[Students graduate from high school in late May andenter college in early August].The author of this manuscript taught an FYOS course section “Engineering Is Part of a LiberalEducation” where the learning objectives were to help students understand that developingsolutions to complex problems require the integrative nature of engineering. In this coursesection, lectures focused on a case study that will be called herein as the Farming Subdivision.The following outlines the case study. Urban sprawl from the Atlanta-metro area is a concern of Jackson County Georgia. In 2002, agricultural census data indicated that the county has approximately 42,000 acres in field crops and this dropped to just over

the form of classroom lectures is still the most prevalent methodat institutions of higher learning. While classroom lectures are an important component of teaching, theireffectiveness, as far as student’s comprehension of the subject is concerned, may be less than desirable. Ofparticular concern is the way engineering courses are typically taught — based primarily on lectures. In-depthunderstanding of the physical concepts and methods of analysis discussed in an engineering course, especially atthe senior-level and beyond, requires an enhanced method of instruction that gives full consideration tovariation in students’ learning styles and thinking preferences. 1 However, tailoring of classroom lectures alone,toward this objective, would

Accelerated technology development is one macro-level factor that contributes tocivil engineers requiring agile technical skills (e.g., related to infrastructure, automation, virtualcollaboration, information access, and big data). Although technical knowledge is traditionallythe foundation of civil engineering education, the workforce also needs professional skills suchas leadership, teamwork, ethical reasoning, disciplinary boundary crossing, and communicationto be competitive and successful in the civil engineering profession [28]. With an agingworkforce and high turnover [12], it is imperative to integrate these non-technical competenciesin academic and professional curricula for current and future generations of engineers.

Only the Challenge attribute displayed divergent improvements.Introduction Leadership traits are not always emphasized in the engineering curriculum of highereducation institutions. Once in college, if a student starts an engineering program, leadershipopportunities are typically only available through extracurricular activities or internships1. This islargely because traditional engineering programs are not able to accommodate specific coursesthat foster leadership traits in their degree plan. This lack of curriculum integration can often beattributed to the topic’s perceived complexity and the growth in the number of required corecourses that subsequently

As the society becomes increasinglytechnologically advanced, real time-data acquisition and on-line processing of data will becommon place both in workplace and home.
