Finally, this study wouldbe valuable for implementing SI and enhancing the project management skills of the future AECworkforce.BackgroundSustainable infrastructures (SI) must be planned, built, and maintained carefully to fulfill theirintended function due to their complex design and construction. Such complex projects typicallyinvolve a wide range of stakeholders. These stakeholders hold diverse roles and responsibilitiesincluding setting the project's parameters and performance standards to running and maintainingthe finished infrastructure, all of which vary as the project progresses [1].

These findings offer some initial insight into the challenges faced by female minoritystudents in STEM fields in terms of degree completion and retention. This analysis marks thebeginning of a journey to understand their experiences, and plans are in progress for the nextphase of this study, which is scheduled for the fall 2023 semester. The next phase will focus onidentifying the barriers that these students face and will include activities aimed at improvingtheir confidence, preparedness and sense of belonging. Section 6.0

Initially planned to fit within the college’s BA footprint, a degree neededto provide some formal engineering training while still pursuing external interests such as varsitysports and musical ensembles. Many students come into college still exploring their interests, soa program with flexibility to discover engineering while in college would serve them better thanprograms at other institutions in the greater geographic area that provide specialized engineeringdegrees.Pilot ProgramThe engineering program started in the physics department, with a proposal for an EngineeringScience major

Its central premise isthat once the educational purposes (i.e., the learning outcomes) of a learning experience areconscientiously selected, the rest of the elements of the experience (i.e., the pedagogical activities, andcorresponding assessments) should be designed toward the achievement of those identified outcomes [5].Therefore, the three main stages of backward design are: (1) identifying desired results, (2) determiningacceptable evidence, and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction

In general, this approach led to effective and efficient experiments, and also served as a model to think creatively and methodically for solving engineering problems and planning prototype development.

. However, in recent years, many of the manufacturing-related machines haveevolved to be non-hands-on. Consequently, more time is spend planning the process, for instancein CAD/CAM environments. The analysis of data is becoming more important in recent years aswell. Not just since the rise of Industry 4.0 is the number of sensors steadily increasing,generating an ever bigger amount of data. Along with this trend, the learning goals of laboratorycourses shift accordingly – from manual operation of machines towards process planning,observation and data analysis. This enables to use of so-called remote laboratories as part offlipped laboratory concepts, given their shifted focus of achievable learning outcomes [2], [6].Such remote laboratories are
