At the end of each lesson, the One-Minute Paper5 was used to monitor studentlearning and address students’ misconceptions and preconceptions.

There were two fundamentalpurposes to the course: students were to learn more about their specific discipline so as toestablish realistic goals and motivations for their education and career, and students were tocomplete a major project in order to develop teamwork skills, integrate into the program, andbuild confidence in their ability to overcome intimidating challenges.

Our use of UAVs was motivated by theincreasingly common industry practice of using aerial systems for monitoring buildings andenvironments. We integrated this activity into an existing civil engineering elective course titled‘Heavy Construction Methods.’ In the classroom, students learned about the principles of UAVsand aerial photogrammetry. Students then practiced these principles by observing a UAV flight(conducted by a FAA licensed drone pilot), setting and recording coordinates for ground controlpoints, collecting field data, and using Autodesk software (Recap, Recap Photo, and Civil 3d

CEE students are required to take an introductorycomputing class in the CS department, which currently covers coding in Python and MATLAB,but this class was not a pre-requisite for the ER&U class in the considered semester. Therefore,my assumption was that the student body of the class (similar to those in previous semesters) hadlimited coding experience. For this reason, R was introduced as an “smart app, useful toscientists and engineers” and it was integrated in a guided form, using base R functions, asneeded for class purposes. R is taught through its use for the purposes of the class, not as anindividual class topic.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Mapping theBOK2 outcomes to the capstone sequence was an important first step, but faculty recognized theneed to effect additional improvements.Although there is always an academic aspect to every assignment in an engineering curriculum,faculty decided that there needed to be a better academia/real world balance in the capstone.Faculty agreed that one way to strike this balance would be to revise the course deliverables tomore closely reflect actual project deliverables.
