However, a number of more carefully considered and/or market-based measureswere also laid out, such as used textbooks [9], financial aid for textbooks purchases [10],increased library lending [11], textbook rentals [12], e-textbooks [13], and “lean” or customtextbooks [2].`A more novel and recently explored measure to alleviate textbook expenses in courses is the useof Open Educational Resources, or OER, which we defined by UNESCO as “teaching, learningand research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain orhave been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation andredistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.” [14] It was previously considered by theauthor [1

Although not in the first year due to the large core curriculum requirements, thedepartment offers one HIP at the start of the major, and one at the end of the senior year. The first HIP occurs during a three week period in the summer between the sophomoreand junior year, Civil Engineering 351: Civil Engineering Practices – Field Engineering.

The final year consists of traditional capstone design projects, similar to those at mostaccredited programs.As noted in the previous section, retention can be improved by many different factors. One ofthe results of having a project course with professional skills every semester during the entiredegree program is that as students work in teams and present so that they get to know each otherwell and develop a community. As already noted, a community aids in student retentionthroughout the entire four-year sequence [4]. Particularly in the second year, more benefit isgained when a focus is placed on directing students toward their future careers and providingmentorship to aid their motivation to continue in
