, the effectiveness ofsuch projects within the context of competition is largely unexplored.Surveys of recent graduates will serve as the primary assessment tool for the effectiveness ofinterdisciplinary versus non-interdisciplinary teams and competition versus non-competitionteams. The authors will assess both the impact of student competitions on learning and theimpact of interdisciplinary teams on the learning and effectiveness of competition teams.Additional assessment tools will include competition scores and feedback received from facultymembers based on the performance of the 2020 West Point Steel Bridge Team.IntroductionIt only takes a quick look at the news over the past few years to see that the world is changing ata rapid pace

program allows engineering students to spend an hour witheither the dean or a department head discussing what is engineering, how society benefits fromengineers, and what career options are available upon graduation. This is followed by two hoursparticipating in engineering courses. Faculty open their classrooms to the student prospects andengage them in the classroom environment. This is a sharp contrast to whatever the freshmanhost’s classes might have traditionally been engaged in (i.e., humanities, leadership, ROTC,physical education, etc.). There is minimal impact to programs to prepare for this activity.Faculty are simply contacted to ensure there will be minimal disruption to their class by havingguests observing.

This style of instruction does not accurately reflect anengineer’s job requirements, which often include multi-disciplinary problem-solving andworking in groups. Under recent ABET guidance, there has been an increased push for project-based learning that integrates complex, group problem-solving to better align with employer’sneeds2.

For thesemester project, students first identify their Grand Challenge and, optionally, form teams. Eachunit is required to perform background research to understand the Grand Challenge, its impact onsociety and stakeholders, inherent cultural or ethical considerations, and relevant cause-and-effect relationships. Students then define minimum requirements for success and constraints,create a best-case scenario, and develop criteria for which they can evaluate solutions

, 2]. Training students to develop design thinking and skills will allow them to enterprofessional practice ready to participate in the challenge of infrastructure re-design. Indeed,ABET requires that students have “an ability to apply engineering design to producesolutions…” upon graduation [3]. Perhaps the most effective way to guide students indeveloping design skills is through engagement in real-world projects. Furthermore, providingauthentic design experiences in a supportive educational environment that encourages successcan build self-efficacy (one’s beliefs in their ability to achieve specific tasks), which in turn fuelsmotivation to succeed as an engineer [4]. Promoting engineering self-efficacy is a promisingstrategy for retaining

Firstly, the benefit is for the community that is servedby students, and secondly, students are encouraged to connect and reflect how their educationconnects to their professional career. Through the experience students feel better about theiractions and understand the need and therefore the impact engineers have on a community. Thisencourages them to learn more about their chosen profession, and feel more confident about theirachievements. Also, students have a chance to practice and apply what they learn in class in areal project where they are exposed to the results of their design.

Within this practice is arecognition of the role that systems play in societal functioning while accounting for how humanbehavior and social organizations contribute to and affect the performance of a given system.When students are taught this perspective of infrastructure, they are often more proficient in theirefforts to incorporate all of the stakeholders in the development and implementation of thefacilities and processes they are asked to study.For example, if a student were asked to research and write about the impacts of an aging

Students mayperuse the views and orbit the model in 3D to understand the nature of the problem. This type ofengagement, inquiry, and discovery is typically not possible in traditional paper exams.Additionally, by modeling the context in 3D, the exam designer is forced to fully develop theproblem in a way that is not typically done for an on-paper exam. For example, consider theunusual cross-section. The unconventional shape was strategically chosen to limit students’ability to use online moment of inertia solvers during the take-home exam.

Students wereasked to write briefly on what the SDGs are, then choose one direct and one indirect UN SDG toincorporate into their proposed engineering design project. 1 Sustainability was first introducedwithin the context of the UN SDGs. These goals were presented as a way of incorporatingsustainability into the design projects. Each student had to identify at least one direct and oneindirect goal for their design and then the team worked together to identify the best direct andindirect goals to focus on as they developed their proposed designs.

facility neighbors). In courses withauthentic design projects, particularly those that use a human-centered design paradigm, multipleopportunities for authentic listening practice are available.Ultimately, like many professional skills, listening is perhaps best taught in a cohesive approachthat is integrated through the curriculum. A single mention of listening in one course isinsufficient. When programs are integrating communication skills, teamwork/leadership, andethics/societal impacts as required learning outcomes for ABET, listening can be explicitlyidentified to students as sub-elements among these outcomes. For example, students couldpractice their listening skills in association with oral presentations by their peers. Traditionalstudent
