Environmental Impacts & Water ResourcesThe lectures about water resources focused on the stormwater management, structures used forstormwater conveyance and regulations. The students were also presented with Greeninfrastructure and best management practices for stormwater conveyance. The environmentalportion of the lectures focused on the infrastructure for water and wastewater treatment,environmental pollution and remediation due to the hurricanes.

statistical thinking for engineering in general andthe design component in particular.3) Estimation: A main challenge of a project design is the number of variables and theirinteractions during the design process. Often, the system stretches beyond designers’ capabilityto grasp all of the details simultaneously [1] .One strategy for coping with the many variables is:to bring the system back within the limits of human mental capacity by focusing selectively on alimited number of factors, preferably the most significant ones. Designers are usually good atestimation. They are able to size up parameters, sort them out in terms of their relativeimportance, and neglect the ones that have less impact on the project.

Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving
