Engineers mutually benefit from classroom visits by inspiring the next generation ofyoung, bright minds to consider engineering to help address the future challenges that we facewith an aging infrastructure system and also further curating good stewards of the infrastructurethat we have. This is in addition to helping to fill the gap that our nation is facing in the numberof civil engineering jobs and lack of educated individuals to fill those jobs.Grades K-6As mentioned earlier, the Report Card can be used to broaden student views of civil engineering

From the roadways you take to get here, the buildings you take classesin, to how you get water out of the tap civil engineering impacts almost every aspect of your life. Most ofthe time we take this infrastructure for granted until it inconveniences us like road construction causingtraffic flow problems, the sidewalk being closed to fix water lines, or a natural disaster causingwidespread destruction of buildings, cars, roadways, etc.Infrastructure is designed by a civil engineer with an immediate goal in mind; i.e. the client needs a 500car, three level parking garage and this is the spot

(engineering/math model).Engineers work with each of these models as they develop their understanding of a concept orsolve a particular problem. Reality is the way the world actually works; in general, reality tendsto be complex. The engineer works to shape reality, and therefore, must be a student of reality,learning how the world works through thoughtful observation. As engineers consider reality,they build mental models of how the world works. The mental model is qualitative and oftenintuitive. The mental model is the single greatest asset an engineer has; in the qualitative andintuitive world of the mind creativity flourishes. An engineer who wishes to communicate orrefine a mental model will draw sketches or diagrams. The mental model should lead

Perhaps such things as a clearly formulated hypothesis, astrong grounding in the related literature, a defined methodology, and a concern for validity andreliability come to mind as expectations within your field of practice. A minimum level ofscholarship is expected in the performance of research in all engineering disciplines.

However, engineers feel there is sometimes a“disconnect between engineers and the public” where “engineers don’t listen” [37 p. 15]. Thisrepresents motivation for improved education of engineers.Listening has been classified into a variety of types, such as active, accurate, contextual, critical,empathetic, and mindful [4, 13, 38]. Mindful listening has been encouraged for project managers[13] and healthcare professionals [39], focusing on being fully present, an awareness of bothoneself and others, engaging with the speaker, avoiding judgement of the speaker, and carefullyobserving and
