. However, Allendoerfer et al. [15] foundthat student perceptions of faculty support are significantly influenced by class size andinstitution type. Astin [16] noted that institution type does not have a strong influence on theeffectiveness of undergraduate education, but that the environment created by faculty andstudents plays a stronger role.The purpose of this study is to examine several educational factors (i.e., institution type, classsize, class meeting time, class length and format, laboratory format, and faculty attributes) thatmay correlate with the amount of knowledge gained in the conceptual understanding ofgeotechnical engineering topics. The study was carried out at six institutions with civilengineering programs: The Citadel

All the testingtime for the students was outside the class time. To ensure that the students get the most of out oftheir hands-on experience, the experimental protocol was vetted thoroughly. The civil engineeringtechnician also assisted the students in testing. For each of the materials, the objectives was thefollowing:1) Determine whether the material is linear viscoelastic?2) Determine if time-temperature superposition is applicable?3) Develop a rheological model, and4) Explain impact of the above results in practical applications.The scope and depth of testing was discussed with

Recommendations The following list provides recommendations for successful future implementation of the proposed SHRP2 vertical integration approach. These recommendations are based on feedback from the SHRP2 module instructors. ̶ Incorporate more SHRP2 hands-on or field components. ̶ Develop more group and individual class projects that focus on utilizing SHRP2 products. ̶ Develop instructions to explain selected SHRP2 products in detail in class or laboratory settings. ̶ Modify existing survey questions for the next iteration to evaluate method of instructions and instructor. ̶ Develop an “instruction manual

The Civil Engineering departmentat Oregon Tech has a strong laboratory component in its curriculum with a majority ofprogrammatic courses including a laboratory. Given the motivations of these two departmentsand mutual interest of the project faculty in bridges, and Conde B. McCullough (Figure 1) inparticular, the faculty identified the potential for a field course to tour important Oregon bridges.Emphasizing those constructed to complete the Oregon coast highway, the course brings thehistory of these bridges together with their design and construction details. Changes in bridgedesign practice were discussed as an analog to the development of civil engineering moregenerally. Figure

AtDrexel, the four-credit class meets twice a week for 80 minutes and once a week for two hours(including a laboratory portion) as one large section. The class size at Drexel typically rangesfrom 60 to 80 students, but the last offering (fall 2017) had an abnormally low enrollment of 34students. Although the academic calendar at Drexel is on a quarter system and Villanova issemesters, the number of class meetings is essentially the same for both schools.
