concepts and techniques.However, a major portion of teaching still takes places in classroom settings. Educators adoptvarious pedagogical practices, teaching-aids, and technologies to engage students in learningthe course contents effectively within the controlled environment of classrooms. In ideal classsettings, an instructor should be able to reach out to all students regardless of their learningstyles. These learning styles could be sensory, intuitive, visual, verbal, reflective, active,sequential and global as defined in the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) classification system[1] - [5].Active and hands-on learning in environmental engineering is not new. More recently, theauthor has been involved in multiple studies focused on promoting

other industries. The data does notdifferentiate the type of incidents that contribute to the injury rate. A low overall injury rate doesnot necessarily correlate to the degree of lab safety since some injuries will be unrelated to labwork. Actual injury rate is likely higher than the data shows because it only includes reportedinjuries above a certain threshold. The BLS tracks causes of days away of work by industry, butit groups education with health services, which is the industry with the highest injury rate.Therefore, no analysis was done on whether the types of injuries at universities could reflect labaccidents.Generally, city governments are responsible for building and fire safety. Other alternative safetymonitors are found at the

interview. Furthermore, because the author had developed a close workingrelationship with each of these students, a significant impact from the “Hawthorne effect”would be expected and these results should be interpreted with this in mind7. In otherwords, the responses of the alumni is likely biased by the personal relationship with theauthor, and therefore the results reflect a combination of both the views of the alumni onmastery learning as well as the views of the alumni on the author (i.e., some alumni mayseek to provide a “positive” response in hopes of “pleasing” the author).Of the ten alumni: 1) seven were male and three were female; 2) the ages ranged from 22to 26 years of age; 3) all were employed in the practice of engineering; and 4) all

the P3 projects.• “The team and the project itself truly reflect the spirit of the University, with people from many different backgrounds and majors coming together to create a novel interdisciplinary answer to a major problem. I still can’t believe how far the team has come since the Phase I proposal, and I can’t wait to see where we can go in the future.”• “It was my first ever project in this research group and I loved it, I wanted to support innovative answers to real-world problems.”• “Not only could we meet other competing teams and people from EPA, NASA, Lockheed, and other big names, we were able to reach out to and inspire K-12 students who were interested in the STEAM fields,”• “While biotechnology is my

to learn more about ground level air quality 4.32 ±0.77 This demo activity was a good use of class time 4.71 ±0.57 I benefited from this demo activity 4.57 ±0.66The remaining two questions asked students their perspective on the impact and quality of thedemonstration. Students provided ranked responses, No Impact (1) to High Impact (5), to thequestion on “What impact has this activity had on your understanding of inversion in theatmosphere,” resulting with an average and standard deviation of 4.23±0.75. Six of the 31 studentsdid respond “Neutral (3)” for this question, reflecting that they were not influenced in eitherdirection. For the
