The first author's (instructor's) experience through end-of-semester student reflections in her other classes and classroom observations strongly supportsstudents' receptiveness to practice mindfulness in the classroom. It is worth noting that theinstructor has been utilizing mindfulness activities in sophomore to senior-level civil engineeringand fundamental mechanics courses for the past four years.Mindfulness practices, innovation, and creativity: Cognition is all forms of knowing andawareness, such as perceiving, conceiving, remembering, reasoning, judging, imagining, andproblem-solving [7].

Toassess the perceived impact on learning and perceived difficulty we will be asking the students tocomplete a simple survey (See Appendix D.) To assess a delta in comprehension of diversity,equity, inclusion, and social justice, we will be giving the same pre- and post-assessment askingstudents to define each of the above. (See Appendix E.) After the hands-on activity students willalso reflect on how they think the activity is related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Evidence of the effectiveness of the DEI integration approaches is provided viacontent analysis of a homework assignment and the final reflective essay. In addition, there wasno evidence of student resistance to DEI topics in the course.

Thetheory states that through experience and reflection on various experiences, individuals areguided to construct their understanding and knowledge of the world [11]. Experiment-centeredpedagogy integrates problem-based activities and constructivist education by allowing studentsto actively engage in the learning process by drawing on their prior experiences andunderstanding to generate new information or understanding.According to constructivism, learning takes place under the following four assumptions: 1. Learning involves active cognitive processing. 2. Learning is adaptive. 3. Learning is subjective, not objective

but also sustainable [6], [7]. However, sustainability is frequentlyreferred to as environmental sustainability, overlooking its other two essential pillars: social andeconomic. Thus, infrastructure systems frequently lack social justice which leads to anunbalanced influence on different populations through different mechanisms, such as eviction,exposure to environmental danger, and access to necessary services. Even while engineers andpolicymakers base their decisions on technical and engineering factors, social and racialdisparities are exacerbated by stakeholders' choices, which reflect current economic and politicalframeworks [8].
