The reservoir came within one day of having no usable water supply, and the student’s university came close to shutting off the water supply to all dormitories. Luckily, a substantial rainfall event avoided this situation. Anticipating future droughts, City and University administrators asked local engineering firms to develop a plan to reduce the amount of water used by businesses in the area and the dorms serving the students at your university. These plans are to be implemented by the year 2020. Failure to implement these technologies results in stiff financial fines.After reading this description, the students answered questions outlined in Table 2. Thesequestions were designed

This consensus by experts in engineeringeducation presents with unprecedented opportunities to improve student learning, but effectivepedagogy has entered the practice at a slow pace. In addition, the ballooning cost of higher education, isprimarily limiting resources for a quality education (Wellman et al. 2009). Due to this situation, there isincreasing concern that declines in number of technologically innovative graduates, and further thedecline in economic
