An ABET response is consistent with the universityand parental needs. In our niche market, the Heart is our desire to assist in the spiritualdevelopment of each of our students. The Hand is providing application and practice that isdirectly transferable into a career. These three elements provide our response to the“foundational” issue. Functional.

, civil infrastructure systems can beunderstood by the processes in which civil engineers design, construct, manage, maintain, operateand protect efficient, resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure systems. Within this practice is arecognition of the role that systems play in societal functioning while accounting for how humanbehavior and social organizations contribute to and affect the performance of a given system.When students are taught this perspective of infrastructure, they are often more proficient in theirefforts to incorporate all of the stakeholders in the development and implementation of thefacilities and processes they are asked to study.For example, if a student were asked to research and write about the impacts of an aging

Undergraduate research positively affects retention in STEM (Eagan et al.,2013), particularly for URM students (NAP, 2019). Mentorship in undergraduate research spaceshas also been positively associated with students’ identity and confidence as a STEMprofessional and their sense of belonging (Byars-Winston, Branchaw, Pfund, Leverett, &Newton, 2015).
