the interviews concluded with anexploration of the participants’ perceptions of how sustainability and resiliency relate to the workof practicing civil engineers, and how they plan to use what they know about sustainability as acivil engineer. The interviews lasted between 15 and 50 minutes length, depending on the depthof students’ experiences with sustainability and resiliency, and their willingness and ability totalk about those experiences. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim.We analyzed the interviews inductively using sensitizing concepts [16] derived from thepreviously presented literature on sustainability and resiliency. The interviews were open-codedto capture the different ways that the participants understood and

A post-project survey (see appendix B forcomplete survey questions) served as the concluding project requirement and assessmenttool.LimitationsThis was the first implementation of this laboratory project. Although students knewfundamentally how to produce injection molded parts and perform tensile tests fromprevious lab experiences, they still encountered difficulties during the project. Forexample, it was hard to set the injection molding process temperatures high enough tomelt the ABS pellets and ensure complete fill of the mold cavity. Similarly, because ofthe relatively high ductility of these thermoplastics, final length measurements were notvery precise. The schedule of the project was affected and some planned

The investigation oftarget users needs is added to the "insights" concluded from the previous two stages, andwithin these areas there is a clear target for the shot at bull's-eye of the chosen concept. That is,after the information about the problems in this or that area is collected, it needs to select a fo-cus. The focus in this case is the combination of the "task" and the "person" in one sentence,that is, the formulation of the task, at which it is planned to work, focused on a specific user. Inorder to create the innovation, we need to solve what is not solved by the others, and every-thing else can be copied. That means, to focus on those problems and tasks that

Thisindicates that implementing projects using the framework discussed herein has a large potentialto further expose students to EML effectively. There can be some difficulties in implementingthis framework, namely student resistance to such a different type of project, and increasedworkload on the instructor, particularly the first time it is implemented. These difficulties dodiminish as the framework is used more both at an institution and in a particular course.There are some suggestions that the authors plan to implement in the future and areas requiringadditional research.

During the course of the design, build and fly competition portions of the challenge,the team directly led or provided support for three institutional camps and two communityoutreach events. These camps focused primarily on middle-school and high-school students thatare underrepresented in STEM education. Coordination for these outreach activities had to becompleted in tandem with the technical and operational tasks. This created another level ofdifficulty, specifically for the team’s leadership. Student-veteran attributes became apparent inplanning and conducting these events. The student-veterans treated these events like a militaryrange exercise.

Likewise, Ambrose has called forengineering curricula with “opportunities for reflection to connect thinking and doing,” and the“development of students’ metacognitive abilities to foster self-directed, lifelong learning skills.”(Ambrose, 2013, p. 16-17). Ambrose highlights a gap in the formal inclusion of metacognitiveactivity in the engineering curriculum (Ambrose, 2013). Regular reflection plays a critical rolein the construction of metacognitive knowledge and self-regulatory skills – or planning for,monitoring, and evaluating one’s own learning, knowledge, and skills (Schraw, 1998; Steiner &Foote, 2017).

The result from paired t-test showed that the increase wasstatistically significant (at p < 0.001) for both groups.We had expected that ability to collaborate and earn extra virtual points when working withpeers would motivate students to perform better, however the results seem to indicate otherwise.Based on the feedback from instructors, it was found that teams were formed randomly (size of3 students) which limited the engagement and that could have resulted with less team-basedcollaboration within SEP-CyLE.

In sticking with a conservative estimate, wesubtracted out time in which students appear to idle. The clearest example of this is whenstudents run an analysis, which may take up to 20 minutes to complete on complex designs.Additionally, if students were inactive for 40 minutes or longer their idle time was subtractedout. While we cannot rule that students’ may be active at this time, we are unable to definitivelyascertain this, so a conservative measure of time
