Thismethod encourages students to learn through practical, tangible examples of forces anddisplacements rather than abstract variables (x and y), enabling them to apply these concepts toother areas. It is important to ground abstract concepts in real-world applications. Studentsappreciate the practical aspects and the links to real-world examples.The objective when designing the geotechnical engineering course was to enhance studentlearning through real-world case histories.

In addition, the GIS skillset can be helpful tothe freshmen in several of their upper-level courses such as water resources, soil mechanics, environmental engineering, geology etc.This is because the GIS database has a huge repository of real-world data such as demographics, environment, geology, hydrology,government, and infrastructures throughout the world.Historically, this course has

Allprojects in this class use real data, with students prompted to solve a problem, analyze a data set,or design a solution from the perspective of the engineer. Thus, the integrated projects link GIStools and skills to real engineering context, an approach that has proven valuable to studentlearning.

The curriculum is structured into two distinctphases. During the initial phase, students are introduced to the fundamental principles ofsurveying, while the subsequent part focuses on the actual implementation of these principles inlaboratory settings and real-world projects.

Also, more workcould be placed into demonstrating the value and relevance of the DSESA course in solvingengineering-related problems. The prerequisite courses and the student's prior knowledge havenot been extensively looked at in this study.

He reflected on the 19th century apprenticeship model and early 20thcentury practical application training that nurtured an engineering mindset through personalcontact and hands-on learning. Gregory believed past approaches better instilled design intuitionand real-world know-how, developing design proficiency by imitation, learned rules-of-thumb,and learned the practical rules of design and construction.Gregory described a problem with overly theoretical training. He argued the growing emphasison analytical skills came at the expense of teaching
