solving the pressing societal challenges ofthe Anthropocene.MethodsInstitutional context. Located in Rolla, Missouri, the Missouri University of Science andTechnology was founded in 1870 as the Missouri School of Mines. In 2023, a total of more than7,000 students (approximately 1,500 graduate and 5,500 undergraduate) are enrolled inapproximately 100 degree programs. Currently characterized as a Carnegie R2, a doctoraluniversity with high research activity, S&T is home to three colleges. Within the College ofEngineering and Computing, the Department of Civil, Architectural, and EnvironmentalEngineering (or CArE) is one of the largest and most research productive programs on campus.Course description.

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). Faculty should remember that our students may be facing anarray of challenges (personal health challenges
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

Theinstructor’s guide has six modules, while the student’s has thirteen. Each module has a separateweb page with graphics and example files. Figure 1 shows module page examples from eachguide.After collecting all the written lab instructional materials from the participating lab courses, wereviewed them quantitatively to identify which module(s) from the guides were used for each labcourse in the experiment year. This approach showed how participating lab instructors used ourmodules to update their lab writing instructions. We also conducted a qualitative analysis tocompare

In this way, Group 2 was used as acontrol group to prevent all students from seeing the qualitative questions
)Overall Preparedness of UndergraduatesWhen evaluating the overall structural engineering skills of graduates, 72% of practitioners [14]and 83% of educators [15] felt that they were not well prepared to enter the workforce. Clearlythere is still room to improve structural engineering and analysis undergraduate education withrespect to preparing graduates for practice. Looking specifically at structural analysis courses,practitioners and educators agree that traditional classical (“hand”) methods are highly important.But both groups also clearly agree (if not even more strongly) on the importance of studentcompetency in applying the concepts, learned through classical methods, within computerprograms.From the early 1800’s and the first industrial

investigated offered anundergraduate- or graduate-level course(s) in timber design, although the frequency of teachingis often not clear. The analysis of available undergraduate-level coursework suggests thatstructural engineering programs do not prioritize the instruction of timber-related courses,resulting in limited timber design education. These results provide clarity on the need foradditional curriculum to ensure graduating structural engineers are prepared to work with masstimber elements. Additionally, the available course inventory and interview results suggest thatincreased prioritization of timber courses and resources is needed to support a growth ininstruction of mass timber within the structural engineering discipline.IntroductionAmong
