Student Outcomes” through the exploration andstudy of real-world engineering and technological problems. The course addresses ABET criteria(c), (d), (f), (g), (h), and (j); recent assessment results will be presented for (c), (f), and (h), whichare emphasized in the course. The impacts of the course on the students’ attitudes towardsengineering are being assessed with a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches,including the administration of a survey each semester at the beginning (pre survey) and at theend of the semester (post survey).

inengineering education by integrating instructional design techniques, transforming theclassroom into a cooperative learning environment, and incorporating the use ofinformation technology in the teaching/learning process. One of the major outcomes ofthat work is a conceptual framework for assisting faculty in transitioning from moretraditional instructional modes to more collaborative modes of instruction. Drawingheavily on a typical engineering process, this framework maps concepts readilyunderstood in the engineering design world to the development of instructionalexperiences. This paper outlines that framework and discusses our efforts to export thisframework to faculty beyond Bucknell through a pair of national workshops conductedlast summer

The reservoir came within one day of having no usable water supply, and the student’s university came close to shutting off the water supply to all dormitories. Luckily, a substantial rainfall event avoided this situation. Anticipating future droughts, City and University administrators asked local engineering firms to develop a plan to reduce the amount of water used by businesses in the area and the dorms serving the students at your university. These plans are to be implemented by the year 2020. Failure to implement these technologies results in stiff financial fines.After reading this description, the students answered questions outlined in Table 2. Thesequestions were designed
