Resolution 946-22 [3]. While five years seems like ample time to make this transition, itis not. The timeline shows that the time between the announcement of the decision to thesubmission of every academic department’s plan was only sixteen months. This paper chroniclesthe conversion to semester effort during this time period for the architectural engineering(ARCE) program and suggests a formalized methodology that other programs and institutionscan use if found in the same situation. The paper attempts to focus on the process and thechallenges of this conversion more than the specific details of the ARCE curriculum.

Part 1 of the ICP requires a comprehensiveassessment of the existing site, including topography, slopes, land use, soils, and zoningcalculations, which provide real constraints and regulations for the students to adhere to whendeveloping a conceptual site plan layout. Once provided with a final site plan design for Part 2,students apply spatial analysis tools to evaluate drainage patterns and earthwork volumes, extractprofiles from existing and proposed surfaces, calculate quantities for

At our school, civilengineering students take a senior seminar course that has a collection of topics to prepare themfor successful entry into and growth throughout their professional life. Among the topics in ourinitial offering of this seminar course was one seminar on the basics of financial literacy andmanagement, which proved to be very popular and highly rated as to its perceived usefulness bythe students. As a result of student feedback, the seminar was expanded to two seminar periods.This led the author to ask the questions: (1) is there a need for financial literacy education

MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change

Additionally, it includes $1 billion to "reconnect communities,"primarily black and low-income neighborhoods that were divided by previously built highwaysand infrastructure developments, and $21 billion for the environmental cleanup of hazardouswaste sites [2]. According to Biden's plan, $20 billion would be allocated to fund neighborhood-driven initiatives to move motorways and regenerate urban cores, along with more equitableplans for multimodal infrastructure or sustainable green space [3].

to describe this type of assessment plan may vary, including Standards Based Grading orSpecifications Based Grading [3], the end result is the same: students are given multipleopportunities to show mastery at a particular skill or course learning objective.Intuitively, this approach makes sense, especially when engineering programs themselves areevaluated on a continuous improvement plan for ABET accreditation [6]. However, it is not oftenthe case in higher education in the United States to see a constant learning cycle presented to thestudents. While most instructors would agree that student learning is the highest priority, manycourses still offer a limited number of high-stakes assessments, which ultimately represent asignificant
