Then, the developed game is explained briefly with the learninggoal and topics. We implemented this learning module in two different settings, first for 25 highschoolers at a civil and environmental engineering departmental summer camp and second for alittle under 30 community resilience researchers at the National Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST)’s Center of Excellence for Community Resilience semi-annual meeting.Feedback was collected after the second implementation which is presented as well to discuss themodule’s future development

ReviewA brief review of literature on the incorporation of curricula related to DEI and the assessmentmethods utilized was conducted. These treatments ranged from separate courses related to DEI[3], activities embedded into first-year courses [4,5,6], design courses and design experiences[3,6,7], and embedded activities across multiple courses within the curricula [6,7]. The methodsutilized to assess the impact of DEI curricula were survey instruments using a Likert scale. Theseinstruments varied in breadth and degree of validation. The short form of the Miville-GuzmanUniversality Diversity Scale (M-GUDS-S) [8] was considered to be too general and not directlyapplicable to the engineering profession. Even the short form has 42 items in the survey
as an Analogy for CollegeThere are parallels between a student’s college experience and football, such as: Lows and highs – The lows might be season(s) long or might last only part of the game. Team work – Many of the CE students received coursework help from other students and general support from friends and family.Pervasive sports analogies may be annoying, but perhaps students absorb these models [25]. Iaspire to having my students view me as a coach rather than a ref (enforcing rules) or theopposing team (putting up roadblocks to prevent students from reaching their goal of success inthe course or earning their degree).

such as this. Instead, students were encouraged to reflect ontheir own strengths and challenges and make choices based on their understanding of theirabilities. Following every exam and the group project, the students were asked to respond toreflection questions, encouraging them to take ownership of their learning. For example, after themidterm II exam, the students were asked to answer the following questions among others: a)What was/were the most important factor/s behind your performance in Midterm-II exam? b)“How well do you expect to perform in Midterm-III exam? What is/are your plan(s) to achievethat?”The term group project was part of the Project-Based Learning implementation in the course andhad specific milestones for deliverables
reviewing and correctingstudent work is that we see students as more likely to do their homework correct the first time ifthey will be asked to make corrections and resubmit. A mostly correct submittal is quicker toreview than one fraught with errors and omissions. The student desire to do less work works tofaculty advantage here, in superior initial submissions. This held true at both mid-term and finalacross the semester(s).The process has not been without its struggles. After several years and multiple courses,consistent issues have emerged. Key among these issues is uniform and class-wide homeworksubmittals in a timely manner, and then in getting the homework revisions in in a timely manner.Initial iterations of the ungraded approach had no
