The findings may be of interest to design teachers and students in order to proliferatefresh and unconventional solutions to engineering problems, while boosting retention ofengineering majors.IntroductionIn recent years there has been a movement in engineering education to improve the curriculumfor undergraduate engineering students to better prepare them for the challenges of the 21stcentury. Researchers have studied various engineering curriculums and teaching styles todetermine the best system for engineering education. Current research on this topic suggest thattraditional teaching methods (lectures and typical homework assignments) do not meet all theobjective requirements for engineering education [1]. This is not only true for

Gioia and Brass [3] in 1985 noted that the collegestudents being taught then were a “TV Generation”, who were raised in an environmentdominated by visual images. In early 2000, the new “Virtual Generation” appeared withprevalent virtual media such as Internet and videogames [4]. Most recently, the “iGeneration”has been raised with the presence of mobile and handheld technologies (iPod, iTunes, iPhone,Wii, iPad) experienced in an individualized manner [5, 6].

IntroductionThe fundamental goal of educators in the construction-related program is to focus on developingthe abilities of their students, thereby preparing them to embark on their professional journey.The students that come out of construction-related programs should have knowledge in allaspects of construction operations. By so doing, the graduates are able to implement safe, cost-effective, and timely solutions. Thus, to prepare students for the construction profession, theymust be educated in the basic, fundamental courses that touch on all aspects of construction. Inaddition to basic, fundamental courses, such as materials and methods

Given the motivations of these two departmentsand mutual interest of the project faculty in bridges, and Conde B. McCullough (Figure 1) inparticular, the faculty identified the potential for a field course to tour important Oregon bridges.Emphasizing those constructed to complete the Oregon coast highway, the course brings thehistory of these bridges together with their design and construction details. Changes in bridgedesign practice were discussed as an analog to the development of civil engineering moregenerally. Figure

is most prevalent in engineering based courses [1].Engineering problems studied and taught in a classroom usually requires an individual tomake assumptions or only consider ideal design conditions throughout the problem inorder to simplify important concepts in the learning process. Difficulties arise when theconcepts are applied to a specific project in the field where engineers need to rely onobservations and testing opposed to making assumptions. This is why the naturaldeductive teaching approach used by professors is often times misleading anddiscouraging for students. The bridge between fundamental concepts and theories ofengineering and how to apply them in real world applications is never built, which putsthe student at a disadvantage
