Considering the terrestrial level, the way to acquire data can be static,where the equipment is at a fixed position during the measurements, or kinematic (mobile), inwhich a platform carries the equipment during data acquisition - in movement. Terrestrial mobilemapping systems (TMMS) usually have sensors assembled in a vehicle that collect data whilemoving, and nowadays, these systems

In a typical civil engineering design process, direct stakeholders (e.g. theclient) may be involved during the beginning of the process when establishing the criteria of theproject, with perhaps some limited community engagement during public outreach. This approachhowever limits the perspectives contributing to a project. Values Sensitive Design (VSD) is amethodology that asks the engineer to systematically consider values and norms, direct andindirect stakeholders, and the long-lasting impacts early and throughout the design process to craftmore equitable solutions and reduce or eliminate unintended consequences.

The modules focused on how to act and how to respond to promote psychological safety on design projects. Each module was tailored to a different phase of the design process. The themes of the three modules are (1) treating every idea as having potential to contribute to a positive outcome, (2) questioning an idea to obtain valuable insight, and (3) applying the brake to improve a decision. To explore the impact of the modules, we deployed a post-course survey to measure students’ perceptions of psychological safety on their project teams.
