studentsreceived a larger grade benefit than higher performing students (Figure 2). In some cases, higherperforming students saw a worsening on their overall grade due to these group-graded events.Courses where team-based graded events represented a larger fraction of the total grade (>25%)saw a significant impact on final course grades, in some cases >5%.Figure 1. Histograms of a 5th term environmental engineering course (a, b) and a 7th term environmental engineeringcapstone course (c, d). Separate final grades were calculated for only individual-graded events (a, c) and all-gradedevents (b, d). Width of bins are based on letter grade ranges.Figure 2.

(Incontrast, a minor is 6 courses or 18-24 semester hours.) These requirements are a minimum oftwo additional semester hours beyond the student’s engineering major.The sustainability designation requirements are: a) A one-semester-hour Introduction to Sustainability Challenges seminar course, ENGR 184 (for details, see the next section). b) A sustainability-related elective course of three or four semester hours.

©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Implementing Integrated Project-Based Learning Outcomes in a 21st Century Environmental Engineering CurriculumAbstractEngineering education research and accreditation criteria have for some time emphasized that toadequately prepare engineers to meet 21st century challenges, programs need to move toward anapproach that integrates professional knowledge, skills, and real-world experiences throughoutthe curriculum [1], [2], [3]. An integrated approach allows students to draw connections betweendifferent disciplinary content, develop professional skills through practice, and relate theiremerging engineering competencies to the problems and communities they care about [4], [5

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore students (UMES)students in 3 undergrad courses (Introduction to Environmental Sciences; Biology for Honors students; andEcology) and 1 graduate course (Teaching STEM at K-12 schools), and summer-exchange undergraduateengineering and high school interns had the opportunity to research the effects of Covid-19 pandemic onair quality for selected overpopulated cities in the world. The data collected were from March 2020through summer of 2022. The objectives of integrating this research in STEM education are: a) tofind a correlation among air quality parameters because of Covid-19; b) to analyze the effects ofthe pandemic on CO

In a sense,while we teach students to communicate the rigor of their work in technical writing in otherengineering courses, in the policy-oriented courses, we ask them to ‘unlearn’ complex phrasing,avoid professional jargon, leave the technical details for the Appendix, and invert the narrationtriangle, focusing on message first, with clarity and simplicity, in the most efficientcommunication mode with the shortest possible delivery time.With reference to the pedagogical bases we have adopted, we present an overview ofpedagogical approaches and resources we use in these two courses and share characteristicmodules from our courses that demonstrate a) the use of case studies, and b) multi-modalapproaches to

However, this institution may align the mainly teaching-oriented mission of a PUI andthus are presented here as PUIs.Due to the historic links between EnvE and the CivE field, CivE programs are also included foranalysis. Out of the total 261 ABET accredited CivE programs, 45 are at non-doctoral grantinginstitutions while 216 are in doctoral granting institutions (Appendix B). Among the non-doctoral granting CivE programs, 24 are in “Master’s Colleges & Universities” and 15 are at“Baccalaureate Colleges”.
