mandatory two-credit course, “Modeling and Design”. The freshmen are grouped intoteams of five students, resulting in 25-30 total teams. Each team has the same faculty advisor,graduate student teaching assistant (TA), and upperclassmen lab manager. The team-based Spring 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 7-8, 2017 MSUformat builds an immediate social network for the freshmen that helps support them throughouttheir college career, both inside and outside of the classroom.The primary goal of “Modeling and Design” is to engage our students as active biomedicalengineers from their very first day at Johns Hopkins. Emphasis is placed on developing criticalthinking, problem solving, interpersonal, and leadership skills that are

into the classes, which has causedsignificant discrepancy between the college course content with the industry expectations. Thispaper presents a summary of the currently widely adopted geotechnical engineering programused in the practice and discussed the ways to incorporate these design programs in the existinggeotechnical engineering courses. One example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of thesedesign programs in improving the effectiveness in teaching and stimulating the students’interests on the subject and pursuing a career in geotechnical engineering.Geotechnical Programs and Their Potential Implementation in TeachingThis section presents the commonly used geotechnical engineering programs used in the practice.The geotechnical
