  In some respects the course title is a misnomer. Rather than teaching engineering history per se,the course teaches engineering through history.The course also included a final group project. Students were assigned to groups of 4 or 5 by theinstructor. Each group selected a historical case study topic, wrote a technical paper, andpresented it on the final day of the class.A similar course is taught by Dr. Billington course at Princeton University. The course isentitled “Engineering in the Modern World,” numbered CEE 102A (also EGR 102A, MAE102A). The course description is “Among the works of concern to engineering are bridges,railroads, power plants, highways, airports, harbors, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and themicrochip. Historical

In his position as educational staff leader of ASCE, he managed several new educational initia- tives – collectively labeled as Project ExCEEd (Excellence in Civil Engineering Education). As ASCE’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Lenox led several educational and professional career-development projects for the civil engineering profession – with the overall objective of properly preparing individuals for their futures as civil engineers. An example is his staff leadership of ASCE’s initiative to ”Raise the Bar” for entry into professional engineering practice. Dr. Lenox’s awards include ASCE’s ExCEEd Leadership Award

However,these courses differ from the norm in that they employ a project-based learning approach,thereby exposing students to a collaborative environment consisting of their peers, teams offaculty members, and stakeholders from the greater community.

Having that as a motivation, Van Wie andcoworkers [2] have developed portable desktop learning modules (DLMs) for chemicalengineering and have implemented nontraditional learning pedagogies: namely,cooperative, hands-on, active and problem-based learning. Cooperative learning has beenimplemented by forming small groups of students to work on worksheets, quizzes,homework and projects. Hands-on learning involves groups of students observingtheoretical principles in action with the DLM hardware. Active learning is promoted bygroup exercises in the form of worksheets which
