quality as they vary by location and over time. The master variable is hydrology and how it isaltered by storm flow. Participants will use classical hydrology methods to construct storm hydrographsand derive time of concentration. These will be correlated with water chemistry to produce a time seriesrecord of concentration that can be translated to flux and mass transport. At the spatial scale of a sub-watershed in an urbanized area, the methodological framework will seek to understand howenvironmental flows contribute to degraded water quality [6,7,8]. Hydrologic variability and interactionswithin the natural and engineered components alter biogeochemical fluxes [9] and ecological integrity [10,11] all of which are affected by storm water

where it is stated, the collaboration yielded under-graduate, masters anddoctoral theses in engineering, management and operations research, whilst also exposingand enabling students to contribute to actual industry practice. The company involved gainedin return, a number of tangible benefits including PC-based tools and predictive models, anda general awareness of relevant long-term issues in an environment dominated by short-termpressures. Other benefits of this project included the sponsorship of several six-month in-house internships and the decision to employ one particularly promising graduate.The project, though successful, was not however without its problems.

– an essential behavior that must be mastered on their journey tobecoming practicing engineers. At the beginning of each quarter, after the peer evaluations fromthe previous quarter had been compiled and distributed, the instructors would discuss them withthe class as a whole. In these open discussions the instructors would solicit reactions from thestudents on the feedback they had received, and offer a faculty perspective of the process anddiscuss ways to interpret and respond to that feedback. These sessions were an attempt todemystify the process of giving professionally relevant feedback to their peers, to have thestudents to reflect on their personal development, and to get them to the point where they canreceive constructive criticism

suitable labcourse. This allows the existing articulation agreements to remain unchanged. Anotherconsideration is that there were few classrooms that had a sufficient number of electrical outletsat the time when the hands-on experiments were adopted into the curriculum, which presentedsignificant complications to the scheduling of courses if the hands-on activities were conductedduring the class session. Lastly, the instructors assigned to teach the lecture courses change everysemester and include adjunct professors, faculty members from other departments, and graduatestudents who have completed their Masters degrees. The effort to continually instruct theinstructors on techniques to incorporate the hands-on learning modules into their lectures

This feedback loop concept is Page 23.951.5discussed further in the next section.Simple course website data, student communication tools, homework uploading, and polls arefairly easy for most faculty to understand and implement in most LMS systems, however, furthermaturation along the continuum of course hybridization requires more commitment and time tolearn both the pedagogy and tools. While creating a variety of true-false, multiple choice, andshort answer quizzes do take more effort and skill, they usually yield significant

would have no or minimal difficulty. If,however, the same mathematical expressions or equations are hidden in a context, many studentsdo not know how to start solving that problem.This aversion towards word problems and real world applications is not new; students havealways struggled with them. Even high achieving students who have mastered the math skillsthat lay behind a real life application problem would admit their difficulty and even disliketoward word problems. Some would even come to a standstill or simply give up whenencountered a more involving, multi-step problem where the math skill that needed to solve theproblem is not instantly obvious.III.B.

systems, I'm going to need to be able to wire things.”Also, students realize that entering a new field and mastering it are different things: “My new understanding of electronics helps me understand what the electrical engineers in my project do, thus making me more capable of communicating my ideas to them.” “Possibly a better knowledge of circuit design, but probably not too easy to actually use it.” “I learned that I will need an electrical engineer on my team in the future because I still don't really understand it...” • Advice to future studentsLast but not least, we asked in the “summary” survey: “Any advice to the students whowill take this course in the future?” Some of the students

Thelibrary system consists of fifteen different libraries and collections which are located in eightphysical buildings. Our particular library building serves the teaching and research needs of theCollege of Engineering, along with several other departments and colleges on our part of campus.We provide a course reserve service at our physical building, separate from the main library’scourse reserve location. One of the efforts we’ve made toward assisting students with textbookcosts is to provide a physical copy of engineering textbooks on course reserves. Unlike the mainlibrary’s course reserves, we actively gather textbook

Any instance of an identified key indicator in a state science standard documentwas entered into a master spreadsheet along with the standard and grade level, which was thencoded individually by the research team. If more than one indicator was included in the sameinstance, then each of those elements could be coded from that single instance. After completingthe coding of a state individually, members of the research team compared codes in pairs to helpensure consistency in the coding of each state. We measured inter-rater reliability for twodifferent coding schemes, whether or not the standard or benchmark met the criteria for beingengineering context and using the key indicators from the Framework for Quality K-12Engineering
encouraged to look outside of the class for sources of inspiration.The third component of a T-shaped environment is the opportunity for reflection. Asopposed to content-based courses, where the focus is on mastering material, a T-shapedcourse can strengthen connections. In content-based courses, reflection often takes theform of a one-page assignment at the end of the class. What students most often produceis a summary of the content they have learned along with a surface level assessment ofwhere they might use the information in the future.I have been developing tool, called the Reflection Ladder (Figure 1), that is loosely basedupon Bloom’s Taxonomy and is used throughout the semester.
