Their case for project-based learning throughout the engineeringcurriculum is compelling. It has been proven that students participating in PBL show moreenthusiasm for the course, are highly motivated, demonstrate better communication andteamwork skills, and develop critical thinking skills to apply their learning to realistic problems[8,9].Considering the advantages of PBL, this paper describes an approach to integrate PBL into asophomore-level course, Surveying, at the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department ofRowan University.

While the traditional use of commercial bridge modelingkits, like the Pasco Bridge set ME-6991, has been standard, this approach often falls short ineffectively engaging students in learning the principles of static equilibrium and truss analysis.This paper introduces an innovative design project that enhances the conventional bridgeexperiment. It involves students optimizing and 3D printing truss member dimensions, replacingthem in the model, and evaluating performance. This hands-on approach in design andmanufacturing significantly enriches the learning experience in truss analysis. Additionally, thepaper discusses the integration of this project

While this integration could be done using new elective courses onAI and civil engineering (see [11]), we were interested in relevant topics that could incorporatedinto existing coursework.

The maincomponents we found in these studies were: curriculum that had students identify biases incertain case studies or clinical trials [8],[9], small group discussion [9],[10], and evaluation ofstudents ability to reduce bias post-curriculum.
