sustainability. Prior to joining the JMU Engineering faculty in 2012, Dr. Barrella was at Georgia Tech completing her Ph.D. research as part of the Infrastructure Research Group (IRG). She also completed a teaching certificate and was actively involved with the Center for the En- hancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) at Georgia Tech. Her academic interests focus on two primary areas of sustainable transportation: (1) community-based design and planning and (2) strategic planning and policy development. Dr. Barrella is also interested in investigating how to best integrate these research interests into classroom and project experiences for her students

working on advanced or capstone projects, often with industrial sponsors. Sincethe implementation of EGR 100, selected first-year student teams (the number of first-year teamsprecludes us from having all of the teams participate) have also displayed their projects at DesignDay. Participation in Design Day is an opportunity for CoRe Experience students to demonstratetheir academic success in a setting that provides an opportunity to interact with industryprofessionals and members of the faculty. Preparing for this event is another opportunity forstudents to practice their oral and written technical communication. In some cases, the projectsdisplayed at Design Day are the results of a service learning project. In these cases, students getto share
