. Page 11.207.4II. PreparationSuccess in any endeavor requires proper organization. This is especially true in highereducation. Without organization and structure, teaching can easily lose priority relative toresearch. Preparation and presentation without organization will miss the desired goal ofproperly educating and then motivating the students to continue in the discipline as a student, aneducator, a researcher or a practitioner. According to Lowman, “Most excellent instructors planvery seriously, fully aware that alternative ways of organizing class sessions are available, whichgo beyond the mere presentation of material to the promotion of active higher-order learning andmotivation.”11 The planning for the proper use of physical models and

Further,this research can lead to innovative solutions to civil engineering problems, especially when ef-fective bridging mechanisms between research and practice are established.3 While it is possibleto find faculty with expertise in science-based research who are able to teach practice-orienteddesign classes, such people are in short supply. Hence, many departments have a significantnumber of faculty who have a low likelihood of teaching traditional civil engineering design orobtaining a P.E. license.
