phase ofthe design process, Nathan realized that this would be a potential pitfall for his students and henoted in his reflection questions that he would have to scaffold this process heavily for thestudents’ first experience. Generating solutions proved difficult for Nathan both as anindependent and collaborative process; however, he was adept at evaluating the solutions. Withprompting from the instructor, Nathan developed three solutions. He successfully evaluated themon his own and determined the best solution. Although Nathan could clearly state the parts of theengineering design process, as evidenced in his NOE post-test responses, he struggled to executethe steps. As NOE research is emerging, there is not sufficient information to

The goal of this study was to develop a way to characterize research sophisticationof engineering PhD students. The following research questions guided our study: 1. How do engineering PhD students’ conceptions of and approaches to engineering research differ? 2. How do students’ prior experiences inform the ways they think about and approach their PhD research?Through the development of a categorization scheme for research process sophistication and adescription of the emergent categories of sophistication, we explore the characteristics thatdistinguish differences in

driven by climate change. To address these challenges, civilengineers must embrace a more holistic risk management paradigm that extends beyond technicalconsiderations to include socioeconomic impacts, community resilience, and equity. Future civilengineers will need to act as risk managers who can navigate complex, multi-faceted disasterimpacts on society [1], [2]. Preparing them for this role requires integrating new pedagogicalapproaches within the civil engineering curriculum, particularly those that foster critical skills inrisk-informed decision-making and balancing competing priorities in disaster risk management. To support this goal, game-based learning has emerged as a promising educational tool [3]-[13]. Previous phases of this
experience multiple institutional and structural barriers. Given the extensiveinvestment in interdisciplinary graduate programs nationally, we argue that a deeperunderstanding of how and why graduate students do – and perhaps more importantly, do not –develop interdisciplinary identities can help inform future development of interdisciplinaryprograms.Current Status of the Educational ProgramThe original core team includes faculty from business information technology, civil andenvironmental engineering, engineering education, geosciences, and urban affairs and planning.Now in our fourth year of course offerings, the program has expanded to include faculty andstudents from fisheries and wildlife, industrial and systems engineering, geography

shifts to subjects that prioritize mathematical, verbal, and analytical skills. Byunderstanding the deterministic aspects of visual perception and cultivating visual thinking skills,engineering students can strengthen cognitive abilities critical for communication and effectiveproblem-solving, including critical, statistical, and design thinking [15].The ability to engage across multiple modalities, operations, and levels of thinking is vital forcreativity, problem-solving, and learning. Among these, visual thinking—broadly defined as thecognitive ability to process information through mental imagery, pattern recognition, and spatialreasoning—stands out as particularly important for engineering.In an era where digital technology dominates
