At the same time it isincreasingly evident that new products and services must be regarded not only as commodities ina marketplace, but also as social actors which can constrain or enable the quality of our life.

That is, the onlyreal opening for improvements is in management and educational improvements that are notformally included into the curricula but can be carried out and continuously adapted.The program management was re-structured by the interaction of the academic disciplines anddesired outcomes/competencies such that the design and experiment skills can be integratedacross course series.

. TheMathematical Association of America has created a subcommittee on “Curriculum Renewalacross the First Two Years” (project CRAFTY) [1]. The MAA has also published a summary ofresults from the NSF-sponsored project [2] and two reports which focus on determining themathematical needs of partner disciplines [3]. Several new directions have emerged, and themost relevant ones can be grouped into three areas: Calculus re-sequencing [4] [5], activelearning methods [2] [6] [7] [8], and applications from engineering & sciences [9] [10] [11] [12].This paper discusses a calculus redesign project that is in progress in the School of Engineeringand Applied Sciences at the University of Virginia.

The need forinterdisciplinarity in assessing and solving geoenvironmental problems requires that students,researchers, engineering personnel and research managers synthesize and apply principles from adiverse set of disciplines. The immense growth in research on waste containment and siteremediation coupled with the need for interdisciplinarity, brings about the necessity for thedevelopment of multidisciplinary and integrated research and curriculum development programsin geoenvironmental engineering.This paper presents a curriculum framework for geoenvironmental engineering developed withsupport from the

There is a need for deeper understanding ofeffect of energy efficiency on component/system design, the environment, and their longterm sustainability. Therefore, current programs need to evolve by infusing these subjectsin the curriculum and laboratory practices. In most engineering technology programs, thetopics are introduced informally in one or more courses. Sustainability is an essentialelement of learning in any technical field [6,7,8], and an integrated approach to teach theconcepts and practices from fundamental to advanced senior-level courses is moreprudent in reforming engineering technology curricula.This paper presents an initiative on integrated teaching of energy

The format of the program lends itself to civil engineering based its ability toperform design work with the same application that serves as a report for review. By eliminatingthe report generation phase of the process, engineers can quickly go from design to submittal andincrease profitability. Development of standardized, reviewable documents can mitigate risk.Both of these qualities have appeal for the new civil engineer.A comprehensive, organized approach encompassing many courses can present Mathcad as auseful tool for their future careers.

A surveyof the National Society of Professional Engineers indicates that 80% of employers feel that theability to work in teams is an important attribute in new graduates. The importance of cross-disciplinary interactions between scientists and engineers has been addressed extensively inrecent years (Zander et al. 1994). Multidisciplinary approaches, total quality management (TQM)and team dynamics have been cited among recent innovations in undergraduate civil engineeringeducation (Pauschke and Ingraffea 1996) along with increasing emphasis on communicationskills and hands-on

InMARATHON, some DoEs may be adopted by other courses, particularly those that follow in asequence. For example, new experiments may be generated for use in traditional laboratorycourses that do not use the MARATHON approach. For MARATHON-based courses, a supplyof new Classical and Jigsaw Experiments may be provided by previous generations of students.The transplanting of experiments within course bundles can be a powerful change agent withinthe curriculum.
