In our courses, we use case studies and simulation/game-likeactivities. Prado et al. [15] found that both simulations and case studies as pedagogical toolsworked well to convey the main ideas in a course on sustainable development.In this paper, we describe our approach within a Civil and Environmental Engineeringdepartment, where we have developed two policy-oriented courses for upper-level undergraduateand graduate students. The primary questions we answered when developing the policy forengineers courses were 1) what learning objectives to prioritize and 2) what teaching and

Bothwriting exercises are built from a template that includes several metacognitive prompts to spurself-reflection on the part of the user. A rule-based approach was taken to detect evidence ofcommon misconceptions [2] and errors in student responses, as well as to identify sentences thatrevealed the student was correctly addressing the problems.

We were interested in howparticipants’ perceived the role of topical expertise because research suggests engineering faculty see it ascritically important [15]. When asked about the role and importance of a teacher's topical knowledge, participants’consensus was that it could be assumed, rather than being something that differentiated good or bad teaching. Wesee this as important, and likely contextual. Upon reflection, we see it as unsurprising for participants in ourinstitutional context to see faculty as inherently experts to the point that it can be unspoken.

This operational definition is based onprior research and states that ICC “reflects a person’s capability to gather, interpret, and actupon these radically different cues to function

As engineers have become familiar with qualitative methodologies [1-2],researchers have begun to explore different types of approaches to illuminate the humanexperience. It is clear that different engineers, engineering students, and engineering facultyexperience their education and careers differently, which modern studies have only begun todescribe [4-6

This difficultyis especially true in engineering-focused entities where the parties that have historically managedexisting workspaces and their resources may not be as familiar with the pedological approachesand philosophies behind these areas.
