that the department’s quest to slay theHydra—fully infusing the program with the BOK2 outcomes—could not be accomplished byselectively tweaking courses. Rather, as this paper discusses, a complete review of every aspectof the program was necessary, including the educational objectives, the program outcomes, andthe objectives for each required course. Ultimately, it was a two-year process of programassessment, evaluation and modification to fully implement the BOK2.I. IntroductionA.

reuse of the CALS Horse Barn is a good example of the Next Generation SeniorCapstone Design project. This project derived from the College of Engineering’s collaborativerelationship with the campus FP&M office. This is a real project currently in the final planningstages within the campus architect’s office. With the Capstone student involvement, the campusbenefits from the design insight and reality check the student work provides while clientsbecome more engaged in the design process providing more clearly articulate needs, wants anddesires. The students benefit from real world project challenges and through interaction withtheir clients.The project encompassed the rehabilitation of an 1880’s era, 18,000 GSF barn into asocial/conference
staying compatible with current ABET accreditation criteria. This effort resulted ina total of thirteen program outcomes, which cover the breadth of the principles included in theBOK2.In 2011 two external forces have resulted in changes to the BSCE program. The University ofArkansas is strictly enforcing the statewide ‘core curriculum’ for Arkansas institutions of highereducation. Formerly, the engineering programs at the University of Arkansas enjoyed anexception to the state core requirements by specifying humanities and social science (H&S)courses based on an interpretation of ABET EC2000 criteria. This allowed advanced-level H&Scourses in the curriculum. With the enforcement of the statewide core, all H&S courses arelimited to

Before the spring 2020offering of the course, instructors established partnerships with local and state officials todevelop a list of local community projects. Project stakeholders were invited to present theirproject(s) to the students. Students were required to work in groups of four. Projects wereassigned based on interest, with priority given to ensuring teams were interdisciplinary.Collaboration was also established with the humanities department by having a group of theirstudents work on policy and governance related aspects of one or more of the projects.

The 11 labs in the course include specific gravity andminimum/maximum dry density, sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, Atterberg limits, Proctortests, sand cone tests, constant and falling head tests, using the finite difference method to drawflow nets, consolidation tests, direct shear tests, and unconsolidated-undrained (UU) triaxialtests. Soil Mechanics is offered in both the fall and spring semesters with multiple lab sections.Typically, class sizes are in the low 30’s for classroom instruction and roughly 15, with studentsworking in groups of two or three, for laboratory instruction.
