significantinfrastructure challenge. Brazil has struggled to provide adequate water, electricity, roads andhighways services for its burgeoning population. Today, many areas of Brazil have madepromising advances in infrastructure but demand outpaces the rate of advance. For instance,while water treatment facilities grew by 80% in the 1990’s, demand for treated water grew by450%. The regions of greatest growth during this time period were the heavily urbanized Page 13.190.8Northeast and the Southeast [2].Water treatment is a process that is as significant to a population, as it is delicate and unstable.

uncertainty to a relevant environmental engineering scenario.AssessmentBoth indirect assessment (an indicator of perception of outcome attainment) and directassessment (an embedded indicator of performance in outcome attainment) are used to assesscourse outcomes in our program. Because both types of data are important, all outcomes areevaluated using an overall assessment score, which is based on indirect data from surveys (Likertscale) and performance based (embedded) indicators. The indirect score is based on a scaledassessment (1-5 Likert scale) from student surveys using the web-based end of course feedbacksystem and the instructor’s assessment. The students and instructor(s) review each courseoutcome and determine to what degree cadets can

Two of the four students interviewed at the endof the first PBL unit believed the unit was “lecture-based”. Some engineers reported feelingoverwhelmed by the biology course content at the end of the first two units, but it is also possibletheir assessment was colored by a certain temptation to default to the biology student(s) rather thanassume responsibility for the new content. Quiz scores at the end of the second unit did notindicate that the majority of
