Engineers mutually benefit from classroom visits by inspiring the next generation ofyoung, bright minds to consider engineering to help address the future challenges that we facewith an aging infrastructure system and also further curating good stewards of the infrastructurethat we have. This is in addition to helping to fill the gap that our nation is facing in the numberof civil engineering jobs and lack of educated individuals to fill those jobs.Grades K-6As mentioned earlier, the Report Card can be used to broaden student views of civil engineering

Action Research [36], whereresearchers work with community to address community goals, empowering communitymembers, and promoting social justice and equity. However, engineers feel there is sometimes a“disconnect between engineers and the public” where “engineers don’t listen” [37 p. 15]. Thisrepresents motivation for improved education of engineers.Listening has been classified into a variety of types, such as active, accurate, contextual, critical,empathetic, and mindful [4, 13, 38]. Mindful listening has been encouraged for project managers[13] and healthcare professionals [39], focusing on being fully present, an awareness of bothoneself and others, engaging with the speaker, avoiding judgement of the speaker, and carefullyobserving and

authors found that thecitizen scientists’ perceptions toward engineering as a process were greatly influenced by theirparticipation in the project. However, their perceptions of engineers as persons did not change.Interestingly, the citizen scientists volunteered their own “funds of knowledge” aboutengineering skillsets and “habits of mind” but did not connect their personal traits and skills toengineering or engineers. Since the rainwater harvesting project of the citizen scientists wassimilar to the open-ended, project-based learning experiences of many engineering students, weposit that student perceptions of the engineering process are strongly influenced by project-basedlearning, but the impact on their engineering identity is limited.

Useful StrategiesAll students deserve an opportunity to fully participate in the diversity and inclusion activitieswithin a civil engineering classroom. However, many engineering students are introverted; theymay feel uncomfortable speaking aloud regarding a topic that is subjective or controversial.Further, students require adequate time to absorb the material and respond in a mindful manner.The following summarizes five

Lower level sustainability courses can be related to the knowledgegained in the required math, science, humanities, and social sciences through “mind mapping.”This paper presents a comprehensive term project entitled “Greening the Engineering Building”that was utilized to simulate sophomore civil engineering students’ interest in green buildingsthrough the development of a sustainable alternative

“educate” these workers as to the proper ways to do their work.From the perspective of Taylor, the notion of engineering is one “benevolently” doing thethinking for the worker while the worker obediently does it. Armanios then shows how thesedeleterious assumptions persist today with a Job Interests Survey. He asks the students what theyprefer in a job, and then asks them what they think blue collar workers prefer in a job. Invirtually every instance he has run the survey, while engineering students say they preferinteresting work that uses their mind, they assume, just like Taylor, that blue collar workers justcare about job security and wages.
