education for an equally long time.In 1968, the ASEE stated “In engineering colleges it is vital that there be the fullestpossible integration of research with the educational purpose of the university.” 12Although research experiences give students significant educational benefit, they do notreplace the skills learned through a rigorous and disciplined design process. Theoutcomes of design are vastly different than those of research. Those differences make itnecessary to differentiate between the experiences and ensure students receive theeducation necessary to function as an engineer in today’s society. While it is clear thatdesign is an absolute requirement of an engineering curriculum, the shades of gray willcontinue to challenge the

While these topics have begun to enter the broader civil and environmentalengineering curriculum and have made monumental gains in coverage [1], they have less oftenbeen integrated into structural engineering. The current undergraduate structural engineeringcurriculum at our institution lacks the incorporation and facilitation of the necessary skills tosupport the entrepreneurial mindset development needed for multi-faceted disaster riskmanagement.
