2025 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition

Colleges and universities need to educate engineering students who are not only technically competent but also ready to contribute to the needs of our increasingly diverse society. In response to the past ABET requirement and university policy, the first EJI-designated engineering course – Highway Design and Construction, was proposed and approved in Spring 2021, and it was offered for the first time in the spring semester of 2023. This paper explains the course design and uses two-year data to evaluate the impacts of EJI topics on student learning and attitudes toward EJI in the context of highway/transportation projects.
