to identify and justify creditsthat apply to their senior capstone design projects. Through this scaffolded approach, students arechallenged to evaluate how their design meets criteria within relevant credits. Examples ofstudent work show that Envision can be used as a tool to gain knowledge of how designs can beinformed by the rating system beyond using it as a tool to retroactively evaluate a project. Thisapproach could be used by other programs as they desire to use a vetted framework to enablestudents to create sustainable, forward-thinking designs.BackgroundThe Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure’s Envision Rating System (Envision) provides aframework for civil infrastructure that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient through

Psychology Program at the Mayag¨uez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico (RUM), where I completed my master’s degree in School Psychology in the summer of 2024. Previously, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a double concentration in General Psychology at the University of Puerto Rico in Cayey. During my undergraduate studies, I was a member of two student organizations: the Sociology Association (ASOCI) and the Association of Psychology Students (Psy-chi). Additionally, I worked as a research assistant on two projects: the Resilience and Medical Helpseeking project in Cayey (2019-2021) and the Negotiating Dementia project (2021-2022), both under the supervision of Professor Patria L´opez de Victoria
