clear thatincorporating futures thinking is a good approach to motivate first-year civil engineeringstudents into thinking for the future, thinking for the present, and raising awareness aboutpeople and society. It provides a good stepping-stone for civil engineering students todevelop their capacities to design for the future. Additional efforts to further and deepenstudents’ learning, however, will continue to be pursued.    Bibliography1. Aktas, C. B. (2015).

suggests that much of thisknowledge is not taught explicitly, nor are students usually taught how to perform this complexintegration. Recent research in knowledge transfer also suggests that making explicit therelationship between a discipline’s ways of knowing and its central genres can help studentsrecognize when they can connect knowledge learned in one context to a new context, or adapt itfor a new purpose.8 Making key concepts visible and helping students to reflect on theapplication of those concepts in multiple contexts has also been shown to aid knowledge transferamong college students writing in different disciplines.9The implications of making disciplinary concepts and relationships explicit, either through theintroduction of “threshold

one design situation togenerating more innovative or radical ideas in another design situation is an indication of theircapability for being flexible in their design approaches.In idea generation, a measure of flexibility can be thought of as the ability to apply a range ofapproaches, choosing the approach that best aligns with particular situational characteristics (asopposed to applying the same approach regardless of alignment with particular situationalcharacteristics). In our prior work, we utilized individual’s reflections on their ideation process toqualitatively characterize their approach and how that approach changed from on situation to thenext.7 We build on that work by focusing this study on developing a quantitative measure

improvement in student learning, however it had itsown issues, the most troubling being the long waits that the students tended to encounter whentrying to get their pre-labs checked. The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great. What didn’t work as well: I spent A LOT of time checking and re-checking pre-labs and helping students. The lines were long
