and seepage, volumechanges, effective stress, strength and compaction. A variety of strategies are used in the class tobalance efficiency and innovation. Additionally, efforts are being made to highlight thecontributions of female engineers to the field, ensuring that students encounter role models whoreflect the diversity of the profession. These include lecture, discussion, peer teaching, hands-ongroup activities, labs introducing standard laboratory procedures, labs supporting inquiry, casestudies, and real or virtual field trips. Examples of how IE cognitive tools are used in the classare shown in Table 2. They include extensive use of the following cognitive tools: story, mystery,fantasy, heroism, extremes of reality, theoretic thinking

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

ability to teach leadership, the ability to learnleadership skills has been shown to prepare those in leadership positions [7]. Some engineeringcurricula and professions deliberately incorporate leadership [8]. The need for an engineer leaderis visible with the increased need for problem-solving. Leadership training has been included inengineering education through specific learning approaches. Leadership has been included in thecurriculum in the classroom [9], [10] through capstone courses [11], [12], and also throughservice learning [8], [13].The needs of the civil engineering career field are evolving due to the changing demands.Leadership skills for engineers are in demand [14].
