One of the critical steps in structuralengineering education is to help students understand these behaviors. While some of thebehaviors are rather obvious and can easily be described, many are not.

writes that a holistic curriculum shouldconnect the coursework to one another and emphasize all areas of development and growth –spiritual, emotional, physical, and environmental. He advocates that the teachings of BlessingWay and Protection Way should be a mainstay in the pedagogy in order to practice characterdevelopment (e.g. integrity with social transactions) and learn new skills and knowledge (e.g.viewing coursework through a lens of ecological awareness). By providing Western links to aNavajo framework for learning, Benally attempted to represent a connection between Navajo andWestern knowledge while explicating a framework from Navajo sacred knowledge. The intent ofthis was to prepare Navajo children to be able to function in the modern

Title: Consensus Building Method for Expert Crowdsourcing of Curriculum TopicsAbstractState of the art curriculum development efforts are done with a committee often consisting oftwo to four faculty members but are commonly undertaken by the assigned course instructor.However, the small number of faculty participants in the curriculum development effort canyield an out-of-date and insufficient curriculum for students entering the industry workforce [1],[2], [3], [4]. Crowdsourcing has been used to gather more input from domain experts consistingof faculty and industry professionals [2], [3], [5].
