In the term project students engage inresearch to design their “Greencrete” using recycled materials, industrial waste products orindustrial byproducts. Students are expected to engage in research and

participants was formed towork on follow-up activities (including the development of another workshop/conference) withthe objective of formulating specific learning outcomes that identify core transportation conceptsand competencies expected of graduates from undergraduate Civil Engineering programs. Acompanion goal was to define appropriate taxonomies to measure student success in reachingthese outcomes.More specifically, building on existing literature, the group has been working to identify andvalidate a set of key transportation concepts. Following best practices in course design, thegroup will also formulate a set of outcomes related to these concepts around which a coursecould be developed. Further, the group expects to identify and develop a

A pilot version of the course was first offered in the fall 2015 semester tonineteen students who transferred into the curriculum; a revised version of the course wasoffered in fall 2016 to 56 students. Although the course provided necessary direct evidence thatthe learning outcomes were met, it was unpopular with the majority of the students. It is hopedthat the paper might stimulate a broader discourse on the role of professional issues courses,versus an infusion model for teaching these topics which is likely to be more successful. Bestpractices for implementation may emerge if individuals share both successes and failures

The iterative validation confirmed theimportance of many rubric criteria, but also revealed opportunities to add or refine criteria thatwere not adequately represented in the rubric. In addition, iterative validation supported potentialremoval or consolidation of criteria that did not seem to be broadly applicable to sustainability oracross disciplines. Since the sustainable design rubric is intended for undergraduate studentprojects, there were also categories within the frameworks deemed inappropriate for student-level projects. This paper reviews the validation process and results and presents changes to thedraft rubric

Review of Program EducationalObjectives (PEO) in spring 2007 did not result in any curriculum changes since theobjectives were already broad statements of what a graduate should be able to accomplishfour to eight years after graduation (Table 2).

Material for the ETWseminars is drawn primarily from references 9,10,11,12 and from the broader peer-reviewedliterature on teaching and learning. With respect to the Model Instructional Strategy, seminarsare used to orient participants to the subject matter, provide learning objectives, andcommunicate basic information. These sessions are also used to stimulate critical thinking,through integrated small-group activities, questioning, and discussions (Figure 6).
