Internationalization Efforts at Villanova UniversityAbstractIn 2012, Villanova University joined the American Council of Education (ACE) as a member oftheir Internationalization Laboratory. The goal of joining this laboratory was to develop astrategic plan for comprehensive internationalization that will help strengthen the university’sglobal leadership and engagement. ACE describes a process to develop, implement, and monitoran internationalization plan. This paper will describe the status of current internationalizationactivities at the university; specifically focusing on how the Department of Civil andEnvironmental Engineering can help the university articulate, assess, and attain theirinternationalization goals.

IntroductionThe Civil Engineering (CE) program started at Indiana University-Purdue University FortWayne (IPFW) in 2006; the only public program offered in the area that enables students to getexcellent public education while living at home and attending school. In December 2008, theCivil Engineering Assessment Plan (CEAP) was developed and approved, based on thedepartment’s existing “one-assessment-plan-fits-all” format that was developed for all programsin 2004. The assessment plan requires intensive effort to implement and lacks consistency anddocumentation in some aspects of assessment. In order to meet the ABET requirements

Projects involving public and private entities make up a significant portion of both oftheir reviews, indicating the utility of such partnerships to both parties.The projects described above demonstrate the value of partnerships between government andacademia. Additionally, the Department of Civil Engineering at the UMD places great value onhands-on, real-world projects. The UMD recently published a strategic plan consisting of severalgoals. One of these goals was to strengthen ties with local communities in an intentional, visible,and mutually beneficial partnership. Following the publication of the strategic plan, the City ofDuluth

learning priorities require work by students at these higher levels. This learning is not easily demonstrated with traditional timed tests. A selection of case studies of geologic failures was deemed a better fit for this higher level learning. Learning about failure case studies and how to analyze the failures also requires significant class time. Thus, a much greater emphasis on the use of case studies for in class activities was planned.

The course is structured aroundconducting weekly field labs along Lost Creek. In this environmental river mechanics / streamrestoration course, students are introduced through field labs to the concepts of fluvialgeomorphology, aquatic ecosystems, and sediment transport for application in restoring impairedstreams. During the quarter, the students make frequent visits to Lost Creek for the purpose ofcollection baseline monitoring data that is used to classify channel morphology and process,analyze stream habitat characteristics, estimate sediment transport, and analyze stream stability.The data

Obtaining a DCP early in the project canhelp significantly. When fielding prospective projects and during initial investigations, a DCPmay have insight into what types of supplies and materials as well as tools and labor will beinvolved. These factors are critical in understanding if the project will be sustainable in theproposed locale. During the design and planning stages, a DCP can help save the project teamtime and effort by making suggestions concerning the practicality of early ideas. Designsgenerated by students, because of their lack of field experience, may not initially consider real-world

This paper will only focus on the retention ofthose students who arrive each year as freshman.
