Engineering Education, 2019 Assessing Interdisciplinary Competency in the Disaster Resilience and Risk Management Graduate Program using Concept Maps: A Pilot StudyIntroductionIn recent years, an increasing number of natural and human-made disasters, like Hurricane Mariaand the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, have impacted vulnerable populations across theglobe. The Disaster Resilience and Risk Management (DRRM) graduate program, housed atVirginia Tech, aims to educate interdisciplinary scholars who can help address these disastersboth before and after they happen in order to increase community resilience. Our overall projectgoal is to improve understanding and support proactive decision-making relative to DRRM byestablishing a sustainable and

OptimismEmotional intelligence defines decision making as “the ability to use your emotions in the bestway that helps solve problems and make optimal choices” [30]. A student measuring high in thisarea should exhibit the ability to grasp problems and determine effective solutions, createsolutions that go beyond theory, and manage emotions that may hinder effective decisionmaking. When cast in the context of engineering design, a high score in decision making shouldbe a positive indicator of a sound design engineer.The other sub-scales of the EQi-2.0 assessment include stress management, self-perception, self-expression, and interpersonal. Stress management is defined as the ability to be flexible, toleratestress, and control impulses. An engineering
