to Environmental EngineeringAbstractAs part of a cost-savings initiative, an existing course of ‘introduction to environmentalengineering’ offered using a ‘traditional’ format of didactic class meetings supplemented withhands-on laboratory sessions, was changed significantly. The ‘modified’ format uses ‘blended’,‘flipped’, and ‘mastery’ approaches to teach “2601: Fundamentals of EnvironmentalEngineering” to approximately 60 sophomores pursuing baccalaureate degrees in environmental,civil, or architectural engineering, each semester. This paper presents a summary of the resultsfrom eight course offerings over a period of four years to more than 450 total students.Assessments included student grades; open-ended

therefore requires continuous life-long learning; and  Apply professional engineering judgment, decision-making process, statistical tools, life cycle assessment, and life cycle cost analysis to a contemporary issue.Integration of TechnologyThis course integrated clickers, life cycle assessment software (SimaPro 8), and videos as apedagogical strategy to enhance technology in the classroom. This was done to coincide withChico State’s Strategic Priority No. 3 to use “new technology in learning and teaching” tosupport high quality learning environments.4 Clickers were used for in-class quizzes to make theclass interactive. Short quizzes were given using clickers to provide real-time feedback on keyconcepts covered in previous
