, this community can continue to grow and self-sustain.The CoP described in this paper is in its infancy and is aligned with the concept of a knowledge-building community. The “CoP meeting” described here was a first meeting of a group of looselyknit participants in an NSF-funded project to study engineering laboratory report writing with awriting transfer lens. Participants at the meeting had engaged directly with at least one of thethree institutional principal investigators (PIs) to supply student writing samples from theirlaboratory-based courses. The five participating instructors, representing the mechanical,electrical, and civil engineering disciplines, had used a series of instructional modules preparedby the PIs to improve their

Graduatestudents can co-enroll in the senior level courses but take additional rigor in their semestercompared to the undergraduates. Key differences between the junior and senior level courses arethat the senior level courses have less assigned homework and a semester-long term project. Thissemester-long term project includes two interim deliverables that are reviewed by the instructorand revised by the students into a final deliverable. These projects are group projects that are anearly complete design of an engineered system such as the foundations for a large, big boxstore, using the actual site information for a real-world project, the actual structural loads fromthe actual

Demonstrated uses of AI in professional civil engineering practice are not asprevalent. The slow rate of adoption may be influenced by the conservative nature of civilengineering stemming from its direct charge of protecting human health and safety. Also,adoption of AI into civil engineering education is currently limited, so future civil engineers lacktraining and expertise in its application [3]. Additionally, AI models typically lack transparency,which is counter to civil engineering design methods that rely on codes and

). 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.

many civil engineering departments inpostsecondary institutions. While there have been moments where enrollments begin to increase,civil engineering departments find themselves facing low enrollments that have decreased by 60%over the last five years across the Middle East and the United States. There are many reasons thatcould be attributed to this decline, such as low entry-level salaries, over-saturation of civilengineering graduates in the job market in certain regions, and a lack of construction projects dueto the impending or current recession. Low enrollment also has an effect on the availability ofcivil engineers, especially in times of high demand, such as the passing of the recent USlegislature on rebuilding infrastructure. However
