Thestudents are required to post a response to the assigned topic by Tuesday of that week, inaddition to two other students’ posts by Thursday. Requiring that the students respond to others’posts involved reflecting upon the ideas of fellow students. Since a variety of majors areenrolled, this offers a unique, interdisciplinary aspect to the class.

solving, presentation, patience, persistence and reflections are noteworthy in their own right, but collectively, they are essential for success as an engineering educator. Planning. Perhaps planning is the first and most critical of the skills. It is the initial phase of preparation for any project. Most jobs and assignments can be considered as a project that need to be managed including teaching a course, running a committee, writing a research proposal or preparing curriculum. Planning involves every aspect of developing a project including a schedule or timetable right up until the actual work begins. It requires a careful thought process to include every aspect of the activity prior to starting its operation. It creates a calendar for the

Stevens describes theengineering educational experience as one of a “meritocracy of difficulty,” 1 the generalperception that the journey needs to be difficult to be worthwhile. A reflection of this on the K-12 student, and primary and secondary education at large, makes one consider where and howthe requisite “grit” 2 is forged.Makers are those who use technology to solve problems and invent solutions.

The lack of a unified model allows institutions totailor the CBE framework to their individual needs. At the same time, this ambiguity requiresfaculty and program designers to start from point zero, thus resulting in obstacles to CBEadoption within the institution. In this paper, we will describe the path we have taken, challengesmet, and lessons learned when designing a competency-based transdisciplinary undergraduateprogram.Program BackgroundThe Transdisciplinary

Many schools have met the challenge of higher enrollment numbers by addingclasses to address new course content and increasing the sizes of these classes. Whilethe size of the more specialized classes may still be kept at a manageable andreasonable level, the core classes that most university students have to take presentspecial challenges for the administration. Over the last ten years, we have, at differenttimes, tried different approaches and used a variety of different class sizes toaccommodate the higher enrollment numbers for such core classes.Importantly, each approach has

We may choose to teach a subject because it isexplicitly required by the ABET accreditation criteria, because our alumni and the employerswho hire our graduates tell us they want our graduates to have specific skills, and/or because wefeel the topic is part of the historical body of knowledge to which every civil engineeringgraduate should be exposed. This paper proposes that a new topic and skillset should be addedto our civil engineering curricula—Prevention through Design—despite the fact that none of thethree typical curricular motivations apply.Prevention through Design (PtD, also called Design for
