With this in mind, the EFA policy was developedby the CEE faculty and is enforced by each student’s advisor and the CEE CurriculumCommittee.Several sets of EFA plans are offered as ‘recommended EFAs’ on the EFA plan form.The current EFA recommendations are found on the CEE web site. Two EFA plans aredesigned for students who want a broad exposure to civil and environmental engineeringpractice. They are called “Civil Engineering Practice” and “Environmental Remediationand Control.” Eight additional EFA plans are described. These EFA plans provide broadtraining in civil and environmental engineering but also allow a more specific focus. The

complex, ever-changing, three-phase material(and with only limited knowledge of the material due to sampling difficulties and expenses),geotechnical engineering is sometimes referred to as being the “dark arts of engineering.” Withthis in mind, EGR 340 used the dark arts as a mythic cognitive tool (fantasy) to engage studentsand support the development of Ironic understanding. It began on the first day of class whenstudents were welcomed to the “dark arts” class as if they were witches and wizards learningtheir craft at Hogwarts (the fictional boarding school for wizardry in the popular Harry Potterbooks and the dominant popular fiction of their youth) and included a short video from one ofthe Harry Potter movies to set the mood.

This would imply that if aconcept inventory were to be provided to both of these groups, practicing engineers wouldperform better than students and have minimal misconceptions about the strength of materialsconcepts.MethodsInstrumentThe strength of materials concept inventory consists of 23 multiple choice questions coveringconcepts centered around normal and shear stress and strain

[23]asked the question, “What is the impact on students of designing/revising a course based onthese learning outcomes and knowledge tables?” The original course emphasized exposure tomany different topics within transportation engineering rather than depth in a few topics. Thecourse instructor redeveloped the course to include further depth into the most critical topics andreduce breadth using the knowledge tables and course outcomes created by the NTCP.Keeping in mind the school’s geographic region and the interest of the students, the totalnumber of topics in the course was reduced by about 25% [23].

Ultimately, the use of MR&M games should result in abetter-trained and globally minded workforce.

In addition, it just mightincrease the interpersonal rapport you have with you students and assist your students with theirlearning process. However, it is important to keep in mind that the teacher must walk a thin linewhen attempting to lose one’s inhibitions in the classroom so as to avoid losing the respect ofhis/her students.References1.
