origins to the 1994 ASEE report Engineering Education for aChanging World, which, among many other recommendations, asserted that “engineeringeducation must take into account the social, economic, and political contexts of engineeringpractice…” [2, pp. 20–21]. The report emphasized that contextual skills should be deliveredthrough multi- and interdisciplinary coursework, integrated into the existing curriculum, andfocused on an understanding of the ethical dimensions of engineering. A decade later, theNational Academies report Educating the Engineer of 2020 re-emphasized the importance of thethemes of interdisciplinarity, societal context, and ethics to the engineer of the then-future [3].In 2018, Dr. Ruth Graham, in her report on The Global

A pre-survey and post-survey were conducted to determine theimpact of introducing SHRP 2 modules within the courses. The results of the pre-and post-survey are presented. A detailed framework on how to seamlessly integrate SHRP 2 productsthrough the entire civil engineering curriculum in other institutions is also presented.INTRODUCTION

Students were no longer required to register for an ICB in the second year,but provisions were made to accommodate faculty who wished to offer integrated two-courseblocks.

It was suggested that the topic be introduced as a concept, used on anindividual basis later, and finally used in a team setting (either on new large code base or toaccess an existing code base). This topic was not covered in our curriculum except in the CScourse “Software Tools”, which our engineering students cannot typically fit into their schedule.Working with existing codeWhile it is a challenge to approach this in a class setting, the results indicate that it would behelpful if students could gain experience at working with code they didn’t develop, and withbodies of code
