Integrating CPBL-beyond-Classroom into Curricular StructureA successful curriculum should offer a rich and balanced learning experience with variousinstructional strategies including lecturing, CPBL activities, and other active learningcomponents. In this section, the curricular structure of EE440 is described as an example toillustrate how to integrate CPBL-beyond-Classroom model in teaching practice. We hope thisclassroom-tested curricular structure can serve as a reference for other colleagues in similarinstitutions to

However, few practicing elementary school teachershave the academic backgrounds that allow them to teach coding in a manner that goes beyondallowing students to learn how to code through trial-and-error experimentation and as an additivelearning activity such as an after-school program. Current content and practice standards call forthe use of argumentation in the teaching of mathematics and science [1] [2]. This project isfocused on extending collective argumentation framework developed by Conner [3] for theteaching of mathematics to the teaching of coding.

Vertical IntegrationSustainability has been proven to be a significant need for the civil and construction engineeringand management (CCEM) industries. The concept of sustainability, however, is not commonlytaught in the undergraduate curriculum; it is generally covered and taught in graduate-levelcourses. Though undergraduate students may have an interest in sustainability, their exposure toit comes later in their educational curriculum. In this Transforming Undergraduate Education inSTEM (TUES) project, the researchers develop a problem-based learning framework that (1)introduces sustainability earlier in the undergraduate curriculum, and (2) provides an opportunityfor vertical integration across courses within CCEM curriculum.
