climate change. Theintroduction of new courses in risk and resilience and Game Theory at the graduate level isproducing engineers with the capabilities to address the challenges of climate change in newways.IntroductionClimate change is one of the greatest societal challenges of the 21st Century, the impacts ofwhich extend throughout the critical infrastructure systems that society depends on for daily life.It is the responsibility of engineers to design, maintain, and protect critical infrastructure systemssuch that the quality-of-life of at-risk communities can be preserved. With this in mind, thefuture engineers that are being produced through universities and colleges must be prepared forchallenges that are unlike what has been historically

Engineering Courses to Enhance Student LearningAbstractIn recent years, many universities are looking for alternatives to in-person teaching. Offeringengineering courses in online formats: either fully web-based or hybrid format can be quitechallenging. While some students still prefer in-person teaching for engineering courses, thereare also significant benefits to online formats. For many universities/programs, it is a way ofattracting nontraditional students as well as students from other universities since it generatesadditional student credit hours, which would not be possible with traditional in-person class.With this in mind, we started offering two engineering courses: one design class at theundergraduate level, and another materials class at

thatmany of those basic concepts are already covered with the same nomenclature in the Physics classwhich is a prerequisite. Clearly the students did not learn or retain the material. At a program level,we have to do everything we can to convince the students that retention is the goal and cramming isa terrible idea.Entrepreneurial MindsetA successful researcher, businessman, or entrepreneur is curious about the world: they connect ideasand solutions to create value. These same traits make great engineers, great teachers, great novelists,great surgeons, and even great factory employees.More and more 21st-century jobs will ask employees to be creative, to notice and capitalize onconnections between unexpected things, and to keep in mind the
