responsible working professional.IntroductionFor many years I listened to a podcast each week called Marketplace Weekend, from NPR, ashow that offered a mix of economic news, stories, and segments geared towards helping “peoplebetter understand the economic world around them” [1]. I was an avid listener and recalled thata constant mantra from hosts and pundits on the show was the need for better financial literacy.The podcast ended in 2018, but their persistent plea was planted in my mind. As we developed anew civil engineering program we had a blank slate, albeit with some ABET and many resourceconstraints, and we imagined many things to add to the program in addition to traditional civilengineering courses to better prepare graduates to enter the

first year canhave a variety of benefits. In particular, it communicates the important sociotechnical nature ofengineering and the critical impacts that civil engineering can have in advancing or hinderingequity in society. Rather than avoiding this complex topic, first-year students are perhapsuniquely open-minded to considering the challenges posed by striving for equitableinfrastructure. The topic might particularly resonate with some groups and draw the interest ofstudents as a contrast to traditional first-year courses in calculus and physics. In addition, thereare opportunities to integrate equitable infrastructure ideas into later courses such as a mid-leveltransportation engineering course or professional issues course. The concept of
