significantly more designoptions from more perspectives with a similar budget and time schedule than was possible usingtraditional methods [6]. These benefits are only realized however by individuals and teams whoknow how to leverage these tools in the project organization and team context. In this paper, we take up the questions about how to prepare our students to engage thistechnological future of construction. Like mathematics and physics, technical literacy providesstudents with sets of skills they can bring to more complex subjects in the ConstructionEngineering and Management (CEM) curriculum. When designing technology curriculumacross CEM contexts, educators need to consider transferable skills and knowledge to preparestudents to use

Conduct effective research including critically evaluating technical papers, reports, podcasts, videos, or websites and expressing information orally and in writing.The beginning of the semester addressed the first three objectives using active-learning lecturesand homework assignments that were technical in focus. The fourth goal was addressed throughoutthe course, including through modules about solar energy in South Sudan developed by analumnus in South Sudan who owns a solar energy company [1] and a Zoom class session withhim.A semester-long project addressed the fifth and sixth course objectives, listed above. We used thethree pillars of

In the online course, students were asked to review vocabularyprior to the lesson, while the course vocabulary was reviewed as a whole group during classinstruction for the in-person course. In the online course, some family members needed toprovide technical support as well as communication support for individuals with limited verbalcommunication skills. Some individuals in the online course who lacked fine motor skillsutilized apps (e.g. ClaroPDF and Geogebra) to complete sketches or may have needed access toisometric dot paper with larger spacing between dots (this was emailed to them for printing).During the online pilot course, many students struggled to even create an object with the snapcubes
future women in engineering trips!”“Please run this again next year! Or do something similar! It’s a great way to bring women inengineering together!”ConclusionsAs explored in this paper, field trips are positive experiences for women engineering students,both for technical education and networking purposes. Not only did the students leave with realworld examples of how their majors could be applied, but they also were able to meet morewomen in their major. On a Likert scale, there seemed to be apparent benefits in the post-tripsurvey for educational and networking purposes. While the university discussed in this paperdoes have a higher percentage of women in their engineering program than a typical university,being a woman in engineering can

not a single definition ofsustainability suited to all engineering disciplines. However, the main elements of asustainability model are general enough to be applied to most engineering disciplines.In this paper, sustainability is addressed as a software engineering design concern that involvessustainability principles and multiple dimensions at different moments in time. The presentedexperience is aimed as a guide for teaching and assessing sustainability during a softwareengineering capstone design. It is based on the Karlskrona Manifesto for sustainability design,involving societal, individual, environmental, economic, technical dimensions, and considering,short, medium and long-term effects of engineering solutions.

them, how to write a research paper. Basedupon their responses in the interviews and based on their deliverables, students met the fourlearning objectives during their research experiences. They also learned what research entailed,which was a motivating factor for several of the students in pursuing an undergraduate researchexperience. Other students noted that they wanted to pursue undergraduate research to help themobtain future internships, or to fulfill needed technical elective course credit.While students reported that they were forewarned that there would be bumps in the road, theywere still generally surprised by the need to reevaluate their direction often. While they were alsoforewarned of the need for physical work and the time
