Permeating Sustainability and Resiliency Concepts into Civil Engineering Curricula

可持续基础设施通过响应社区健康和环境来平衡经济，生态和社会需求。具有复原力的基础设施可持续，即使在灾难性事件发生后也能保持功能和结构能力。这个机构和社区转型项目的目标是通过整合可持续性和弹性（SR）的概念在整个土木工程（CE）课程在博伊西州立大学的本科工程教育进行革命。虽然重点是CE在博伊西州，该项目具有重大的潜在更广泛的影响，因为这项工作可以成为其他工程学科和其他机构的典范。虽然近年来，CE课程已经发展到符合行业，政府和认证组织规定的标准，但这些变化通常针对个别课程，对该计划产生重要但有限的影响。在这个项目中，主动学习S R模块和适当的设计任务将被开发和嵌入到课程中，让学生接触到关键的S R概念。结合理论驱动的，以证据为基础的教育研究，对学生学习的影响将使用基于KAB框架的方法进行评估，该框架承认个人对教育干预措施的反应的三个不同但相互关联的方面：知识，态度和行为。12个CE课程是针对S R输液，包括流体力学，初级课程，建立了水流和土木工程案例研究的理论基础，大二课程，提供了土木工程设计的广度的理解。在后一过程中，战略注入战略R的概念通常包括失败的基础设施系统的研究，没有适当的关注战略R。通过讨论和事实调查，学生将获得有关如何在设计过程中纳入S R考虑因素可能导致更成功的设计的知识。

Sustainable infrastructure balances economic, ecological, and societal needs by being responsive to community health and the environment. Resilient infrastructure lasts, retaining functional and structural capacity even after disastrous events. The goal of this institutional and community transformation project is to revolutionize undergraduate engineering education by integrating sustainability and resiliency (S & R) concepts throughout the Civil Engineering (CE) curriculum at Boise State University. Although the focus is on CE at Boise State, the project has significant potential broader impacts since the work can be a model for other engineering disciplines and other institutions. Although in recent years, the CE curriculum has evolved to meet standards imposed by industry, government and accreditation organizations, these changes have typically targeted individual courses, leading to important but limited impact on the program. In this project, active learning S&R modules and appropriate design tasks will be developed and embedded in the curriculum to expose students to key S & R concepts. Combined with theory-driven, evidence-based educational research, impact on student learning will be assessed using methods grounded in the KAB framework which recognizes three distinct but interconnected aspects of individuals' responses to educational interventions: knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Twelve CE courses are targeted for S&R infusion including Fluid Mechanics, a junior course that establishes the theoretical foundation for water flow and Civil Engineering Case Studies, a sophomore course that provides an understanding of the breadth of civil engineering design. In the latter course, the strategy to infuse S&R concepts would typically consist of the study of failed infra-structural systems constructed without proper attention to S&R. Through discussion and fact-finding, the students will acquire knowledge on how incorporating S&R considerations in the design process could have resulted in more successful designs.
