Inaddition, the revisions to ABET criterion 5 (curriculum) now include the need to address DEI [2].To accomplish part of the curricular component, we have been working on hands-on activities thatare scalable from a first-year program to upper level courses in the Fred DeMatteis School ofEngineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at Hofstra University, a midsized, private universitylocated in Hempstead, NY.

One full class session, approximately one hour, was devoted to thisactivity and surrounding discussions. After a Jamboard was populated, the class discussed theresponses and then moved on to the next step. Figure 1 shows the general flow of the Jamboards.Figure 1: Outline of Jamboard flow.

Therefore, civil engineers areethically obligated to consider issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice (DEIJ), asacknowledged in the most recent revisions to the American Society of Civil Engineers Code ofEthics [1]. This professional responsibility is shared among those who practice engineeringcurrently – the engineers of today – and those who educate the engineers of tomorrow. There isevidence that engineering faculty increasingly recognize the importance of educating students toapproach problems through a socio-technical lens. However, institutional and professionalsociety efforts around DEIJ continue to focus primarily on issues of representation and

Intelligent application of sensors will allow civil engineersto improve the performance of infrastructure by automatically measuring real-time responses andinterpreting the data to control the systems. Although sensing technologies now proliferate inCEE practice, few undergraduate CEE curricula prepare graduates to work with sensors [1].Experts in civil engineering information technology and computing have long emphasized theimportance of incorporating sensing into CEE curricula (e.g., [2]-[6]).

an Introduction to Design course. These modules enabled students to experience and practice effective teaming skills through role- playing. The modules focused on how to act and how to respond to promote psychological safety on design projects. Each module was tailored to a different phase of the design process. The themes of the three modules are (1) treating every idea as having potential to contribute to a positive outcome, (2) questioning an idea to obtain valuable insight, and (3) applying the brake to improve a decision. To explore the impact of the modules, we deployed a post-course survey to measure students’ perceptions of psychological safety on their project teams.

IntroductionGeophysical methods are useful in subsurface explorations as they are sensitive to contrast inphysical properties of soils over continuous coverage. Electrical Resistivity (ER) surveys havebeen used to investigate soils for over a century and rely on the fact that varying geologicconditions alter the distribution of electrical potential in the ground [1].

In PBL, students work collaboratively or individually toaccomplish the project tasks that require content knowledge and skills and produce a product toshow their knowledge of the content [2].

At the same time, the rise of crowd-sourcedhomework solution services makes finding and copying homework solutions (commonly referredto as “cheating”) exceptionally tempting for even the best students [2]. Clearly, the unquestionedrole of homework in engineering coursework should be re-evaluated, clearly defined, and refinedto accomplish its intended end.Fortunately, ASEE’s active educator community has not been silent on this topic.

. Since then, there have beennumerous adapted definitions proposed and used by various researchers and educators [1]. Thedefinition used in this paper was proposed by Bringle, et al. in 2006: Service learning is a credit-bearing educational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibilityThis definition of service learning works well for engineering classes because it explicitlydescribes the goal of students both identifying and working

have shifted along with advances intechnology used in both engineering practice and education. A brief but comprehensive historyof civil engineering education including the 18th and 19th centuries is given by Aparicio andRuiz-Teran [1]. Civil engineering education in the U.S., starting around the late 18th century,followed two European traditions of British and French origins. The former placed emphasis onpractical application of scientific principles, while the latter put more emphasis on soundtheoretical understanding as a basis of engineering practice. However, many civil engineers werestill trained through apprenticeships and so they received a great deal of practical training.With the technological and economic advancements of the mid and
