interest among students [6, 7]. The authors have beenworking to incorporate hands-on and laboratory-based experiments for introducing studentsto environmental engineering related research [8, 9]. Laboratories are foundation of sciencebased education in this century [10] and their use usually result in understanding conceptsbetter. There are published studies that provide evidence in favor of student-centered hands-on active teaching and learning in laboratories [11-15].When it comes to preparing future professionals of environmental engineering laboratory-based education should provide students understanding of techniques, instrumentation,operating procedures, and precautions that are necessary for deriving meaningful data-basedconclusions

all were unclear about what causes hard water. Given thisexperience, a new approach was sought to help students better understand what water hardnessis, why it is a problem, and why it is important to remove in certain situations.A review of ASEE Conference proceedings revealed that other courses in Water Treatmentcourses have labs associated with their classes where a titration lab following procedures such asthose outlined in the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater isconducted to measure hardness in water samples [8]. Only two papers present alternativeapproaches to teaching water hardness and removal concepts [6], [9]. These two papers aredescribed below.Researchers at the University of Toledo implemented active
