The purpose of describing some actual experiments in this paper istwo-fold. The first is to convince the reader that ARCE 483 is a technically rigorous masters-levelcourse. Even though the students are using toys to create physical models, the technical conceptsthat they are attempting to explore are quite technically challenging. The second reason is that thedesign of experiments is a difficult outcome to meet for many civil engineering programs duringan ABET accreditation visit6. Civil engineers

It iscritical to convey to students that perseverance in developing these skills is crucial, and to assurethem that, over time, mastering these skills will become ‘second nature’ and will have a strong,positive impact on their ability to make meaningful contributions to the engineering profession.References 1.

This is because a morecomplete understanding of theoretical concepts of organic devices was achieved withpersonalized experience at their own pace, thereby increasing students’ motivation, interests, andretention of knowledge. Our finding is consistent with the observation by Dori and Belcher20suggesting that the active learning such as visualizations should be integrated in the teaching andexperimental work, especially when dealing with abstract concepts. In addition, additionalinquiry-based hands-on activities provided discovery-based learning21 which allowed students
