The topics in column 3 are the proposed topics for a newthree-year civil engineering program. Most three year topics remain at approximately the samenumber of credit hours as the average four year program. The CE (Civil Engineer) seminarcourse is designed to cover professional issues in engineering listed in the EAC-ABET civilengineering program criteria including business, public policy, leadership, professional ethics,licensure, and professionalism. Topics that were eliminated include dynamics, constructionmanagement, engineering economics, and computer aided drawing (CAD). The topics that

Dr. Mueller’s teaching and research areas focus on environmental and water resources engineering, including stream restoration, sustainable design, environmental river mechanics, and stormwater management practices for low-impact develop- ment. As graduates of Rose-Hulman typically leave with technical competency, she feels strongly that students need to understand the importance of also developing skills in non-technical areas, including sustainability, ethics, and critical thinking. Additionally, Dr. Mueller aspires to continue to provide mean- ingful experiential learning opportunities for her students. Through these experiential

on Undergraduate Research, undergraduate research is defined as “aninquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an originalintellectual or creative contribution to the discipline [1].” As stated in literature, undergraduateswho conduct research show improvements in thinking independently, thinking critically, puttingideas together, solving problems, analyzing data, analyzing literature, interpreting researchfindings, conducting ethical research, writing and communicating [2-9]. Literature also assertsthat it is rare for students to have enough opportunity to gain higher-order thinking skills fromtheir undergraduate research experiences [10].Students involved in undergraduate research also report outcomes that may
