Their reflections highlight how teams and stories may be used together toaugment student connections and project outcomes, adding value both to the learning experienceand outcomes, and, in so doing, to future academic and professional project experiences.Ultimately this creates students who are more self-aware and proficient in collaboration, identifymore deeply with the profession, and can integrate the 3Cs into their work.Introduction and Literature Review Typically, higher education is centered around the cognitive domain, i.e., the developmentof knowledge and skills.

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

Forexample, it has been argued that engineering education should put greater emphasis onengineers’ social responsibility toward "an equal distribution of rights, opportunities, andresources in order to enhance human capabilities and reduce the risk and harms among thecitizens of a society" [4, p. 10]. Thus, complementary education on social justice implications ofcivil engineering may benefit civil engineering education further.We argue that integration of social implications

. This may be partially due tostudents not perceiving civil engineering as exciting. ASCE’s Future World Vision project(FWV) may provide a way to spark student interest in civil engineering. This paper explores thereception of first-year students enrolled in an introductory CE course to FWV. In 2022 FWV wasintegrated at multiple points during the semester by making small modifications in the topics andassignments that were already part of the course. The FWV video was shown on the first day ofclass. On the first significant homework assignment of the semester, students were given achoice of learning about civil engineering by selecting two of four readings or websites; amongthe four options, FWV was the most popular, selected by 59% of the
