Figure 4: Assessment strategy during each sample semester of CE350: Infrastructure Engineering, dividing the entire course into two even groups to get a balance of responses both before and after the lesson.Students in “Group 2” were presented with a shorter, qualitative-focused survey before thelesson. Unlike Group 1, Group 2’s initial questions were only meant to gauge studentknowledge of the material before the demonstrator lesson. In this way, Group 2 was used as acontrol group to prevent all students from seeing the qualitative questions

is so necessary to make financialdecisions, research has shown that in the United States knowledge of financial concepts isuniversally low, although we are not alone or an isolated case [3, 13]. This lack of knowledgehas been seen to correlate to ineffective financial behaviors both in the U. S. and in othercountries [3, 4, 5, 14]. This has not gone unnoticed and leaders and policymakers in the U. S.and around the world who have called for greater education to promote financial knowledge [15,16, 13, 17].The President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy (PACFL 2008) in the U.S. noted that"far too many Americans do not have the basic financial skills necessary to develop and maintaina budget, to understand credit, to understand investment

)Overall Preparedness of UndergraduatesWhen evaluating the overall structural engineering skills of graduates, 72% of practitioners [14]and 83% of educators [15] felt that they were not well prepared to enter the workforce. Clearlythere is still room to improve structural engineering and analysis undergraduate education withrespect to preparing graduates for practice. Looking specifically at structural analysis courses,practitioners and educators agree that traditional classical (“hand”) methods are highly important.But both groups also clearly agree (if not even more strongly) on the importance of studentcompetency in applying the concepts, learned through classical methods, within computerprograms.From the early 1800’s and the first industrial
