experience.Field Engineering and Readiness Lab OverviewIn 1994 the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the United States Air ForceAcademy initiated an innovative concept in higher education: The Field Engineering andReadiness Laboratory, more commonly referred to as FERL. FERL is a direct result of thevision and dedicated effort of Retired Brigadier General David O. Swint to improve the learningof students in this unique course. FERL is where engineering practice and education areuniquely combined in a hands-on construction environment. In addition to improving thelearning, FERL was intended to increase interest in and motivation to study civil andenvironmental engineering.

This laboratory will be created with maximum sustainability, with repurposedmaterials and architecture designed to work in tandem with the land on which it is built. The landis near the HBCU but not the PWI, generating a need for remote planning and collaboration. Inaddition, the laboratory will aim to benefit the local community by reflecting on the area's historyand context and contributing via learning resources, sustainable agriculture, and accessibleknowledge sharing.Our lessons learned are divided into three fundamental areas: using a PALAR framework,intentional community engagement, and genuine inter-institutional

Thechallenge in the first graduate course is to review and build enough of a foundation to launch thestudent into product design and research and to wet his or her appetite for advanced study.IntroductionA half century ago the first course at the graduate level in electromagnetic theory commonly wasbased on a textbook such as Plonsey and Collin.1 The course strongly emphasized Ma eequations and their analytical solution with applications to open- and closed-structures. In manyrespects the course outline followed that of its undergraduate cousin, but at the graduate levelvirtually every topic was approached with increased mathematical rigor. This theoreticalemphasis was especially strong in the
