put a human face on the problem, maybe people will be more interested insolving it.” And, third, it enables students to address a range of “soft skills” such ascommunicating to a wide audience, coordinating work within a team, evaluating ethics, andconsidering the broader societal implications of the project. 5.1. 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

, How PeopleLearn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School [12], highlights how novice learners (undergraduateengineers) are unlike expert learners (practicing engineers) in that experts have developed thelearning skills to build a deep content understanding and organization of their subject thatfacilitates their retrieval and transfer to new and different applications. This would imply that if aconcept inventory were to be provided to both of these groups, practicing engineers wouldperform better than students and have minimal misconceptions about the strength of materialsconcepts.MethodsInstrumentThe strength of materials concept inventory consists of 23 multiple choice questions coveringconcepts centered around normal and shear stress and strain

resilient in the face of unprecedented changes to educationbrought on by the Coronavirus pandemic.ConclusionsGeomatics, while possibly not always front-of-mind in the world of Civil Engineering, is in facta crucial foundation for a wide variety of civil engineering subdisciplines (in addition to being anentire field of study on its own.) Through the research conducted here, the following objectiveshave been accomplished: 1. Examining the history of surveying and spatial data education in the U.S.In the early days of the U.S., surveying was central to the efforts of white settlers to drawboundaries on land that did not belong to them. As a result, colleges and universities heavilyemphasized surveying in their Civil Engineering programs. But as

solve the problems under a time constraint to provide them practice forexam conditions. With these ideas in mind, AMechanics Race was created.BackgroundTo make introductory engineering courses more engaging, the author has previously reported onthe success of using pop culture and themes in the classroom [1]. One way to make an associationis by including characters and scenarios from current television shows or popular movies intoengineering content. For instance, Selby published that she had more enthusiastic responses fromstudents when she related concepts in her Environmental Engineering class to the MarvelCinematic Universe [2].The Amazing Race is a multi-Emmy Award-winning reality series on the CBS network, havingcompleted 32 seasons as of

“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. He then analyzes data from the General Social Survey [40] onjob preferences between white and blue

concepts in engineering education inspires engineering solutions that createmore equitable distributions of resources and enhance human capabilities [1].Education intervention aimed at developing more socially minded future engineers has beendone throughout United States universities. At the Colorado School of Mines, educatorsinvestigated the success of immersing students in the user experience as a method for teachingempathy. The program has seen a change in the way students approach problems after receivingthe immersive course, and instructors have noted better quality of student work with the program[7]. A study performed at Lafayette College examined the inclusion of morals into engineeringethics curriculum to increase the ability of
