as “thetendency to sustain interest in and effort toward very long-term goals,” Duckworth developed atheoretical model with grit as a key characteristic and predictor of success (Duckworth et al.,2007).3 The initial SPARK cohort was certainly interested in engineering or computer sciencewhile they were in high school. Their application essays in response to a “grit” related promptattested to their willingness to take their interest to the next level and make the effort to get acollege degree in those fields. “I feel adequately prepared to undertake my chosen STEM major, computer science, due to the fact that I have an absolute passion for programming and technology in general, and a mind that loves to think in code and

transformations.Traditionally, only a small fraction of CE engineers has been tasked with decision-making thatrequired a multi-dimensional view of how infrastructure components come together to form afunctioning system, most of whom acquired the “specialist” system analysis skills throughgraduate studies. As it is unrealistic to require all CE engineers to acquire these skills through agraduate program, it is our strong belief that students graduating with a bachelor’s degree need tobe introduced to these concepts during their undergraduate education. There are two hundred andninety ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited four-year CEengineering programs in the US producing more than 15,000 graduates each year [2].
