CIT-E community of practice (CoP) is a group of faculty members who teach civilinfrastructure-related courses at different institutions. Currently, the CoP is supported by awebsite and a model course on Canvas. The model course is composed of 43 lessons that aregrouped into five categories: Fundamentals, Water, Energy, Transportation, and Capstone. InSpring 2021, a survey was conducted among the CIT-E CoP, which revealed that over 4,000students have been impacted by the group, and that respondents are enthusiastic about improvingtheir understanding of and pedagogical skills related to addressing issues that connectinfrastructure and social justice in the classroom [1]. This project is a direct result of that survey,and our goal is to increase

In the past, student groupswere asked to design a human powered hydraulic system to transport a single person. Withoutusing any direct drive mechanism, the system would transfer the rider’s power to the drivingwheel through the use of a fluid power system. The goal of the design was its functionality,safety, reliability, manufacturability and cost effectiveness. It was implemented as a routine stepby step process of the

Studentsfirst begin to develop design skills while they are also integrating their engineering contentknowledge and learning to apply it in authentic (or pseudo-authentic) contexts. In some cases,design is also introduced as part of a “cornerstone” experience in the first year of an engineeringprogram. Generally, however, the bulk of the engineering curriculum consists of engineeringscience courses that rely heavily on theoretical mathematics and closed-ended problem solving.Many design studies have investigated the difference between novices and experts in practicingdesign.
