In fact, the American Society of CivilEngineers has issued a grade of D+ for America’s infrastructure and declared a need for morediverse civil engineering talent to tackle the complex issues related to our infrastructure systems[1

suchfactors and make changes according to these findings. However, in our case, the tested onlinemodules were not strongly tied to a significant grading measure. Therefore we decided to useself-efficacy as an indicator for students’ learning outcomes. Along with the fact that thisvariable was proved in prior research as being a strong proxy for students’ learning outcomesanother advantage of using self-efficacy is the fact that it is easy to measure using a self-reporting survey. Therefore, for each cycle of implementation we measured these variables andmade changes that reduced the complexity and increased students’ self-efficacy. Most of thesechanges are likely to be valid in other cases of initial implementations of a new online learningmodule

is also known as visual-spatial skills and these are different from other forms ofintelligence such as verbal ability, reasoning ability, and memory skills. Spatial skills are linkedto professional and academic success [3], [4]. For example, when designing or constructing apumping station or piping systems within a treatment plant, it is always challenging to develop athree-dimensional mental picture of the space when looking at plan view and section views of aspace. Those who are skilled in developing that clear mental picture make fewer mistakes andare more efficient designers or constructors. Spatial training has been shown to have a strongimpact on developing these visual-spatial skills as measured by success on standardized

This indicator wasoften identified when the students accepted or rejected others’ opinions with reasonableexplanations. For example: I see your point but I would say it can't be the case every time. Sometimes a project may not even need the advanced technologies to make it sustainable and it may pass the CHPS standards by using the simple green design measures only.

The classes are carefully selected to evaluate theadaptability and expandability of the module and its effectiveness in advancing the learning ofstudents from various backgrounds and knowledge levels (junior, senior, undergraduate, smallsize, and large size class). Three measures namely Smart Tablet Readiness Measure, EngineeringConcepts Achievement Test, and Engineering Concepts Self-Efficacy Test, are developed toperform the evaluation.

Toevaluate and compare students’ learning between the lecture-based and project-based teachingapproaches, the LITEE survey instrument (http://www.litee.org/site) was used. The surveyinstrument includes five constructs to measure five different aspects of students learning: higher-order cognitive skills, self-efficacy, ease of learning subject matter, teamwork, andcommunication skills. The survey on pre-assessment and post-assessment of student learningoutcomes was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the project-based approach onenhancing students’ learning outcomes.

Teams were formed in the first lab based on thecriterion of “Make teams heterogeneous in ability [9]”. Therefore, students were asked toconduct a self-efficacy survey to select their top three abilities from the following five skills:mathematics and data analysis, use of computer-aided design software, handy experimentaltesting, written and oral communication, and leadership. These were considered to be essentialskills to enhance students’ success in this course and the self-efficacy survey results were used tohelp form teams with heterogeneous abilities by the instructor.Figure 1 shows the results of the

Expectancy-Value Theory, developed by JacquelineEccles, to understand the factors influencing students’ persistence in engineering. AsMatusovich et al. explains [6], Expectancy-Value Theory suggests that a student’s decision topersist is shaped by: 1) their expectancy or belief that they can succeed in engineering (i.e., “CanI do this?”) and 2) the value or importance they put on engineering (i.e., “Do I want to do this?”).Expectancy beliefs can include: - Engineering self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in one’s ability) - Expectations for success in engineeringValue beliefs can include: - Intrinsic interest (enjoyment of engineering activities or interest in engineering) - Attainment (importance of doing well in engineering in terms of one’s

For example, a student might have aparticular career interest in an engineering field (e.g., civil engineering, environmentalengineering, etc.) because she has a particular outcome expectation (e.g., solving societalproblems). Outcome expectations have been important in several frameworks used to understandstudents’ career choices and pathways.
