. Studentswere also asked to write a brief reflection on this project in their report conclusion and how thisexercise helps them be better engineers in the future.This project allowed students to grow in three aspects: applying theoretical knowledge to real-life designs, connecting with their community/client, and finding innovative solutions to ongoingproblems. It opened the door for students to research the effects of civil engineeringinfrastructure on communities and challenged them to be inquisitive about the diverse impacts ofevery future structure they design. Students were also taught to remedy problems created byprevious generations of engineers using an innovative and inclusive approach. Students wereassessed for their growth in EDI by

Some faculty have completely banned AI use in theircourses, while others embrace AI as a new learning tool [6].The emergence of AI is prompting civil engineering faculty to reflect on whether we shouldadjust our educational approaches. For civil engineering faculty at accredited institutions, wemust look to ABET for guidance [9]. While the current guidelines do not address specific toolsand methodologies, it seems reasonable to expect that AI may become part of standard practiceused to solve engineering problems (addressing ABET Student Outcome 1). The application ofAI may also be useful in developing engineering designs that are holistic and meet a variety ofpublic needs (addressing ABET Student Outcome 2). Communication

Theengineers' social and political beliefs are always reflected in their practices and their work [16],[17]. Engineering as a heterogeneous practice should be aware of its entangled social justiceissues and work with the communities when creating designs [11], [18], [19].Engineering education is moving towards perceiving engineering as a sociotechnical field notonly because of the shifting ideology described above but also because the movement can betterengage students’ identities, hence broadening participation in engineering [8], [20].

Reflecting on the student feedback led to the establishment of aset of best practices that could improve the development and delivery of future MBL assessments.Redesigning the MBL assessment following these principles resulted improved post-course evaluationsduring the 2022 and 2023 offerings of MD1 (Tab. 1; ’22-‘23).The best practices used to improve the MBL approach for MD1 are briefly summarized below:Best Practice 1: Each mastery skill should only evaluate one well-defined skillIt is recommended that skills requiring complex multistep solutions are broken into separate skills.

In future iterations of this work, we could ask studentsquestions such as: In your view, what does it look like to have a classroom community? Is havinga sense of community important to you in your graduate courses? Why or why not?It could also be helpful to explain to the students the purpose of the focus group beforehand.Students seemed to be expecting to give feedback in a manner similar to a course evaluation andanswer questions

According to Renshaw and Bolognino (2016) [6], academic efficacy encompasseselements of both cognitive and behavioral well-being. However, their analysis suggests that itpredominantly reflects behavioral well-being rather than cognitive well-being. This implies thatacademic efficacy is more closely associated with the persistent pursuit of goals anddetermination rather than solely cognitive abilities or beliefs about one's capabilities.3.
