The capstone final reports, presentations, and producthad the largest role in the student work evaluation, but the process and design reviews were alsoimportant. Recently Mintz [5] recognized that the students’ needs and goals are changing and calledon faculty to transform teaching and assessment approaches to the new reality. There has been ashift from relatively homogeneous to highly diverse classrooms and recognize that a one-size-fits-all teaching pedagogy won’t work. Therefore, it is essential for faculty to continuously monitorstudent learning and diagnosing

The authors spoke that these new spaces would be utilized for clinic projects,multiple disciplines courses, for teaching / research, and be able to accommodate multiplecourses of instruction. In the field of Civil Engineering, space was constructed to providetechnology focused courses and research, discipline courses and research, and student teamprojects. More specifically it was made with three contiguous modules that form a 66 x 40ft openarea with one half dedicated to environmental engineering and the other half dedicated toinfrastructure engineering with a classroom centrally located in the center

is not an ABET requirement.Traditionally, surveying courses have emphasized lecture sessions covering surveying principlesand methodologies, complemented by laboratory exercises particular to various surveyingmethods and utilizing surveying instruments [5]. However, alongside this conventional approach,PBL is being introduced, offering students hands-on experience in applying theoreticalknowledge to real-world scenarios [4]. PBL encourages critical thinking, interdisciplinarycollaboration, and the development of essential professional skills such as problem-solving,communication, and project management. Prince and Felder present strong evidence thatinductive teaching methods are more effective than traditional deductive teaching methods

Using pre-identified timing way-points is a helpful technique to ensure one stays on track.A specific goal of using the power demonstrator board is to provide students with a baselineunderstanding of how the various components help keep them safe. Emphasis is placed onmultimeters and outlet testers to check if components are energized or if wiring is incorrect.These basic tools are generally available at any major home improvement retailer or hardwarestore.

authors own work – and referencing a recent systematic review of masterylearning in engineering in higher education – this case study offers a “formula” that faculty mayfollow to incorporate modified mastery learning into their classroom or laboratory setting. Theapproach to modified mastery learning outlined in this article accomplishes two important items.First, the flexibility afforded to the instructor when adopting modified mastery learning meansthat cost savings may be accomplished in the use of institutional resources while accommodatinga diversity of student learning preferences. Second, while traditional approaches fail to guaranteethat every student master every concept, the modified mastery learning style not only maintains –but in
