As each program stands, there is already a highnumber of undergraduate course units to meet graduation criteria set by accreditation bodies,offering little flexibility in a department’s curriculum flowchart to create new courses to addressDEI. At present, some students take on extra elective courses in ethnic studies and related fields(beyond their degree’s general education requirements) to further their knowledge on DEI issues.The authors anticipate that similar challenges are experienced across faculty in built environmentprograms (and more broadly science, technology, engineering, and math - STEM) regardless ofthe U.S. region they serve or presence in a teaching or research-oriented institution.

Innovative learning examples such as kinematics with algebraiccomplex numbers, relative velocity matrix transformation from 1-Dim to 2-Dim with createdcollision parameters, and collision with apparent mass from spring energy were delivered tostudents while the working memory cognitive loadings were controlled.
