Prior to attending graduate school at Colorado State University (CSU) she spent 3 years working as a Design Engineer for RBF Consulting in Storm Water Management. Where, she worked on various flood control, hydrology and hydraulics projects. She is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of California. She completed her graduate studies in Civil Engineering at CSU with a MS in 2006 and Ph.D. in 2009, where she specialized in sediment transport and river mechanics.Kenneth W. Lamb P.E.

paper reviews the commonlygeotechnical design and analysis programs used in the practice and discusses about a fewmethods to integrate these current commercially available geotechnical programs into thecommon taught geotechnical courses to stimulate the students’ interest, enhance the teachingeffectiveness and develop the students’ problem-solving skills. By adopting these methods,students would develop the appreciation for the geotechnical design theory they learned in theclass, learn how to abstract a real world project into a numerical model, and connect the theorywith geotechnical practice for various geotechnical design problems. Some of the projects fromthese classes can further be developed into undergraduate and graduate research

He had been actively involved in planning, designing, supervising, and constructing many civil engineering projects, such as roads, storm drain systems, a $70 million water supply scheme which is comprised of treatment works, hydraulic mains, access roads, and auxiliary civil works. He had developed and opti- mized many highway design schemes and models. For example, his portfolio includes a cost-effective pavement design procedure based on a mechanistic approach, in contrast to popular empirical procedures. In addition, he had been equally engaged in the study of capacity loss and

In this context, the integration ofreproductive and interactive training such as role-games, business-games, brainstorms,discussions, creative tasks, and projects are of great practical value for the high schoolstudents.The module education approach was reflected in the design of the interdisciplinary courseapplied by teachers in the Kazan high school, Republic of Tatarstan. The modules arerealized in separate disciplines as well as being included in training courses and extracurriculum work.

engineering student participants developed their technology deliverables (product design specifications, concepts, detail designs, and prototypes) in parallel with, and frequently independent of, the business team’s market research. In other words, design work was completed prior to establishing market requirements. This issue inhibited meaningful exchange of ideas and unnecessarily limited team interdependency. 2. In cases where the technology was discovered to have limited market feasibility (crowded market space, high cost of entry, or small market), the business team tended to disband, while engineering team was stuck with the project since they were enrolled in a 2-semester course. 3.
