Resources DesignAbstractA first semester, senior level civil and environmental engineering course, Water ResourcesDesign is, for most, the first experience for students at Florida Gulf Coast University in workingwith non-trivial design projects. To make the course experience as transferable as possible tofuture graduate engineering employment, students learn and apply hydraulic software to projectdevelopment and execution. The course takes an innovative case study approach with 5 designprojects required with rotating teams assigned to each project. The projects are taken from "realworld" engineering problem assignments which impart to students an appreciation of theconstraints and uncertainties inherent in the design process. Project 1 necessitates

It is hoped that it could be offered in a similar format in Spring 2010.IntroductionAs highlighted in “The Engineer of 20202: Visions of Engineering in the New Century”1, naturaldisasters can still have serious impacts on society. Of these disasters, earthquakes provide aunique challenge due to the fact that there is limited ability to forecast the level of damage futureevents would deliver to built-environment. The low frequency but high consequence nature ofmajor urban area earthquakes requires sharing of technical and societal experience at global levelto understand the processes involved and to develop successful engineering designs as well asorganizational understanding to minimize risk in urban areas.

The difficulty arises in how do students demonstrate orfully understand what these outcomes are asking when the demonstration is possibly leftto a single event within the senior year. These professional outcomes have been referredto as “soft” outcomes by many when they were first presented as part of ABET EC2000Criterion 3.

engineeringeducation requirements by NCEES is the assertion that the body of knowledge related to thelicensed practice of engineering has dramatically expanded in recent decades and will continueto do so. Concurrently, the number of credit hours required for graduation has decreased dueprimarily to political and economic pressures in virtually all states to provide baccalaureateprograms with fewer hours of coursework. Thus, the body of knowledge required to enter thepractice of engineering in the future does not fit within the curricula currently provided byundergraduate engineering programs.This is generally reflected in the following statement, which is provided in the report entitled“Educating the Engineer of 2020,”(1) prepared by the National Academy of

The electives are used to fulfill two College requirements: 1) A general education component of 15 semester hours that ensures focused studies in non-technical areas; and 2) The remaining 21 semester hours provide flexibility for students to pursue a formal minor in an approved area or earn a certificate in a multidisciplinary area (e.g., Technological Entrepreneurship, Health and Biological Sciences, International Business, Law and Engineering) developed by the College in collaboration with other colleges on campus, or build strength in a technical

In doing so, we asked ourselves the following questions: 1) What is our approach in teaching sustainability: breadth or depth? 2) What do we want students to be able to do at the end of semester? 3) What active learning methodologies can we employ in this class? 4) How should we assess student performance?Answering the first two questions would determine which subjects should be covered in thiscourse.

The model of self-regulated learning has been developedthrough research and practice, and involves self-monitoring and self-correction of three aspectsof learning: self-regulation of motivation, behavior, and cognition. SRL refers to active learningthat is guided by three aspects of learning: (1) motivation to learn; (2) metacognition (i.e
