CE450: Construction Management. The purpose of the InfrastructureEngineering core engineering sequence is to focus “on the design, analysis, and construction ofthe built environment, (i.e., man-made structures and facilities used to accommodate societies’activities). Cadets learn about the importance of the infrastructure sectors, such as water, power,and transportation, and their interrelationships” [11]. The integrative experience for theInfrastructure Engineering core engineering sequence is the designing, planning, and presentingof a construction management plan for a contingency base camp within a combat theater ofoperations.Table 1: Sequence of courses and course objectives in the Infrastructure Core EngineeringSequenceCE350

However, the implementation of PtD in the constructionindustry faces several challenges that hinder its widespread adoption. This paper aims to betterunderstand the key factors negatively influencing civil engineers' ability to utilize PtD. Theresearch team, therefore, conducted a survey aimed at gathering insights from engineeringpractitioners regarding the factors that might impede its utilization and the role of engineers inits implementation. The findings indicate that various factors contribute to the challenge, suchas the absence of PtD educational materials

to describe this type of assessment plan may vary, including Standards Based Grading orSpecifications Based Grading [3], the end result is the same: students are given multipleopportunities to show mastery at a particular skill or course learning objective.Intuitively, this approach makes sense, especially when engineering programs themselves areevaluated on a continuous improvement plan for ABET accreditation [6]. However, it is not oftenthe case in higher education in the United States to see a constant learning cycle presented to thestudents. While most instructors would agree that student learning is the highest priority, manycourses still offer a limited number of high-stakes assessments, which ultimately represent asignificant

Thereare three general types of appraisals: confidential, open, and semi-open / semi-secret. Aconfidential appraisal does not include the appraised employee in the appraisal process [3]. Foran open appraisal, the appraised employee achieves self-awareness by being made aware ofstrengths, weaknesses, contributions, and shortcomings. This method of appraisal is reflectiveand involves the establishment of a plan of action [3]. A semi-open / semi-secret appraisalincludes the appraised employee at the beginning of the process and later removes theirparticipation until they receive their final rating [3].The

Social justice was also made a center point for the 2021Biden Infrastructure plan, which promised “40% of the benefits of climate and cleaninfrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities” [11]. These initiatives further the pushfor engineers to consider how engineering projects can serve both the technical requirementsthey are designed for and the communities they are built in.Understanding the social aspects has traditionally come with professional experience; however,giving engineering students an understanding of the social elements during their time in schoolcan encourage early development and implementation of this understanding [9].

However, winning is not the onlybenefit of these competitions. By participating, students are exposed to an open-ended,interdisciplinary problem, which requires them to think critically about a problem and formulateinnovative solutions. Moreover, it provides the students an opportunity to apply the technicalknowledge gained during their academic journey such as structural analysis, project planning,design optimization, sustainability, and cost analysis to a real-world
