In the case of executing a research project,being able to recognize these differences is essential to moving the project from planning to datacollection to analysis, and finally, to implementation [4].

To address theseshortcomings, we are incorporating sustainability and resiliency conceptual threads and activitiesthroughout our curriculum, from our first-year engineering course through senior design.To understand the effectiveness of this initiative, at the beginning of this project we conductedinterviews with senior civil engineering students to collect baseline data on our current students’views and understanding of sustainability and responsibility.
