It is important that the aims and objectives ofproblem-based learning are reflected in every aspect of the learning environment created.Problem-based curriculum should document accomplishments at the upper levels of Bloom'sTaxonomy Triangle. (Boud & Feletti, 1991). Scholars in the area of cognitive science andeducational psychology have identified four features that clearly separate a problem-basedcurriculum from a traditional, topic-based curriculum. (Nickerson, et. al. 1985). and equally tothe experiences that lead to those outcomes. The important aspect here is to move away from ateaching. Grading is

Engineering isunique in that its practitioners must master all of these modes of representationand use them together in problem-solving design. For engineering education, the idea of representation constitutes asignificant opportunity at creating an overarching framework. For decades,students have taken a variety of courses in the engineering curriculum and weengineering educators have not offered them an explanation as to how all thesepieces fit together. By introducing the idea that engineering is about usingrepresentations to make sense of the world, we provide the student with

Assessment in an Introduction to Engineering CourseIntroductionIn light of climate change, increasing global population, and the need to repair or replace agingand deteriorating infrastructure, as well as goals such as those articulated by the United Nations[1], it has become critical for civil engineers to have knowledge of the impacts of their projectsover their entire life cycle. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool to examine the environmentalimpact of a product or process throughout its life and the use of LCA in all areas of civilengineering is becoming more common, e.g. [2]–[11].

However, many problems facing students in classroom settings arelimited in scope, an issue magnified by the dramatic shift and broadening of scope seen in the jobexpectations of chemical engineers over the past 30 years.1-3 This shift has required chemicalengineers to be integrated with a large number of different fields such as materials science,electrical engineering

four steps of the engineering design process:1. Systems Mapping. Students learn to identify the people, societal issues, and materials that are integral to the assigned team project’s problem space. Through drawing a systems map, students analyze how their project and its intended goal connect to the world around them.2. Pairwise Comparison Chart Activity. Students assume the role of various stakeholders (those invested in the project in some way) to complete a pairwise comparison chart, thus simulating how different stakeholders make trade-offs when determining important design criteria.3.

A pairwise linkage could be asoft link in which conceptual material from an earlier course could be assumed and built upon inthe higher level course of the linkage. More interestingly, a pairwise linkage could also be a hardlink such as that formed by having term project teams consist of students from both courses. It isour working belief that by implementing over time a set of pairwise linkages across a curriculumthat faculty support will evolve towards more support for
