systems. This was followed by a waste characterizationevent where students sorted and weighed misclassified waste. The main task required students touse data analysis and computer programming to address a specific research question aboutcampus waste. The final deliverable included a memo to the Center for Sustainability presentingthe research question, data analysis and actionable recommendations to reduce waste entering thelandfill.Data for this study comes from pre- and post- course surveys that gather both quantitative andqualitative insights. A pilot of the course was offered in Fall 2023, generating initial findings,and was offered again in Winter 2025, with an enrollment of 48 students. Where possible, datawill be disaggregated to explore

) education:integrating diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) principles to counter systemic racismwhen teaching the infrastructure lifecycle. The research team piloted the Group ConceptMapping (GCM) methodology to identify and prioritize actionable strategies that can guide theeducation of future engineers in addressing racial inequities in infrastructure projects. Thefindings from this pilot study demonstrate that GCM is feasible, and valuable results are likely tobe obtained from a more extensive study. A total of 15 participants contributed to GCM activitiesin this pilot study. Forty statements generated by the participants were clustered and rated by theparticipants to create concept maps to understand the importance, implementation feasibility

success. Future efforts should prioritize the creationof equity-focused modules that can be integrated into the engineering curriculum. These modulesmight include interdisciplinary case studies, sustainability-focused projects, and workshops ledby practitioners to provide students with practical, contextual learning experiences. Additionally,pilot programs could be established to evaluate the effectiveness of these modules, collectingfeedback from both students and educators to refine and expand their application. Collaboratingwith industry professionals can also help create frameworks that ensure equity education remainsrelevant to current practices and aligns with professional standards. These initiatives willcontribute to the development of a
