Communication skills of the students are developed throughout the civilengineering curriculum starting with laboratory reports in the sophomore year through a year-long, industrially sponsored capstone design experience where students prepare writtenproposals, design reports, memos, reflection papers, and posters for an external project sponsor. CEEGR 3530 - Soil Mechanics is a 5 (quarter) credit junior level course required of allcivil engineering majors for graduation

led electrospinning to find applications in variousbiomedical applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery [1, 2]. However, severalparameters can greatly affect the production quality of fibers, such as concentration of the polymersolution, voltage, feed rate, and ambient conditions [3]. Controlling the manufacturing ofelectrospun fibers presented a unique engineering problem that could integrate concepts frommultiple bioengineering courses including biomechanics, circuits, computer aided design (CAD),thermodynamics, and biomaterials into a single engineering design project with real-worldapplications. This project served as the basis for a new junior-level design course that will betterprepare students for their senior capstone

) highlyinfluence the adoption of educational responses towards sustainability in the civil engineeringcurriculum. The accreditation requirements ensure that sustainability is addressed in specificdiscipline-based units, and to a greater extent, in the capstone unit. Barriers, however, occur inboth cases because sustainability considerations are not scaffolded. The cross-case analysisalso shows that while project-based environments were the most common type of educationalresponses implemented to strengthen students’ sustainability-based knowledge and skills,findings suggested projects do not always encourage the same complexity of problems and,consequently, do not generate the same level of learning outcomes.

However, when the university pivoted to remote operation in March due toCOVID-19, the scope of work was refocused to concentrate on more detailed CAD modeling.Sample images of the CAD models produced by the students are shown in Fig. 7.Fig. 7.

How do students’ conceptualizations of an open-ended problem develop throughout the project? 4.
