infrastructure of the United States is exceeding its design capacity and is aging, requiringmaintenance and renovation. In order to meet this challenge, a need exists to produce civil andenvironmental engineers who have a broad understanding of the pressing needs of the infrastruc-ture of the United States. With this in mind, the faculty of the Civil and Environmental Engi-neering (CEE) Department at [institution] reviewed the program curricula (for the first time in atleast 20 years) and decided to redesign the curricula with an infrastructure theme. A DepartmentLevel Reform planning grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) was used to plan anoverhaul of the curriculum that infuses an infrastructure theme throughout.Once the curriculum planning

Themes: A. Foster a sense of belonging to the School and the CEE profession. Objectives: 1. Implement early and vertically-integrated engagement of CEE students. Initiatives: a. Create a spine of sequential problem-based learning courses 2. Develop holistic and collaborative engineers who know how to discover and solve real- world problems while creating value. Initiatives: a. Integrate skill development in teaming, reflection, and computational development at maturing levels of technical proficiency. b. Incorporate entrepreneurially-minded learning (EML) with a primary focus on two pedagogies: Story-Driven Learning (SDL) and

In thefields of engineering, there is also broad agreement that job prospects for energy-literateengineers are up, and anecdotal evidence in states with growing populations (e.g. south andwestern states) suggests that employment opportunities in energy and power will remain robustin the foreseeable future.With these factors in mind, the authors began in 2006 to organize several efforts to addressenergy education at Baylor both amongst upper-level engineering students and various non-engineering populations.

In addition to the potential for improved student outcomes withinductive learning, the real world nature of PBL modules can lend itself for engineering design experiencesthat may also include broader Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). The goal of this project was to introduce a PBL module with a real world scenario into“Biomechanics” courses that cover the theory and methods for solving dynamics problems.
