long-term relationships with STEM role models.Introduction Access to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education for all youthremains an educational equity issue in the United States, particularly for engineering. While theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) added engineering to the K-12 science standards in2013 [1], engineering is not a required subject in most school districts. Instead, engineering isprovided as an elective course, if offered at all. Not only does the integration of engineering inK-12 science classrooms help student learning [2], it provides access to students who might nototherwise be exposed to engineering as a profession. Increased access to engineering in K-12settings is an important step

attainment ofengineering students has been shown to vary significantly between ethnic groups [1]. Whilstit is recognized that the participation rates of minoritized students varies across individualdisciplines within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) [2], thereexists a general underrepresentation of those referred to as ‘BME’ [* see Notes] [3].Participation rates also vary between level of study, with 32.3 % of those accepted onto UKbased engineering undergraduate courses in 2017 classed as ‘BME’, compared to only 22.2%at graduate research level [3].

) examination, particularly the removal of circuits and computationalmethods sections coupled with legislative pressures to keep the number for credit hours to graduate aslow as possible has often led to the removal of basic engineering science courses such as circuits,thermodynamics and numerical methods from undergraduate curricula (Morse et al., 2015) which createsa situation where civil engineers might have difficulties adopting modern technologies in ‘real-world’engineering analysis and design or treat these modern tools as essentially ‘black-boxes’ and use themwithout fully understanding their utility and limitations.The civil engineers of 21st century are confronted with many grand challenges of the future.

Measurement of these outcomes wasaccomplished through course assessments, student evaluations, and the final project showcase results.This remote course structure fostered an engineering mindset, technical know-how, innovation andpromoted essential competencies like teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking. Despite thepandemic-transformed pedagogy, students acquired relevant toolsets for manufacturing, synthesis,analysis, and technology that support engineering solutions.Introduction

In 2020 and 2021, TACoS ran virtually due to COVID-19, revealing a unique opportunity to compare two instances of the CS section of the program. This study focuses on answering two questions: 1) How does video quality impact student partici- pation and engagement; and 2) How does the length of time that content is accessible affect how students engage with course material? Both virtual years (Summers 2020 and 2021), the CS program included five 20–30-minute videos, a corresponding website for students to follow, and physical components that were mailed to each student prior to the course.

Different rating/scoring systems have proliferated over the past decade. Three commonly used rating systems in civil engineering are LEED, STEEP, and Envision. The goal of the LEED certification system is “to create better buildings” [10]. This system is used for individual structures but is not well adapted to larger-scale civil engineering projects.
