Nurturing Social Sustainability Within our Future WorkforcesSustainability revolves around three pillars of the triple bottom line: social, economic, andenvironmental. However, social sustainability is seldom prioritized in the construction industry.In construction education, the curriculums tend to focus on disseminating the fundamentals ofthe only two pillars, i.e., Economic and Environmental, thereby indicating that socialsustainability is the weakest pillar. In the era of globalization and diversity, engineeringprofessionals are increasingly grappling with communication styles due to generational andintercultural differences, biases in the workforce, and conflicts due to overlapping cultures thatdirectly impact
reference in design classes may not fullyprepare the students for the skills they need in their future profession to effectively navigate andinterpret codes. Since there is no required classes in typical U.S. higher education curriculums tomandate the full introduction of code document, it is possible for BS graduates to not have a fullunderstanding of the code system. Therefore, it is recommended that following strategies ofimplement codes into design classes be considered by structural engineering educators inrequired entry level design classes. 1. Make code a required material for taking the classThe first step of implementing codes in design classes is to require students to own a copy of thedesign code, either physically or electronically
following the two courses. In terms of confidence,while from the instructor perspective, none of the students achieved a terminal mastery of thematerial from these introductory courses, it was promising to see how much student confidencehad grown throughout the term. As these students move on into the remainder of their freshmanyear and progress in their curriculum, a perceived sense of self-reliance is critical to their success.Similarly, the agency that the students expressed is also key to their future successes. Whilesome student comments reflected a negative tone regarding how much they had to self-regulateto get through the course, the instructors view this as a sign that they were developing this skill,even if they do not enjoy it.

InstructionThe setting for this learning is the regular classroom where the class usually meets. Classroomsat Penn State include computers with Internet access for instructor use connected to projectorsthat can display the instructor's screen to monitors and large screens easily visible to the entireclass. The technology, students are already bringing what they need into class already. Theirwillingness to use their mobile tech in class can be seen as a strength rather than a weakness; thismakes it easier to integrate a CRS like Nearpod or Top Hat into course instruction. Allowingstudents to use their own devices while linked on the University's excellent Wi-Fi networkallows the instructor to follow mobile learning best practices. [20]The lesson plan

management, communication skills, and decision-making [8] The industry considers engineers the vehicle for development because they play a crucial role in industrial evolution[9]. The industry requires engineering graduates with skills that meet the current industrial needs. It is essential in engineering schools to focus on industrial needs, as that increases the alignment level between industry and academia. In other words, the more universities know and apply in curriculums the industrial objectives, the more they are helping students to enhance their skills and get trained on what they will face in the industry. Hence, if the lack of capstone design project completion and low student motivation remained the same, it would
across genders, majors, and theirsubsequent professions, it is still seen as a skill that people can develop. One approach toenhancing creativity in individuals is to provide multiple opportunities to use the design thinkingframework in the context of real-world problems. This is reflected in the implementation of thecourse sequence in the M3 transdisciplinary learning model. When used as a treatment, studentsthat were exposed to design thinking curriculum showed significant differences from controlgroups utilizing teacher-centered learning [17]. This is in alignment with findings in other studiesthat investigated positive benefits of design thinking on creativity [18], [19].In summary, creativity varies across demographics and areas of study

The average 2-year completion rate for engineering students at the time the S- STEM proposal was submitted (March 2018) was less than 1%. The objective is to see this number increase to 5% over the project timeline. 2) Accelerate student progression through the engineering curriculum at FCC, reducing average time to degree or

regarding online delivery and useof technology in their senior design courses. One obstacle identified by the instructors was theinternet and technology issues faced by students . “Many students didn’t have all the tech needed(wifi, computer, webcams, etc).” One instructor also revealed that they were struggling with thesame issues. “So I live twenty two miles outside of town and our Internet is not the best, and so Igot special consideration to be on campus every day”. Many studies identified technology issuesand inadequate learning environments (such as the lack of a dedicated workspace) as majorobstacles to student learning during the online shift. These challenges have beendisproportionately experienced by students from marginalized backgrounds
