Student feedback was alsovery favorable, with high marks given in all categories. Written student feedback indicated thatthe hands-on approach was highly valued. Many indicated that making the programmingtangible made the concepts more clear.Introduction and BackgroundWest Virginia University uses a common first year program for its Engineering curriculum,which includes two consecutive introductory courses. The second course is primarily dedicatedto teaching fundamental Matlab programming as an engineering tool. Such programs arecustomary in common first year curricula.1-4 The

It has been suggested that attention be paid tothe formation of teams and that training in how to work as a team occurs early and often inengineering education.1 Effective teams can provide many benefits to students, including anincrease in knowledge and skills, such as communication, from working with people unlikethemselves. Furthermore, such skills undoubtedly transition into myriad facets of life aftercollege—rendering the skills an invaluable asset for engineering students.Formation of Teams and Team Dynamics in Engineering EducationTeams and

Background and MotivationTechnology has the potential to aid instruction, but the simple act of using technology to deliverinstruction does not improve the instruction being delivered [1]. In order to have a positiveimpact on student learning, instructional technology developers must draw on what is knownabout how people learn and then use technology to improve the quality of the instructionalmaterials. This often involves collaboration between researchers with backgrounds in educationand those with backgrounds in software, or other technologies. This paper serves as a case studyof one such instructional software development process, the development of the Adaptive Mapdigital textbook

Despite this effort, low-income communities, particularly those of color, stillexperience disproportionately negative impacts from environmental contaminants when comparedto low-income white communities (Cutter, 1995; Taylor, 2000; Bullard, 2001; Maantay andMaroko, 2009) due to unequal exposures to environmental stressors such as soil, air, and waterpollution (Bullard, 2001; Wilson et al., 2008; Fan et al., 2019).

Thus, there is a demand for student development processes and experiencesthat facilitate the acquisition of both technical and professional skills. For this project,professional skills, often referred to as “soft skills,” include a variety of competencies such ascommunication, teamwork, professional and ethical responsibility, and more as determined byABET and delineated in the results of this paper. Unlike technical skills, professional skills takemore time to develop and sharpen [3]. Additionally, they are not as amenable to course-basedlearning often due to their “untestable” nature.

Tomeet this challenge, engineers need to be able to examine the past, understand what has and hasnot worked, and how to approach design to prevent future failures.Within the context of civil and environmental engineering, failure has come at a high cost to thepeople who rely on infrastructure systems that no longer work

Based on this, the domains of learning are broadlycategorized as cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) [1].

Since 1940,when the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the Association ofAmerican Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) proposed the modern structure of tenure andacademic freedom [1], there have been both proponents and critics of tenure.
