a percentage of the “maximum” density measured in a standard laboratory test), and the water content. In general, most engineering properties, such as the strength, stiffness, resistance to shrinkage, and imperviousness of the soil, will improve by increasing the soil density.6. Why is determination of water content of soil important? For many soils, the water content may be an extremely important index used for establishing the relationship between the way a soil behaves and its properties (hydraulic conductivity, consolidation, shear strength properties, etc.). The consistency of a fine-grained soil largely depends on its water content. The water content is also used in expressing the phase relationships of air, water, and

It has been used as a community-engaged learning modality for sustainability[10], [11], [12]. Unlike the controlled laboratory settings typical of science and engineering,transdisciplinary settings are complex, dynamic social systems with open boundaries, non-linearbehavior, self-organization, and recursive interactions among agents that hold widely differentvalues. In short, transdisciplinarity is a dynamically complex system. Those who have used thislearning modality report emergent results, often

longer wanted to spend the money to trainnew engineers; they expect the inherent training to come from students’ engineering education[15]. As a result, one such manner students received the training was through the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in conjunction with computer simulation packages that students may utilizein a laboratory to solve realistic problems [1].For example, if a student wanted to reverse engineer a bicycle, you may be able to do this by noteven taking it apart. Many of the parts are visible just by looking at them for different angles [16],[17]. However, if you wanted to reverse engineer, or dissect, a motorcycle (including its engine),there were too many moving parts. It would be impossible to dissect, or disassemble
