The program provides significant hands-on experience through engineering laboratories and participation in engineering projects required in eight semester-long design courses. The emphasis on fundamentals is intended to prepare students for dealing with the rapid pace of technology and the interdisciplinary nature of engineering practice. The laboratory and design portions of the program provide the students with a balanced perspective on the theory and practice of the engineering profession.9One impact of this mission is the delineation of courses into fundamentals and elective courses.The fundamentals and design courses are required of all students, and lay the foundation

Before introducingthis approach, however, the specific problems shall be examined more deeply in the next section.2. Further Examining the Teaching ProblemsThe initial motivation for the research described in this paper was the desire to address anidentified imbalance of teaching structural behavior within undergraduate structural engineeringeducation. Furthermore, the authors believe that the inability to teach qualitative andquantitative material simultaneously is prevalent in engineering education, in
