courses in 1) Introduction to Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, 2) Dynamics, 3) Geomatics Lab, 4) Highway Engineering, 5)Mechanics of Materials, 6) Hydrology and Hydraulics, 7) Asphalt and Concrete Laboratory, 8)Measurements, Analysis and Modeling of Civil Engineering Systems, 9) Reinforced ConcreteDesign

The paper will discuss the creationof a new course that allows the university to offer an international design experience within thetraditional Capstone course, and it will further compare the outcomes of the international servicelearning frameworks to the standard senior design projects.IntroductionMany Engineering programs are becoming interested in including an international servicelearning project into the school’s curriculum [1-6, 8, 9, 12-20]. There are many components in atypical international service learning experience that can benefit both the students and the school.[7, 10] One of the first and well documented benefits comes from the value project

Integration of computing with the content matter of each class is important so thatcomputing does not feel like an extraneous task irrelevant to CEE. The integration part is nottrivial and as it has been mentioned by others [11] it takes some trial and error, because whatworks for one discipline or institution might not be exactly transferrable to another one.Computing needs be presented in terms of its underlying presence in almost everything in anengineer’s daily experience, in context, and as a tool that involves use of computers for solvingproblems and understanding

engineering curriculum byintroducing an activity into an existing course where students learned about unmanned aerialvehicles (UAVs) and aerial photogrammetry. Our use of UAVs was motivated by theincreasingly common industry practice of using aerial systems for monitoring buildings andenvironments. We integrated this activity into an existing civil engineering elective course titled‘Heavy Construction Methods.’ In the classroom, students learned about the principles of UAVsand aerial photogrammetry. Students then practiced these principles by observing a UAV flight(conducted by a FAA licensed drone pilot), setting and recording coordinates for ground controlpoints, collecting field data, and using Autodesk software (Recap, Recap Photo, and Civil 3d

In fact, some professions have traditionally excluded populationsfrom participation within their own community practices [5]. Even those college students that areexposed to a diverse curriculum often lack the ability to communicate effectively with audiencesoutside their discipline and to integrate their in-depth understanding of their area of expertise intoa broader, multi-disciplinary context to solve problems.

It was hypothesized that listening to community voices would contribute toachieving sustainability learning outcomes in the affective domain [7]. Listening is perhaps besttaught in a cohesive approach that is integrated through the curriculum, similar to otherprofessional skills taught ‘across the curriculum’ including ethics [49,50], sustainability [51,52],communication [53,54], and professionalism [55]. Therefore, this research integrated the conceptof the importance of listening to community members into three civil engineering courses taughtby the author.
