In short, the SNA tool will contribute to the development andunderstanding of how classroom activities support and foster student social engagement whichsupports learning gains and an inclusive environment.2 Background2.1 Social EngagementStudent engagement with a college course can come in many forms and occur inside and outsideof the classroom. The classroom experience can range from entirely composed of lectures to thosehaving only interactive activities. Students may additionally attend laboratory, recitation, orcomparable sessions. Students may engage in a multitude of ways with class material outside ofthe classroom to include working in groups

projectplanning tend to receive less focus in engineering curricula. Students often perceive them not as“core” knowledge in their engineering majors. Increasing engineering student interest, attention,engagement and deeper learning in these knowledge areas is a challenge. In addition to makingcourse materials relevant to these engineering disciplines, instructors have to employ variousactive learning initiatives to ensure effective teaching and learning are actually taking place. Thispaper presents a case study of using a poll app called Poll Everywhere as an active learningactivity in a required senior-level “engineering project management” course for civil andenvironmental engineering students. As a question driven and student active tool, the poll

The involved team is developing a targetedcurriculum to achieve these goals.To implement this initiative, the three university campuses established a collaborativeintercampus cooperation platform. This agreement will allow faculty from the campuses todevelop an integrated curriculum that will enhance the educational experience. Each of thesecampuses offers a different educational component relevant to the interaction required to trainstudents to provide integrated design solutions. One campus offers a bachelor’s degree onEnvironmental Design. Another one offers degrees in Civil, Electrical, and Materials Scienceand Engineering, among others. The third campus (the

tacticoutlined, however, points towards the most extreme consideration: the concept of eliminating thecost of textbooks in courses altogether. This concept has been promulgated recently in themovement to Open Educational Resources, or OER. While these are often considered to be“free” materials, UNESCO defines OER in a more expository manner as “teaching, learning andresearch materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain orhave been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation andredistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.” [15] This definition is intended to speakmore to the availability of materials rather than their quality; i.e. the goal is to find ways to widenthe
