Datafrom 2005 and 2008 has been omitted since the course had a different instructor.In addition to student major, the sub-disciplinary focus of the students is an additional variable.EVEN majors select among six sub-disciplines (W = water resources and treatment, En =energy, Ec = ecology, R = remediation, A = air, C = chemical processing; S = special optioncreated by student via petition). They generally would prefer to have a project that engages theirstrength and interest area. CVEN majors specialize in water resources and treatment whileCHEN majors specialize in chemical processing.

Project teams of three to five students each address aunique project, with guidance of an advisor and sponsor liaison. For a project team the students,advisor(s) and liaisons may come from different academic disciplines. Students are assigned toprojects based on their stated interests which are expressed in a project

class room or laboratory.For an engineer in industry, a project is a sequence of tasks required to reach an objective.Typically, the objective is to design a device or process that has value to a customer (user). Theproject begins by defining a performance problem associated with an application and ends with adesign solution. The problem drives the learning required to complete the project. Managing theproject requires the engineer to demonstrate effective teamwork, clear communication and theability to balance the social, economic and environmental impacts of the project. Project-basedlearning (PBL) is based on the practice of solving problems. The concept of problem-basedlearning was first developed in the medical field in the mid-1950’s. It
