Artificial intelligence (AI) as a field hasbeen developing over the course of these last decades, but in the past few years has taken moreimportance in the field of higher education, specifically in careers such as Civil Engineering.As a result, the purpose of this study is to explore the development of critical thinking in WaterResources students by using artificial intelligence programs. Platforms such as ChatGPT canassist students in interpreting given information, such as waterway sizing, water supply andenvironmental laws to facilitate the learning process.

). The coastal engineering class presents an excellent opportunity to close that gap. Moststudents in the course are senior undergrads or graduate students, nearing their entry (or re-entry)into their professional careers, so the authors decided to hone in on the professional aspect ofcollaboration, as a way to move from simple team projects to what Ellis, Han, and Pardo wouldrefer to as “productive collaboration” (2018, p. 130). When developing the course interventionsdiscussed in this paper, the authors focused less on which skills needed to be taught, and more onshifting the context from undergraduate education to a setting more akin to professionalenvironments. The aforementioned gap between graduate preparation and employee readiness

introductory engineering lab courses inmechanical engineering.The concept of a community of practice is popularly attributed to Lave and Wenger in theirseminal work on situated learning in 1991 [12]. Hoadley describes the development of the ideaof a community of practice moving from a descriptive concept to a prescriptive one, with CoPsfirst being studied and understood and then built intentionally [13]. He also differentiates anincidental community of practice that is distinguished by its shared practices from a moreintentional knowledge-building community that has both agency and a mission to learn. Etienneand Beverly Wenger-Trayner have spent much of their careers refining the CoP concept, offeringthis definition [14]: “Communities of practice are

Another challenge is that printed structures do nothave to conform to typical prismatic members. Material placement can be optimized to reduceself-weight and material usage. Finally, this technology is relatively new to the civil engineeringdiscipline, but they are likely to encounter it in their future careers. Students must interact withrobotics and machine coding to generate a printed structure. Despite these unique opportunities,3D printing concrete in a civil engineering course is not well-documented [8]. This work servesto provide an example of using 3D printed concrete in an

and collaboration will be needed to ensure continuity andcoverage.When the semester system starts in Fall 2026, the first-year students will complete their degreesentirely on the semester system. Those classes which entered in the Fall of 2023, 2024 and 2025will experience part of their academic careers under a mixture of quarters and semesters. Therewill need to be a transition program for each of these classes. With a commitment to not delayany student’s path to graduation and the implementation of well-crafted course substitutions thatalways favor the student, this can be achieved with minimum rancor. The good news is that theproblem only lasts for three years and simply needs to be endured.Conclusions

It was not only learning the language but the whole culture, how they live their childhood, how they relate to the environment, with society in general… For the first time in my career, I detected how I could apply engineering in many more aspects than I imagined… The idea was to propose a project because they do not believe in the national government. They have their own community and their own laws. The idea was to propose a project to help the community… Most (indigenous people) could not read or write. So, they have political proposals from the current government, and we sort of advised them. (Student C, Colombian University)This experience increased

Interleaved practice has beendemonstrated to improve student learning and retention of technical skills, though the literatureon this practice is smaller than others [5].Interleaved practice involves practicing already-learned material along with newly learnedmaterial. When all homework or quiz problems are bunched together, students expect that everyproblem must be a variant of the skill they are practicing. However, when homework or quizproblems draw from mixed material, students practice thinking through which solution methodsto use and how to apply what they know [5], [11].
