sustainability offers the only viable path to human safety, equity, health, andprogress” [21, p. 6]. There are strong synergies between ideas of generational equity andsustainable development, for example [22], [23]. Within civil engineering, the infrastructuresustainability rating system Envision [24] is commonly used. Envision has been integrated intoengineering education as a method to educate students about sustainability [25], [26], [27]. DEIissues are included within the Envision credits including the following examples: • QL1.2 Enhance Public Health and Safety [24, p. 32] • “Measures taken to increase safety and provide health benefits on the project site, surrounding sites, and the broader community in a just and equitable

The gameis designed as a cooperative board game to emphasize the feature of multi-criteria decision-making by facilitating discussion among players who would have different weights on theconsidered criteria. The multi-criteria nature can demonstrate all the different facets a structuralengineer will need to consider as they design infrastructure for communities and work to

,CE205 had a SFR of 53:1, more than two and a half times the recommended upper limit. Moving the coursefrom a single facilitator to a team-teaching model and splitting the course enrollment into two sectionsbrought the ratio down to 13:1, leaving room for projected continued enrollment growth. A comprehensiveLearning Management System (LMS) page was released at the start of the Spring 2024 semester, and thevalue of visually representing the course structure has been useful in managing the large class. Throughdeliberate reference to the LMS at the beginning of most class sessions, students are encouraged to engagewith the platform frequently and recognize the course design sequence.

Traditional engineering courses are typically offered in aninstructor-centered environment which impacts everything from content delivery to student engagementand learning. A decade ago, we initiated a major project in curriculum reform that included flipping threesecond-year civil engineering courses

In this effort, CFD recruited external evaluatorswho had extensive program assessment experiences from the broader engineering educationcommunity to conduct two successive, comprehensive program evaluations for the ETW inSummer 2021 and Summer 2022. To diminish confirmation bias in the evaluation efforts, CFDintentionally sought external evaluators who had no prior connection to CFD or the ETW.

[11, 12] introduced knowledge surveys (KS) to develop self-assessment skills instudents. Rather than requiring students to provide answers to learning prompts, KS requirestudents to rate their ability to perform the specified skill tied to a learning objective. Pre-courseor pre-unit of instruction KS allow faculty to discern prior knowledge students may bring to thecourse while serving as a cognitive “heads up” for students of learning objectives and material tocome [10]. KS completed in close proximity to an assessment event (e.g., exam, design project,or writing assignment) allow faculty to compare students’ self-assessments of learning with theirown assessments of student learning (i.e., the grade on the assignment). Such comparisons

Several example retrieval practicequizzes are included in the appendix. Usually, quizzes were completed individually, butsometimes they were completed with a partner to encourage community or shared learning. Thelevel of difficulty varied depending on the goal and timing within the semester. Sometimes thesepractices were easier, reviewing past information and sometimes they were harder to preparestudents for an upcoming test. Retrieval practice quizzes included questions on assigned reading,previous lecture content, and homework. This encouraged students to keep pace with readingsections

Cruz and Kellam [7] conducted in-depth interviews with 21 engineering students,including seven female students, in several programs and synthesized their findings through theperspective of the narrative arc of classic adventure stories. They found that high self-efficacy inmath and science and a background in tinkering with engineering toys or projects earlier in theireducation were among the strongest motivators to choose a major in

For example, in Spring 2022, the homework grade category scores rangedfrom 66% to 104% with an average of 88%.While the initial submission with immediate assessment implementation continues to incentivizestudents to attempt all problems through “completion” points, it removes the grade incentive forreviewing the instructor-provided solution. In this way, students must become more independentin their metacognitive skills and find ways to incentivize their own learning from mistakes.
