Instead ofrelying on partial credit or averaging scores across graded events, this approach requires studentsto meet clearly defined learning objectives before receiving credit. Furthermore, assessments areclearly and transparently mapped to learning objectives. As a result, grades become a more accu-rate representation of what students understand at the end of a course.In this work, we describe the implementation of

While computational fields such as computer science and electrical engineering havelong embraced data-driven approaches, interdisciplinary domains like civil and environmentalengineering (CEE) are increasingly integrating data science into their education and practice. Inaddition, while the programming skills used in computational fields often lend themselves well todata science practice, there is more often a gap in skills for practitioners in other interdisciplinarydomains. For instance, the traditional CEE curriculum could benefit from a greater emphasis onpopular open source programming languages such as Python.

While this can be challenging in higher education settings,where it is not typically possible for instructors to visit students’ home communities tounderstand their cultural and everyday experiences and then design curricula that connect tothose experiences, there are ways to identify such funds of knowledge [9].
