applying much of thecourse content to calculate seepage, stress and the potential for liquefaction.As a discipline, geotechnical engineering is dynamic and deeply connected to the drama ofhuman fortunes and misfortunes. In didactic settings, however, mastering its concepts andtechniques can be experienced as complex, tedious, and disconnected from meaning. To supportstudents in achieving the intended learning outcomes, the instructors of this course have, overtime, come to incorporate both transmedia and IE elements, using an iterative process of design,testing, and adaptation to refine and optimize the curriculum and its components. Four types ofunderstanding — mythic, romantic, theoretic, and ironic — and their associated cognitive toolswere

more control over their education [8]. Mastery-based-learning (MBL) alsoeliminates the “one-shot” mindset for students taking exams. If students are not able todemonstrate mastery on their first attempt, they are given additional chances and, if theydemonstrate mastery, they will receive the same score as students who succeeded on their firstattempt [9]. This allows students to learn from their mistakes and try again without anypenalties.Since the curriculum in engineering courses continually builds on itself, it is extremely importantthat students have an understanding of prerequisite materials. If students are struggling with themore basic content, they will inevitably struggle with subsequent content. Falling behind canlead students to

. Additionally, educationalexperiences that are active, social, contextual, engaging, and student-owned lead to deeperlearning. The benefits of collaborative learning include the development of higher-level thinking,oral communication, self-management, and leadership skills; increase in student retention, self-esteem, and responsibility; exposure to and an increase in understanding of diverse perspectives;and preparation for real-life social and employment situations (Center for Teaching Innovation,2023; Stump et al., 2011).Integrated Curriculum: Individuals live and work in a connected world. An integrated curriculumcan simply be described as “making connections” (Drake and Burns, 2004). Connected learningis brain-building (NE DOE, 2017). The more
this integration. First, many science teachers and the U.S. general population lack anunderstanding of engineering concepts and their applications [8]. Throughout the years,professional development opportunities for educators have risen to fill this knowledge gap andhelp instructors feel comfortable teaching an integrated engineering curriculum. As aconsequence, student opportunities to interact with engineering curricula have risen.The success of incorporating engineering concepts in classrooms before the college experience isplenty. A survey of 67 instructors teaching high school and middle school STEM classesdetermined that most students engaged more with engineering design projects than regular classactivities. Teachers felt that 69
programming is an integral part of being an engineer and has provided a means ofperforming analysis that would be cumbersome to complete analytically. In Fall 2022, a set ofprojects were developed for a junior level dynamics course. In prior offerings of this course, thetypical dynamics theory was covered and assessed using textbook assigned problems and exams.The developed projects required the students to recollect their knowledge of MATLABprograming from their programming class taught during their first year and apply those skills tosolve systems over a specified time instance. In this paper, the three projects developed arepresented. Subsequently, the assessment of the students’ performance with respect to the desiredlearning outcomes is
from an engineeringstandpoint. In addition, use techniques to compare the sustainability performance of variousalternative solutions. The module content comprises sustainable designs, performance indicators,strategies, etc.[7] . Sustainable manufacturing can be categorized into four; Responsive ProductStrategy (RPS), Lean Practices (LP), Supply Chain Restructuring (SCR), and SustainableMaterial and Design [8]. Considering the possible effects of environmental issues on a business'soperations, financial performance, and reputation, as well as incorporating this knowledge intodecision-making and planning processes, constitutes integrating environmental risk intocorporate strategy. This may involve recognizing and evaluating environmental hazards
