isuseful information to share with the community, as a case study about what worked, what did notwork and lessons learned moving toward the second iteration. This first assignment of the projectwas on exploratory grounds, aiming to overcome two major challenges: a) transfer to a big classof an activity and assessment type that the instructor has successfully used in smaller senior levelclasses; and b) the unpopularity of this specific class among students. Past surveys have pointedto two main reasons the class is unpopular: first, students do not immediately recognize this classas a CEE class, therefore association to CEE is a conscious, consistent effort throughout thesemester; second, similar to what has been reported in the literature (e.g. [13

For this activity, small groups of students are directed toa) consider the transportation modes various stakeholders can use to travel from "Point A" to"Point B"; b) determine how each of these modes is impacted by COVID-19; c) compare andcontrast these impacts, the unique challenges associated with each potential mode of travel, andmake a recommendation to the stakeholders. Scenarios considered include a group ofundergraduate students attending a conference, a mother traveling with a toddler and a baby tovisit family, and a couple in their 60s traveling to their vacation home.

Given the motivations of these two departmentsand mutual interest of the project faculty in bridges, and Conde B. McCullough (Figure 1) inparticular, the faculty identified the potential for a field course to tour important Oregon bridges.Emphasizing those constructed to complete the Oregon coast highway, the course brings thehistory of these bridges together with their design and construction details. Changes in bridgedesign practice were discussed as an analog to the development of civil engineering moregenerally. Figure

To shift engineering education,multiple ways to present concepts can aid student understanding and learning in science andengineering. Using case studies to enhance civil engineering education is not a new concept [4-5]; rather, both the student and instructor can learn new insights through this process regardingstrategies to improve learning and teaching.

The rows ofthe table contain the internal forces/torques/moments and the columns of the table distinguishbetween the state of stress at points A, B, and C. The instructor can work with the students in aninteractive manner to determine which equation is appropriate in each cell in the table, and askchallenging follow-up questions, such as “is point B in flexural tension or compression?” Thedesign of the handout facilitates a variety of pedagogical approaches, including “pair-share.”This format allows the instructor to teach
