]. Assuch, engineers have a critical and necessary role in advancing the fairness and sustainability ofour society. More so, civil engineers are in a timely position to expand upon the conventionalparadigm of solely providing for our current society, to explicitly consider the needs anddemands of future generations. In particular, it is vital that the infrastructure-related (e.g., design,construction, management) industry in Colorado has the capacity and capability to enact climatechange mitigation strategies and to contribute to reducing energy dependencies. One essentialcomponent in building that capacity and capability is educating the workforce. The SustainabilityEngineering for the Built Environment graduate program can provide the

Courses are designed to have either a No-COIL, COIL, orCOIL+ component. No-COIL classes are structured only to have a short-term faculty-led programwith most of the interactions taking place during the travel program. A COIL course involves afully virtual classroom that collaborates with international partners (in the courses studied, theseare start-up companies).

Engineeringentrepreneurship and engineering leadership programs have proliferated in recent years. Despitethis, there is less emphasis on communication skills and intercultural competence, which areessential for many additional skills. Approaches to STEM curriculum design in Asia includeimplementing intercultural awareness and communication competencies, as the relationshipbetween employability and professional skills is well studied, adapted, and implementable.This paper proposes a process for building an engineering-focused communications course thatcan be tailored and
