Similarly, environmental engineering students need to: move towards systems-based solutions; become proactive in anticipating problems; and cultivate diversity and engagecollaboratively with stakeholders and other disciplines [25]. By developing EM, we supportengineering students’ “mindset toward innovation” and help them learn how to “proactivelyanticipate problems.” Many studies surrounding EM and Entrepreneurially Minded Learning(EML) have been conducted regarding classroom and curricular interventions [26]–[29], mindsetassessment [30]–[33], and alignment with ABET

acknowledgesthat infrastructure design requires consideration of diverse settings and the needs of thecommunity as a whole rather than as a collection of individuals [32]. Too often, communityimpacts are only considered after the design has been developed according to the technicalcriteria. Through the use of CCD, the design can be developed from the start with both technicaland human criteria in mind. CCD emphasizes that both asking multiple community stakeholderswhat they need and observing how they interact with the system in question may be a better wayto ensure the community feels heard and the engineer understands where improvements can bemade to better fit the way people use a system [32].Another approach to addressing sociotechnical problems such

In the course, students must showaptitude in key course learning objectives, separated into three skill sets: Required Skills, MajorSkills, and Minor Skills. To test students in the skills, the instructor adapted previous homework,in class assignments, and exam questions to meet the needs of the listed skill. For some skills, thestudents can submit more than once, whereas in others, the students might need to submit a newassignment problem. In all cases, students have the chance to be evaluated, receive correction, andthen be evaluated again. This cycle builds trust between students and

A notable critique was that AIintegration sometimes reduced class time for geotechnical content, with one student commenting,“We spent too much class time talking about AI instead of geotechnical engineering.” Bothgroups expressed concerns about AI as a crutch, despite initial optimism, highlighting a nuancedconfidence dynamic influenced by implementation approach. The qualitative responses suggestthat students remained mindful of maintaining a balance between AI assistance and directinstructor engagement throughout the course.DiscussionThis study reveals complex dynamics of structured AI implementation in a technical engineeringcourse, with three

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
