soil samples, a soil moisture sensor, an Arduino Uno, and a datastreamer installed on Microsoft Excel. Learners were able to conduct the experiment using thishands-on device. The instructor explained the investigations' background concepts to them. Thesamples were prepared at various moisture levels and given to the learners to use in theexperiment. Using a data streamer, they were able to read moisture content readings in real-time.Prior to testing, Arduino code had been integrated to allow for simple conversion from electricalto digital phase. In other tests, the Arduino has produced consistent results for various datagathering and streaming tasks [21]. At the end of the experiment, the learners were able toanalyze, understand, and draw

sponsoredresearch design projects or community service design-build projects.The capstone course consists of a project completed over two semesters, giving the students anopportunity to apply and integrate their civil engineering knowledge from multiple sub-disciplines in an open-ended project. Paramount to the capstone experience is the application ofthe engineering design process. By implementing the Steel Bridge and Concrete Canoecompetitions as a project in the capstone course, it ensures that the projects have dedicatedleaders, advisors, time, and resources to facilitate competing at a high level. The capstoneprogram includes both group and individual graded requirements broken down into coursedirected group deliverables (25%), individual ABET student

scenario is well described in a written manner withwell-defined constraints such that there exists a singular “correct” answer [3]. In order to moreeffectively prepare students for careers within the field of engineering which necessitates thatgraduates have the ability to generate solutions to ill-structured problems, the ABET EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) [5] has emphasized the importance of integrating such ill-structured problems within civil engineering curriculum. ABET EAC has identified complexproblem solving skills (Outcome 1) as one of its defined learning outcomes. Specifically, thisincludes the “ability to… solve complex engineering problems by applying principles ofengineering, science, and mathematics.” Concurrently, ABET

graduates and projected needed civil engineerscontinues to grow. With recent investment in infrastructure through the Infrastructure Investmentand Jobs Act, additional civil engineers will be needed to design, build, and maintain civilinfrastructure. An innovative summer course at Purdue University aims to decrease the spacebetween the needed civil engineers and students graduating with an undergraduate civilengineering degree by helping pre-college students understand what types of problems civilengineers solve. This one-week course focuses on exposing students to both the depth andbreadth of civil engineering and has explored various topics, including resiliency versussustainability, design for tomorrow’s loads and problems, the use of novel

, group structure, high stakes tests) [26-28], instead offering opportunities to recover from poor grades (e.g., submit test corrections forpartial credit, drop their lowest score) and build a growth mindset [e.g., 29]. Instructors shouldalso consider hidden curriculum related to overwork [30-32]. If we imply that engineeringstudents should always be studying, this might contribute to poor mental health. It might alsodiscourage students from persisting in engineering to earn their degree or enter the engineeringworkforce. Alternatively, we can encourage students to develop a healthy balance which includesattending to the eight dimensions of well-being via an array of activities.References[1] National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and

development in civil engineering. The research questions intended tobe addressed through this study are outlined as follows: (i) How does participation in an integrative design project involving 3D printing with concrete influence students' understanding of engineering design processes? (ii) To what extent do projects incorporating emerging additive technologies like 3D concrete printing enhance students' skills in experimental design and material design concepts within a civil engineering curriculum? (iii) Given that prototyping is not commonly emphasized in civil engineering, what are students' perceptions of the value and relevance of prototyping in civil engineering after participating in the

Integrating a social justicemindset in engineering would normalize universal design while reducing the social acceptabilityfor “unforeseen” consequences.” This group subsequently convened bi-weekly with the aim ofcollaboratively developing a series of comprehensive lessons that could be shared with the largerCIT-E community of practice and would follow the established CIT-E lesson template.Motivated by the literature mentioned previously, the group decided to focus on the use of casestudies of past and current infrastructure projects that resulted in social inequities as a vehicle.Case studies have been

toward community needs. It also,importantly, requires that students tie their work with the community to a deeper understandingof their discipline.Service learning plays an important role in engineering education because it connects the oftentheoretical engineering curriculum to the world they are seeking to better. Historically, mostengineering classes have been heavily focused on imparting science and math knowledge to thestudents. The students often solve simple technical problems or design well-defined technicalsolutions to theoretical problems. There is, therefore, a gap between what students are toldengineering will be (changing the world) and what they are practicing as students (theoretical,well-defined problems). Project-based service

Engineering programs throughout the country havedeveloped a variety of methods to hone these professional skills and a capstone project experienceis typical. The structure of these courses has evolved to incorporate changes in pedagogy,technology, needs of industry and changes in ABET accreditation requirements. There arenumerous examples in Engineering Education literature of successes in capstone courses includingtips and cases studies of programs running effective capstone projects.
